# 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.**

Click on three dots on the home screen to access drone connection functionality as shown

**Link Type:**

AeroGCS GREEN offers support for four different protocols that users can utilize to establish a connection, as follows:

1. **Serial**
2. **TCP**
3. **UDP**
4. **Bluetooth**
5. **H12**

Let's go through the steps one by one to establish a connection between the drone and AeroGCS GREEN.
