Overview

What it does: Robotheca's summary

  • Guides the user through an ordered sequence of configuration and tuning steps, each showing only the relevant parameters.
  • Uploads, downloads and edits ArduPilot parameters with documentation for each one.
  • Records a reason for every parameter change and keeps automatic backups of parameters before changes.
  • Provides vehicle templates, both empty and pre-configured for common vehicle types, to start from.
  • Checks that parameters are correctly uploaded to the flight controller and can install Lua scripts on it.
  • Reuses parameter sets across vehicles and offers integrated, context-aware help and tutorials.
