Generators

ArduPilot supports generators for powering your vehicle. Some generators can be controlled from ArduPilot, others are telemetry only. Within ArduPilot the term generator is used to broadly group all devices that convert some form of fuel into electrical power.

Note

unless added via a custom build (see ArduPilot Custom Firmware Builder), this feature is not included in standard firmware for autopilots having less than 2MB of flash.

The following are all currently supported within ArduPilot:

• Currawong CORTEX Generator
• Intelligent Energy 650W/800W Hydrogen Fuel Cell
• Intelligent Energy 2.4kW Hydrogen Fuel Cell
• RichenPower generator
• Shang Fei Aviation
• Loweheiser generator

Note

Shang Fei generator uses a LUA script driver here
