Your hardware is assembled. These guides take you from powered-on to mission-ready — one software layer at a time.
Install ArduPilot, PX4, Betaflight, or iNav on your flight controller. Covers STM32 DFU mode, bootloaders, STM32CubeProgrammer, and board-specific steps for Orqa H7, Pixhawk, Matek, and more.
Flash companion OS, install ROS, LiDAR drivers, FAST-LIO2, MAVROS FC bridge, first hover. Includes SLAM stack selector. Adapts to your hardware (Jetson/APB/RPi + any LiDAR).
Set up Doodle Labs, Silvus, or Microhard mesh radios for multi-vehicle MANET. IP config, bandwidth allocation, video/telemetry QoS, multi-hop relay, and GCS integration.
Connect your drone to TAK ecosystem. ATAK plugin setup, CoT message format, MAVROS→TAK bridge, video streaming to TAK server, multi-drone COP display.
Open-source wifibroadcast HD video + MAVLink. RTL8812AU on RPi Zero 2 or CM4. Range depends on antennas — stock 1–3km, high-gain + tracker 10–20km+.
Run YOLO, object tracking, and detection models on Jetson/VOXL2/APB. Camera→inference→FC targeting pipeline, OpenCV + ROS, NPU acceleration, edge deployment.
Choreographed light shows, formation flying, and multi-drone swarm operations. MDS (MAVSDK Drone Show), leader-follower, SkyBrush, SITL simulation, time sync, and safety.
RF detection, radar tracking, and defeat system integration. DroneShield, Dedrone, and DIY approaches. Sensor fusion for autonomous C-UAS response.
