Abstract

This work presents a comprehensive study of the different autopilot systems for small UAV's (fixed wing & multi rotor). The goal of this work is to provide a brief idea of the commercial available, open source, and research grade autopilot systems for convenient use for researcher purpose and for UAV users. And compared with sensor interfacing compatibility and auto takeoff/landing. The different autopilot systems (flight control board) are introduced first. Secondly, the radio control system, components used, types of PCB and GUI are explained. Programming part are then explained in brief from both the hardware and software testing/ configuration.
