Overview
One app for every MAVLink UAV
Notoxytech GCS Pilot for Windows shows flight data, the map and the camera picture on one screen, and controls the vehicle, the gimbal camera and the laser rangefinder.
It runs in Microsoft Edge or Chrome on a Windows 10 / 11 laptop and connects to the drone directly: a SIYI HM30 ground unit over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, a RadioMaster Ranger / Nomad (ExpressLRS, USB or Wi-Fi), or a telemetry radio on USB.
There is no remote controller in the loop — the vehicle is flown with an Xbox, PlayStation or generic gamepad, with automatic return home 3 seconds after the gamepad is lost.
