SokilLink Software Suite is a complete solution for unmanned vehicle operation. It runs on both ground and on-board PCs and delivers most required features for modern drones. The software allows users to control their drones in manual mode, observe real time digital video from on-board cameras with telemetry displayed on top, control the cameras using exposed APIs.
The solution is extremely flexible thus it allows to customize each feature and easily add new ones. For example, a vehicle can carry more that one camera, making it more suitable for professional operations, when an operator should be able to see UAV flight direction and observable object at the same time.
It also comes with powerful logging and monitoring features which are very helpful for hardware development, performance monitoring and troubleshooting
Key features
- One digital data link for all kinds of data (video, telemetry, control)
- Digital video streaming
- Hardware video coding acceleration for low latency streaming (100-160ms)
- Bi-directional telemetry streaming
- UAV/ UGV manual control using gamepad or other input device
- Connecting Ground Control Station software on a separate laptop
- Cameras control (start/stop recording, still shot)
- Multiple cameras support
- Multiple video streams support (limited by radio link throughput)
- Mesh networks support (WIP)
- Multiple vehicles operation support (in Mesh and WiFi AP mode) (WIP)
Typical diagram
Video output application
While most of applications are background services, thus have no user interface, this one is responsible for video output and telemetry drawing. It uses hardware video acceleration so video feed is displayed with minimal latency
Configurator application
This application is aimed for software configuration and recording/displaying (real-time) system logs, what is very helpful during end product development and integration
Customization
Although the solution has support for all important features to build a modern drone, it is also highly customizable. Many other hardware (cameras, radio links, various payloads and even autopilots) may be supported on a request. Feel free to contact us if you need any kind of customization!

Comments
I am an electronics practicing technician for years in radio and
Tv receiver servicing. I can construct
any electronic device with the aid
of clear enough schematic and the
availability of the required components and instruction/guidance.
Iam interested in drones for the
role they play now and the expected
future one
All I need is help with informative
extensively informative tutorials
clear schematics and detailed
information on components used.
I am a keen DIYer
Kindly let me know how can I
benefit from being a member of
your excellent community
I will appreciate an urgent and
encouraging directing reply
Best regards, best wishes,
and stay safe.
