QGC and "Sprite" Drone

Hello guys,

I’m here to ask if your program is compatible (and if one of the users have practically tried it) with the “Sprite” Drone from Ascent Aerosystem (FYI https://www.ascentaerosystems.com/). I was looking for a mac-compatible Ground control station and found your wonderfully made program…

P.S.: what about the iOS version? When the app will be available?

Thank you and keep up the good work!

I think they are using APM? in that case QGC should be able to compatible with it…

I think so, but the team behind it, some time ago, told me that this program is not usable because it doesn’t have that type of system configuration (coaxial with only two blades, perhaps?). It can be an issue?

QGC is free so that means it free to try as well. I’d suggest a daily builds which is the latest version: https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/en/releases/daily_build_new_features.html. If you want iOS you’ll have to use an older stable build.

Thank you for the link, but since I’m a noob with these kind of drones (autopilot ones) I’m a little bit afraid of trying a software without explicit compatibility…

Anyway, to answer Roland question, sprite uses a pixhawk compatible controller with ardupilot software…
