Ground Station software, used for programming or monitoring vehicle operation, is available for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android. ArduPilot runs on a wide variety of hardware platforms, including the following, listed in alphabetical order: Intel Aero (Linux or STM32 Base) APM 2.

The flight controller (a.k.a FC) is the brain of the aircraft. It’s a circuit board with a range of sensors that detect movement of the drone, as well as user commands. Using this data, it then controls the speed of the motors to make the craft move as instructed.

Generally, Each flight controller comes with four micro controllers. STM Electronics Company builds these controllers. Most of them come with the 32bit version. Below are the four versions of CPUs that you would be getting by this company. STM32F1 CPU: This is the first generation of micro controller comes with 32bit and also known as F1.

Nearly all flight controllers have basic sensors such as Gyro (Gyroscopes) and Acc (Accelerometer). Some FC include more advanced sensors such as Barometer (barometric pressure sensors) and magnetometer (compass). The FC is also a hub for other peripherals, such as GPS, LED, Sonar sensor etc.
