Ground Control Station
Here is our unofficial and unauthorized Attopilot-compatible GCS. It is free and open source, and features:
- Standard "T" flight instrument layout.
- Standard aviation industry units.
- Over twice as fast as the original GCS replaying log files, and a similar level of performance improvement with live telemetry.
- Integrates with Google Earth to provide realtime UAV tracking.
- Generates time-stamped KML files from live telemetry or log files (or parts thereof).
- Smooth, precision graphics with simulated instrument inertia to enhance readability and reduce operator fatigue.
- A useable attitude indicator - fast and smooth.
- High-contrast colours for outdoor use.
- Adjustable font sizes, zoomable display.
- Tightly integrated with the Failsafe PTZ, providing joystick control of pan, tilt, zoom and trigger.
- Able to continuously monitor telemetry link integrity.
- Speech synthesis for enhanced situational awareness - watch your UAV instead of a computer screen.
- User selectable units. Can even have a combination of aviation and metric units.
- NEW: Realtime tracking in Google Earth during logfile playback.
- NEW: User definable servo endpoints and direction of travel for pan, tilt, zoom and trigger servos.
