Mission Planner

This page shows you how to configure your ArduPilot UAV described in ArduPilot using Mission Planner. To begin, open Mission Planner and connect to your UAV.

Configuring Serial Ports

In Mission Planner, click on "SETUP", then "Mandatory Hardware", then "Serial Ports". Find the serial port that matches the port you used in Flight Controller and configure the Protocol to MAVLink 2 and the Speed (baud rate) to 921600.

We use a default baud of 921600, but this is configurable and can be changed from Vozilla Configuring MAVProxy

Restart your autopilot after setting the serial port.

Editing ArduPilot Parameters

Navigate to the "CONFIG" tab on main menu, then "Full Parameter List", then click on the "Search" bar in the menu to the right of the screen.

Make sure to click "Write Params" to the right of the list before exiting the Full Parameter List!

Set GPS_AUTO_SWITCH to 0 and GPS_BLEND_MASK to 0.

Set EK3_SRC_OPTIONS to 0.

Set EK3_MAG_CAL to 3.

Set BRD_RTC_TYPES to 2.

Set EK3_GPS_CHECK to 23.

Set EK3_SRC1 param values as shown below.

Once you have set all your parameters, click the "Write Params" button on the right side of the screen before exiting.

All parameters have been written to the autopilot from Mission Planner.
