We've been asked many times to offer an API for UgCS server to open integration with additional devices and systems such as antenna trackers, security systems and ATC.
Finally it's done and published.
You can find it here: https://github.com/UgCS/ucs-java-client
You will also find 2 examples, the first one showing how to get telemetry, the other one demonstrating the creation of a flight path, uploading it and executing it.
The usefulness of UgCS comes from the fact that your code will be working with all types of drones and autopilots supported in UgCS. And there are quite a few of them already:
- 3DR APM
- 3DR Pixhawk
- Mikrokopter
- Parrot ArDrone
- Parrot Bebop (will be available in UgCS 2.7)
- DJI Phantom 2
- DJI Phantom 2 Vision+
- DJI Wookong-M
- DJI A2
- DJI Naza-M V2
- DJI Phantom 3 (will be available in UgCS 2.6 very soon)
- DJI Inspire 1 (in UgCS 2.6)
- Microdrones (including the "new" flight controller version)
- LM Kestrel (will be available in UgCS 2.7)
- Micropilot (will be available in UgCS 2.7)
The API will work starting from UgCS 2.6. Early adopters can request UgCS 2.6 beta.
Have a good time coding and don't forget to test the code on an emulator before flying a real vehicle.
Safe flights,
UgCS Team
