How do people build RTF quads with APM.

Dear all,

I have seen a few websites that sell RTF quadcopters, hexes, octos etc... using Arupilot. How do they do it?

What I mean is, if I bought one of their products, will all the settings be pre-programmed on the board and then shipped?

What would happen if I downloaded the ground-station and plugged in the pre-programmed board? Will all the preprogrammed settings appear on the ground station settings?

Many thanks,

Jethro.

  • Hi,

    I guess if would be logical for them to buy the boards, install firmware suitable for the airframe, configure a few things and (if they make a really good job of it) test fly each aircraft and finally sell them again...

    And yes, if you connect one of those to a ground station you can read the configuration they wrote to it.

    Regards
