ADOS is built by a small team and a community of drone builders, pilots, researchers and developers. Here is where to find us.

​
Discord

Discord is the main place for day-to-day conversation: quick questions, debugging help, feature discussion and sharing builds. Extension authors have their own channel. discord.gg/uxbvuD4d5q

​
GitHub

Each repository has its own issue tracker. Open an issue in the repository the problem affects: A useful bug report includes:
  1. What you expected to happen
  2. What happened, with exact error messages, screenshots or logs
  3. Numbered steps to reproduce
  4. Your environment: OS, browser, flight controller firmware, agent version and board
“It doesn’t work” is hard to act on. “Arming ArduPilot Copter over WebSerial in Chrome shows PreArm: Need 3D Fix with 12 satellites in view” is something we can fix. To send code, read Contributing first.

Where to ask what

​
Getting help quickly

The more specific you are, the faster someone can help. Good question:
I installed the Drone Agent on a Raspberry Pi 4B running Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit. ados status shows ados-mavlink failed. The flight controller is connected over USB. Here is the output of journalctl -u ados-mavlink -n 30.
Hard to answer:
The agent doesn’t work. Help?
Include what you tried, the exact errors, your hardware (board, flight controller, camera, radio), software versions (ados status --json, browser and firmware versions) and relevant logs. For a structured path through common faults, see Troubleshooting.

Stay updated

  • GitHub releases. On each repository choose Watch, then Custom, then Releases to be notified of new versions. Release notes describe what changed.
  • YouTube. Technical videos at @altnautica.
  • LinkedIn. Release highlights at linkedin.com/company/altnautica.

​
Community guidelines

  1. Be respectful. No personal attacks and no gatekeeping.
  2. Be specific. Include context with every question.
  3. Search first. The docs, GitHub issues and Discord history may already have the answer.
  4. Share back. If you solve something, post the solution for the next person.
  5. Stay on topic. No spam or self-promotion unrelated to drones or ADOS.
