ADOS Mission Control is an open-source ground control station (GCS). It runs in a Chromium browser or as a desktop app, talks to flight controllers directly over USB, Bluetooth or the network, and manages Drone Agent and Ground Agent nodes as a fleet. You use it to fly, plan missions, configure the flight controller, flash firmware and review flight logs.

Ways to run it

USB Serial and Bluetooth need Chrome or Edge, because they use the Web Serial and Web Bluetooth APIs. A demo fleet runs with no hardware at all; the full list of simulated nodes is on Dashboard and fleet.
