Using a Ground Control Station such as [Mission Planner] users can easily build GPS based waypoint missions, view real time telemetry data, control servo’s and access all sensors without writing a single line of code. Users will also enjoy support for features like RTK and indoor positioning, obstacle avoidance, camera gimbal control and cant script advanced missions if needed.
For control hardware, the ArduPilot package utilizes a Pixhawk 2.1, the most advanced civilian grade autopilot module in the world. It boasts top notch features such as a triple redundant power supply, heat stabilized, triple redundant IMU, M8N GPS sensor and on board real time processor. Aion Robotics does not offer direct px4 support
