Ground Control Stations
Tested on Lenovo Thinkpad T540p with Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS installation
We used 2 GCS options. MissionPlanner is used extensively for the configuration portion, while MAVProxy is used during the operation of the drone.
After installing Mission Planner, you can navigate to the directory and open using mono
gcs@gcs-ThinkPad-T540p:~/Apps/MissionPlanner-latest$ mono MissionPlanner.exe
If connection with the drone is successful, Mission Planner should be displaying a live view of the sensors.
Go into the SETUP -> Mandatory Hardware to complete initial calibrations necessary for first flight. More information can be found on the ardupilot documentation here.
