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.
- Integrates with Google Earth to provide realtime UAV tracking, both with live telemetry and playback.
- 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 up and downlink integrity using internally generated 1Hz heartbeat signal.
- Speech synthesis for enhanced situational awareness - watch your UAV instead of a computer screen.
- On-the-fly waypoints - change your UAV flight plan during flight.
- NEW: Atto version 2.0 telemetry support.
