From reading community posts, and even some partners, one recurring issue is how to connect the FCU (Flight Control Unit aka the autopilot) correctly ?
Let’s dive into some examples on how to do it properly on Ubuntu/Debian like computers.
With the application of new regulations all around the world, one noticeable trend is the widespread use of ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) detection modules on drones. Prominent companies like DJI have integrated these modules into their fleets, and ArduPilot has been supporting ADS-B integration for years even before DJI, thanks in large part to CubePilot and UAvionics. These small, integrated modules, such as those found in CubeOrange baseboards, are revolutionizing drone safety. In this post, we will delve into the world of ADS-B, exploring how to build your own ADS-B receiver.
