Peripheral HardwareΒΆ

This section groups hardware that may (or may not be) present on your frame, including rangefinders, camera mounts, telemetry radios etc. For information related to Autopilot selection see Autopilot Hardware Options. For guidance on cable design, colour coding, and EMI-compliant wiring, especially for larger vehicles with longer wiring runs, see Cable Wiring Guidelines.

Note

If using the Mission Planner, many of these sensors can be set-up from the Initial Setup >> Optional Hardware screens
