7. Connecting a Drone

To ensure a smooth flight operation, it's imperative for the drone to accurately interpret and respond to Remote Control (RC) commands. This requires a robust connection between the drone, Ground Control Station (GCS), and RC, all of which are wirelessly connected. Therefore, users need to provide essential details to enable effective communication between the drone and the software.

Within AeroGCS GREEN, users are presented with various methods to facilitate drone connectivity. These options encompass different mechanisms to establish the crucial communication link between the drone and the software.

Drone connectivity can be established through the following:

Setting Communication Links through available options from Serial, TCP, UDP, and Bluetooth.
