QGroundControl

This page shows you how to configure your ArduPilot drone like described in ArduPilot using QGroundControl (QGC).

Configuring Serial Ports

On the main panel on QGC, click on the QGC logo on the top left corner of the screen, then in the "Select Tool" pop up menu, select "Vehicle Setup". At the bottom of the menu on the left side of the screen on the Vehicle Setup page, click on "Parameters". Then, click on the search bar at the top of the screen to search for your parameter.

Search for the serial port which matches the setting you chose in Flight Controller. In our case, it is serial2.
