Flight Software: Overview

The SMACCMPilot project has produced quadcopter flight control software as a real-world validation of the project’s new software techniques and languages.

The SMACCMPilot project only supports the [Pixhawk][] flight controller and four motored copters. It comes with tuning parameters for the now-discontinued 3DR Iris and Iris+.

Capabilities

Flight Stabilization

SMACCMPilot implements a simple quadcopter stabilizer for manual piloting. There are no autonomous features implemented.

RC Control

SMACCMPilot is flown manually with a radio controller. For more info, see the Radio Control hardware page.

Telemetry

You can view telemetry from the vehicle using the ground control station software.
