What It Solves
Need for a modular, open-source autopilot framework for UAV development.
Primary use cases
- Custom flight control software development
- Autopilot algorithm research
When to Use
Consider when
- You require a GPL-3.0 licensed modular autopilot codebase
- You want to extend a flight stack with custom modules
Verify before adopting
- Hardware compatibility not documented in source metadata
- No explicit protocol support listed
- Maturity and testing status unclear
