Flight Controller Setup

We use a Pixhawk flight controller running ArduPilot software. The Pixhawk communicates with an onboard NVIDIA Jetson TK1 using the mavros protocol.

Autopilot Setup

Follow this guide to wire up the electronics and configure the flight controller: http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/initial-setup.html

Note that we have been using MissionPlanner, but you may want to use a different program that is compatible with Linux.
