# Flight Controller

Cyclops requires **one (1) UART port on the flight controller** to communicate with ArduPilot. 4-pin to 6-pin GH-JST serial cables are provided in the box.

For the Cube Orange+ flight controller, this means the **TELEM 1, TELEM 2, and GPS 2 UART ports** are ready to interface with Cyclops.

You will need to connect the flight controller to your Cyclops computer using a UART port, hat, or USB TTL converter.&#x20;

Once you have physically connected to your flight controller[Autopilot Integration](/cyclops/autopilot-integration.md) covers how to configure ArduPilot to connect with Cyclops over these UART ports.
