Automate your Drone using VOXL and MAVSDK

Automate your Drone with VOXL+MAVSDK

Are you building the next great drone application? Our VOXL platform is open to enable OEMs and developers to build incredible new applications with drones and robots. MAVSDK is a popular tool in the PX4 flight controller ecosystem to program your drone to a broad range of tasks.

We have previously shown ROS and MAVROS as methods for controlling your VOXL-based drone, MAVSDK is another approach that allows flexibility with many programming languages. Check out our tutorials posted for C++ and Python.

VOXL MAVSDK System Architecture

The MAVSDK application runs in a Docker, locally on our VOXL Flight’s Snapdragon processor. The following diagrams our system architecture when using MAVSDK.
