# Autopilot Integration

{% hint style="warning" %}
Cyclops currently only supports ArduPilot.
{% endhint %}

The Cyclops system communicates with ArduPilot over MAVLink. Several operations are performed:

* **Synchronize time**: The Cyclops system contains a real-time clock and synchronizes the time on your flight controller.
* **Pull sensor readings**: compass, barometer, and position data are read over MAVLink and used by Cyclops.

This section goes over each parameter that needs to be configured in [ArduPilot](/micro-vps/autopilot-integration/ardupilot.md) and how to do so from [Mission Planner](/micro-vps/autopilot-integration/mission-planner.md) or [QGroundControl](/micro-vps/autopilot-integration/qgroundcontrol.md).
