Assigning and changing flight modes in a GCS
In this section, we’ll take a deeper dive into step 3 from the previous section. Here, we’ll assign the three different flight modes to the switch that we configured previously. As we know, a GCS is the prime source of configuration for a drone, so we’ll use this knowledge to configure the flight mode that we want to put on this switch so that we can change it while it’s flying.
Flight mode configuration is also a key requirement that is of utmost importance before flying the drone and without which the drone could not be flown with the help of a remote controller. Here, we will see how we can configure flight mode in the GCS and how we can change the flight mode through the GCS.
Configuring the flight modes of the remote controller switch
When we open AeroGCS, we’ll see that the various flight modes are controlled through the radio (via a transmitter switch) or using commands from AeroGCS. Select...
