UAV Flight Control Principle & Open Source Flight Control Web

UAV Flight Control Principle and Open Source Flight Control Website

Flight control is the abbreviation of Flight Control System, which is the control of all kinds of unmanned aerial vehicles and aircraft. You can think that it is like our brain, which obtains data from sensors and uses control algorithms to control the aircraft in real time to achieve the stable attitude, trajectory and mission objectives of the aircraft.

Rduino is the earliest open source flight control. UAV enthusiasts build their own flight control through Arduino, use Arduino language based on C language and C++, and compile and upload the source code through Arduino IDE software. The famous open source flight control WMC and APM are also developed based on Arduino.

PX4 and PIXHawk

Another popular open source flight control, similar to ArduPilot, also supports many types of drones and functions. PX4 is famous for its modular architecture and high performance. PX4 is a professional autopilot. Developed by world-class developers from industry and academia and supported by an active global community, it powers all kinds of vehicles, from racing and cargo drones to ground vehicles and submersibles.

CC3D

CopterControl, CC3D and Atom flight controllers are all stable hardware types running OpenPilot firmware. They can be configured to fly any fuselage from a fixed wing to an eight-axis aircraft using OpenPilot Ground Control Station (GCS) software.

KK Flight Control is an open source flight control project originated from South Korea, and it is also the first multi-rotor flight control widely accepted by the public. In the early stage of the development of open source flight control, the emergence of this flight control was a shock to the whole quadrotor industry.
