When the ight battery is connected to the aircraft, voltage of the battery and the amount of the
current, that the aircraft is drawing from the battery, are displayed in the bottom left corner.
Center of the HUD shows the horizon line and how the aircraft is oriented relative to the
ground.
The ight mode is displayed below. Above the altimeter there is a clock and a telemetry

Press Auto to resume mission.
Restart Mission
The aircraft ies to the rst waypoint and repeats the mission from there.
Land Now
The aircraft performs emergency landing immediately at its current location.
Joystick
Activates joystick conguration window where you are able to enable joystick for manual (FBW)
ight.
Message window
The place where messages from the ight computer are displayed.
Tab: Gauges
Displays a set of four ight instruments; The rate of climb or descent (VSI), Speed, Altitude and
compass.
To navigate; click + drag mouse to pan the map. Zoom by moving the zoom slider (right side of
the screen) or select the zoom level (the bottom right corner).
In the top right corner you nd the settings for the communication port, baud rate and the
Connect button. In order to establish the connection between the groundstation and the
aircraft press Connect.
Notice:
The rst time you establish the connection between the ight computer and aircraft, you need
to set the right communication port and baud rate.
Tuning
Show/hide tuning graphs.
Auto Pan
If the Auto Pan is on, the map screen will follow to aircraft duringight.
Radius
Show/hide waypoint radius.
Zoom
Actual zoom level of map area.
> Select Flight plan section (from the menubar in the top left corner) in order to create a
mission.
To navigate; click + drag mouse to pan the map. Zoom by moving the zoom slider (right side of
the screen).
In the Action menu to the right of the screen you are able to read the map coordinates (latitude,
longitude and altitude) of the mouse position and the home location.
The green pin represent your current Home location.
In the eld:
It is possible to automatically set you home location by clicking the Home Location link.
Only possible if you have connection to your aircraft with GSP x.
Congure your take-o and landing. The default parameters can be used in most cases, but
adjust if necessary.
Takeo angle
Climb angle which is maintained just after the launch (until the alt dened in Takeo to alt is
reached).
Climb parameters
The parameters in this section will dene the behavior of an aircraft while climbing to desired
altitude before starting actual mission.
NOTE:
Jump to Next action should only be used for exiting from waiting state, not for skipping way
points/actions.
Return at alt
The altitude when the decent circle is started. Mission altitude is used if check-box is ticked.
Weather information
Information about current weather conditions at ight location. Available if you are online.
Takeo commands and waypoints will now automatically be added to the map.
The course of the aircraft is now automatically plotted over the area of interest.
Notice:
The Stats window in bottom of the screen present all essential mission metrics.
NOTE:
Some of the tabs are only visible if the check-box Advanced options is ticked.
Mission conguration is now completed and the mission can be uploaded to the aircraft.
To be able to upload you mission, rst you have to establish connection to the aircraft
(via USB or telemetry radios).
For USB connection COM port: PX4 FMU and Baud rate 115200 bit/should be selected.
For Telemetry connection COM port will not be named the connection speed (Baud rate)
should be set to 57600 bit/s.
When connection is established click the Upload Mission (Write WPs) button.
