Using QGroundControl

Using QGroundControl

QGroundControl is a mission planner and Ground Control Station that provides full flight control and mission planning for any supported drone. It can also be used to simulate real missions using an emulator UAS, that you will create in SIMNET.

Note: SIMNET manual flights will work with a keyboard or a joystick controller. Autonomous flights require the use of QGround Control. Joystick controllers must be configured. SIMNET Tutorial: Controller Setup (YouTube).

The videos below explain how to use QGroundControl to interface with SIMNET.
