Awesome RC and UAV tools

A collection of useful and free tools for designing, building and testing autonomous vehicles, including documentation. This list was created during my project Project Duck.


Design

  • Fusion360 - a cloud-based 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, and PCB software platform for product design and manufacturing. It provides a free non-commercial license.
  • Ultimaker Cura - slicer for Ender pro 3d printer

Hardware

Controller

  • Navio2 - Autopilot HAT for Raspberry Pi running ArduPilot and ROS.
  • Mateksys - Ardupilot compatible flight controllers

Software

Protocols and tools

  • MAVLink - MAVLink or Micro Air Vehicle Link is a protocol for communicating with small unmanned vehicle. It is designed as a header-only message marshaling library.
  • ROS - a set of software libraries and tools that help you build robot applications. From drivers to state-of-the-art algorithms, and with powerful developer tools, ROS has what you need for your next robotics project. And it's all open source.
  • OpenTX - open source firmware for RC radio transmitters
  • ExpressLRS - an open source Radio Link for Radio Control applications

Groundstation and Simulation

  • Mission planner - software to control ardupilot, including tracking, planning and configuration remotely
  • QGroundControl - Intuitive and Powerful Ground Control Station for the MAVLink protocol.
  • Open Rocket - Plan, simulate and fly rockets

Vehicle

  • Ardupilot - open source autopilot system supporting many vehicle types.

Youtube Channels

  • RCTestflight - Experimental (autonomous) vehicles
  • ProjectAir - Experimental vehicles (sometimes rocket powered...)
  • RcLifeOn - Large scale projects
  • Flitetest - RC channel that focuses more on models and fun projects than on engineering.
  • BPS Space - Nice rocket projects
  • Stuff made here - not really RC, but nice engineering channel

Documentation

  • Docusaurus - Simple docs tool, written in react to document your projects.
