Flight controller

Cyclops connects to a UART port on the flight controller to communicate with ArduPilot. If you purchased a Preconfigured Cyclops System, a serial cable is provided. Most flight controllers have many compatible serial ports. For example, the Cube Orange+ flight controller, the TELEM 1, TELEM 2, and GPS 2 ports are ready to interface with Cyclops.

You can use a UART cable, serial hat, or USB TTL converter to connect the two devices.

Once you have physically connected to your flight controller, ArduPilot Integration covers how to configure the serial port ArduPilot for MAVLink communication withCyclops over the UART.

Cyclops is connected to a serial port on your flight controller running ArduPilot.
