Autopilot Integration

The Cyclops system communicates with ArduPilot over MAVLink 2 protocol. Several operations are performed:

  • Synchronize time: The Cyclops system synchronizes its system time with the time on your ArduPilot flight controller.

  • Pull sensor readings: IMU, magnetometer, barometer, airspeed and position data are read over MAVLink and used by Cyclops.

  • Send position estimates: GPS_INPUT or MAV_CMD_EXTERNAL_POSITION_ESTIMATE are sent from Cyclops to the flight controller (message depends on Cyclops version).

This section goes over each parameter that needs to be configured in ArduPilot and how to configure them from Mission Planner or QGroundControl.
