UAV Toolbox Support Package for ArduPilot Autopilots

Access ArduPilot autopilot peripherals with UAV Toolbox and automatically build and deploy flight control algorithms with Embedded Coder

Overview

Using the UAV Toolbox Support Package for ArduPilot Autopilots, you can access autopilot peripherals from MATLAB® and Simulink®. With Embedded Coder, you can also automatically generate C++ code and use the ArduPilot toolchain to build and deploy algorithms tailored specifically for ArduCopter and ArduPlane flight management units, all while incorporating onboard sensor data and other ArduPilot-specific services.

Features

• Deploy flight control algorithms developed in Simulink directly onto ArduPilot-based autopilots, streamlining the workflow from design to implementation.
• Supports both ArduCopter and ArduPlane firmware, enabling you to work with a variety of aerial vehicles, including multirotors and fixed-wing aircraft.
• Validate your control algorithms using the ArduPilot Software-In-The-Loop (SITL) host target simulation, ensuring reliability and performance of your algorithms under various simulated flight conditions before deploying to hardware.
