When you open the GCS for the first time, you will see that it is organized into tabs and pages for easy navigation.
Use this page for reference to discover the details of each section of the GCS.
Please note every help icons in GCS point to the related Wiki page
The greeting tab which shows you the latest project information and activity, provides buttons for the other pages, as well as containing the start button for the Vehicle Setup Wizard.
Displays live data from the flight controller. Display useful information about flight controller status like alarms in SystemHealth.
This tab contains sub pages which enable you to configure major elements of the flight controller using simple graphical interfaces.
None of the sub pages are active unless a flight controller is connected to GCS.
A configurable interface for viewing and modifying advanced settings, live data, GPS data and more.
Real-time graphing of flight controller data. Care should be taken to not let auto-scaling fool you into thinking you have a problem where there is none.
The longer a scope is functioning, the tighter the scale may get, and a very small deviation in a value may look significant when it's not.
An interface for the GCS to act as a bridge between a flight simulator, and either actual hardware running through the telemetry link or simulated hardware running on the computer.
Firmware: Inspect the current firmware version, and upgrade the bootloader/firmware of the flight controller.
