<h2>Safety</h2> |
|
|
|
|
|
Operating a powered vehicle of any kind can be a lot of fun. However, |
|
|
nothing will ruin your day at the park more quickly than an accident |
|
|
or running afoul of the law. Since we want you to have a great |
|
|
experience, please make sure that you do all of the following: |
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
<li><b>Operate within all local laws and regulations</b>. For |
|
|
example, in the United States, current regulations require you to |
|
|
operate most UAVs under 400 foot above ground level, within line of |
|
|
site, and away from obstructions and populated areas. Since these |
|
|
regulations vary from place to place, even within the same country, |
|
|
ensure that you understand what you need to do to stay compliant.</li> |
|
|
|
|
|
<li><b>Never operate the vehicle or software in a way that could be |
|
|
dangerous to you, other people, or property</b>. Propellers, while |
|
|
rotating, could easily cut you; if a UAV fell on a person or object, |
|
|
it could cause a lot of pain and damage; a UAV caught in power lines |
|
|
could cause an outage for many people. As Ben Franklin said, "An |
|
|
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."</li> |
|
|
|
|
|
<li><b>Always keep in mind that software and hardware failures |
|
|
happen</b>. Although we design our products to minimize such issues, |
|
|
you should always operate with the understanding that a failure could |
|
|
occur at any point of time and without warning. As such, you should |
|
|
take the appropriate precautions to minimize danger in case of |
|
|
failure.</li> |
|
|
|
|
|
<li><b>Never use the software or hardware for manned vehicles</b>. |
|
|
The software and hardware we provide is only for use in unmanned |
|
|
vehicles.</li> |
|
|
</ul> |

<h2>Types of firmware available</h2> |
|
|
|
|
|
To choose a firmware to download you need to choose: |
|
|
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
<li>The type of board that you have</li> |
|
|
<li>Whether you want the stable, beta or latest version of the |
|
|
firmware</li> |
|
|
<li>Whether you want a HIL (hardware in the loop) image</li> |
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
The meanings of the versions are |
|
|
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
<li><b>stable</b> - this is the version recommended for new users. It |
|
|
has had the most testing</li> |
|
|
<li><b>beta</b> - this is the firmware to choose if you want to be |
|
|
part of beta testing of new versions prior to release as a stable |
|
|
version. Note that during some development times the beta release |
|
|
will be the same as the stable release</li> |
|
|
<li><b>latest</b> - this is the latest version from our <a href="http://github.com/ArduPilot">git source |
|
|
code repository</a>. This version is only for developers. The code |
|
|
may have unknown bugs and extreme care should be taken by anyone |
|
|
using it</li> |
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
For each vehicle type a firmware image is available for each type of |
|
|
autopilot board supported by that vehicle type |
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Load your firmware using Mission Planner</h2> |
|
|
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
<li>You can load the <b>stable</b> version of the firmware by selecting the appropriate icon for your airframe from the Firmware Tab.</li> |
|
|
<li>You can load the <b>beta</b> version of the firmware by selecting the "BETA firmware" button in the bottom right corner of the screen and then the appropriate icon.</li> |
|
|
<li>You can load the <b>latest</b> version of the firmware by downloading a firmware image from one of the links and selecting the "Load custom firmware" button in |

<h2>Loading firmware on Linux or MacOS</h2> |
|
|
|

|
|
use |
|
|
the <a href="https://raw.github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/master/Tools/scripts/uploader.py">uploader.py</a> |
|
|

|
<pre> |
|
|
python Tools/scripts/uploader.py --port /dev/ttyACM0 build/fmuv4/bin/arducopter.apj |
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
|
|
After starting the script, press the reset button on your device to |
|
|
make it enter bootloader mode. |
