Mission Control settings

Settings hold Mission Control’s own preferences, separate from each node’s configuration (for that, see Node configuration). Open them with the gear in the top bar. Settings are stored in this browser; signed in, your preferences also sync to your account.

Pages

The GCS Settings navigation lists ten pages:

​

General

Jurisdictions: The registration label appears on the drone’s Flight tab info card. Language: choose from 16 languages: English, Hindi, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish. The interface switches without a reload. About (desktop app only): Check for updates asks GitHub for a newer release now, instead of waiting for the next start. See Desktop app updates.

​

Operator & Aircraft

Registries used for compliance exports and for the pilot, aircraft and loadout snapshot saved with each flight:

• Pilot, Organisation, Insurance and Defaults (default jurisdiction).
• Aircraft: name, registration, manufacturer, model, serial and Remote ID serial, vehicle type, category, maximum take-off mass, airworthiness and maintenance dates.
• Batteries: label, serial, chemistry, cell count, capacity, C rating and cycles. Retire or delete a pack.
• Equipment: propeller, motor and ESC sets, cameras, gimbals, payloads, frames and RC transmitters, with hours and flights. Mark an item inspected or retire it.

The battery and equipment you pick under Loadout on the Flight tab come from these registries.

​

Input Devices

The page title is Controllers.

• Devices (with an agent connected): controllers attached to the ground station agent. Scan Bluetooth pairs a new one; Set as primary picks the controller that sends sticks.
• Paired Bluetooth devices: Forget removes one.
• Browser Input: controllers attached to this browser through the Web Gamepad API. Turn Stick control on, run Calibrate, choose the Stick mode (Mode 2, throttle on the left stick, by default; or Mode 1), and tune Deadzone and Expo Curve.
• Skill & Keyboard Bindings: loadout presets and the key and gamepad button for each Skill slot.

How stick control is gated and what the default bindings are: Cockpit and Skills.

​

DroneCAN

CAN Configuration for the connected flight controller:

• Bus setup: CAN1, CAN2 and SLCAN passthrough, with Save to FC, Write to flash, Reload from FC and Reboot FC.
• Node browser: detected DroneCAN nodes.
• Per-node params: read and write a node’s parameters.
• Bus monitor: raw MAVLink frames and decoded DroneCAN transfers.
• Diagnostics: bus diagnostics.
• Test utilities: node ping, manual frame inject, node-ID conflict scanner, ESC sweep, GPS fix snapshot and compass stream.

With no drone selected, the page asks you to connect a flight controller. Flash firmware to a CAN node from the Flash Tool.

Flash Tool and Extensions

• Flash Tool opens the firmware flasher. See Flash Tool.
• Extensions is a read-only overview of what is installed across the fleet, grouped per node, plus the registry browser. Installs happen per node from the node’s Agent → Extensions page. An extension’s detail page shows a Failure reason field when a LAN-paired node has stopped or refused it. See Install extensions from Mission Control.

The Parameters tab has its own column settings; see Parameters.
