MavGCS

MavGCS is a ground control station for drones and model aircraft that use the MAVLink protocol: ArduPilot, PX4 and INAV. Connect your iPhone to your aircraft's telemetry and see everything that matters on one landscape screen.

No drone at hand? Open Settings, choose Demo and tap Connect: a simulated aircraft takes to the air so you can try every screen and button.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS • Artificial horizon with airspeed and altitude tapes, heading, climb rate, throttle and wind • Battery voltage, current and remaining charge, with a battery gauge • Systems panel: gyro, accelerometer, compass, barometer, GPS, rangefinder, airspeed and EKF, each green, yellow or red • EKF and vibration health at a glance • Sixteen live readings: speeds, altitude, distances, satellites, attitude, wind and pressure

MAP • Satellite imagery, with place names and roads in Hybrid view • The aircraft, home and the path flown, with lines for heading, track, where it is steering and where it will be • Weather radar for 50 km around the aircraft • Terrain is kept on your phone, so the terrain instruments work without a signal; choose how much in Settings

TERRAIN AWARENESS • Terrain radar: the ground ahead, coloured by how much clearance there is • Live AGL: the ground along your track, your height above it now and the smallest gap ahead • Compass rose showing the way home, your course over the ground and the wind

CONTROL • Arm and disarm with hold-to-confirm buttons • Change flight modes, fly to any point by tapping the map, and set speed, altitude and loiter radius • Choose how often telemetry is sent, to suit slow radio links • ETA to the next waypoint, and directions to the aircraft in Google Maps

CONNECTS OVER • UDP or TCP: WiFi telemetry bridges such as mLRS and ELRS, LTE telemetry, or a simulator (SITL)

MavGCS is open source (GPL-3.0). Always fly within the law and keep your aircraft in sight: MavGCS is an aid, not a certified navigation or collision-avoidance system.
