Questions about LOGOS GCS and UAV control

Which drones does LOGOS GCS support? Popular

LOGOS GCS supports a wide range of unmanned aerial vehicles:

  • Ardupilot: Full control (route upload, sensor calibration, settings editing)
  • DJI: Route planning and KMZ export (Mavic 3, Matrice 3*, Phantom 4 RTK)

If you want to use GCS for drones not listed above, send a request to support with a full description of the protocol and drone model.

How do I set up an autonomous flight along a route?

Automatic flight setup is done through the route planning module:

  1. Open the "Route Planning" section
  2. Connect to the drone and make sure it is at the point from which the flight is planned
  3. Double-click to place the starting point (a takeoff point will be added along with it)
  4. On the left, in the point editing area, you can change the flight altitude and speed
  5. In the same mode, add the remaining points with altitude and speed specified
  6. Check the route for intersections with the terrain using the elevation map located along the bottom edge
  7. Click the "Save/Load mission" button in the lower right corner of the planner
  8. In the window that opens, find the "Upload to UAV" button and click it
  9. In the dialog window that opens, set the available settings and click the "Start" button
  10. After successful upload, close the windows and start control

What are the system requirements for LOGOS GCS?

LOGOS GCS works on most modern operating systems with 64-bit processor architecture

  • 64-bit computer
  • Windows / Linux / MacOS
  • .NET 8 Runtime (see installation instructions)
Does the application support video streaming from the drone?

The short answer is yes, it does. However, you need to ensure that the video stream is transmitted by the drone and received by the computer running the application. The program currently supports RTSP. The standard task for the setup is to capture video from a video modem connected to the PC and convert it to an RTSP stream. A working example is the Skydroid 5.8GHz video modem configuration connected to the PC via USB and ffmpeg, which converts the stream to RTSP. Once these conditions are met, simply add a new video stream connection and select it from the list — the program will automatically connect to it and play the stream.

Why doesn't the drone take off?

If after successful assembly you are able to connect to the drone and upload the flight mission, but it does not take off, there could be several reasons: - Make sure you have calibrated the compass and accelerometer - Make sure you have correctly set the pre-arm checks. For example, the drone will not fly if you are controlling it only from GCS (without a remote) but the arm-check specifies that a remote is required.

Why does the drone vibrate heavily during takeoff?

If you have performed compass and accelerometer calibrations, but the drone shakes heavily during takeoff, it is likely that the virtual dimensions of the drone in the default firmware parameters differ from your drone's actual dimensions. Go to the drone settings in LOGOS GCS, set the size of the propellers you are using (in inches), and save the settings. After this, the drone should take off smoothly and also perform flight missions smoothly.

Excessive vibration quickly damages motors. Try to resolve the issue as quickly as possible through settings adjustments.
How do I open 3D mode on Linux/MacOS?

3D mode is only supported by the Windows version. This limitation is due to the 3D library used for displaying the map in 3D. Unfortunately, the library developers made it non-cross-platform.

Does the program support flight missions with multiple separate routes?

Yes, it does. You need to follow these steps:

  1. Open the "Flight Mission Catalog"
  2. Click the "+ New Mission" button
  3. Open the mission for editing
  4. Enter a name and description
  5. Click the "+ Add Route" button
  6. Click on the route area to plan it in detail
  7. An area with the name and a save button will appear in the upper left corner
  8. After making changes, click the save button and the route will be saved along with the image
  9. Click on the mission name area to return to the flight mission dialog
  10. Add as many routes as needed

Questions about BOBIK construction kits

What age group is BOBIK suitable for? Popular

BOBIK is designed for different age groups:

The main limitations are the ability to read, solder, and program. If none of the above is a problem for you, you can confidently get started. If, for example, soldering is an issue, simply find someone who can help you with it or learn how to solder properly online.

Is it difficult to program the robot?

It is only difficult if you start from scratch. We've taken care of everything and written all the necessary working code, which is publicly available. Your task is simply to carefully read the instructions and follow the requirements described in them.

Can I connect additional sensors to the construction kit?

Yes, this capability is built into the ARDUINO architecture on which the robot is based. We've also anticipated this in the robot's body design — it has protrusions and holes for connecting additional sensors.
