<h2>Safety</h2>
|
||
|
||
Operating a powered vehicle of any kind can be a lot of fun. However,
|
||
nothing will ruin your day at the park more quickly than an accident
|
||
or running afoul of the law. Since we want you to have a great
|
||
experience, please make sure that you do all of the following:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><b>Operate within all local laws and regulations</b>. For
|
||
example, in the United States, current regulations require you to
|
||
operate most UAVs under 400 foot above ground level, within line of
|
||
sight, and away from obstructions and populated areas. Since these
|
||
regulations vary from place to place, even within the same country,
|
||
ensure that you understand what you need to do to stay compliant.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li><b>Never operate the vehicle or software in a way that could be
|
||
dangerous to you, other people, or property</b>. Propellers, while
|
||
rotating, could easily cut you; if a UAV fell on a person or object,
|
||
it could cause a lot of pain and damage; a UAV caught in power lines
|
||
could cause an outage for many people. As Ben Franklin said, "An
|
||
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."</li>
|
||
|
||
<li><b>Always keep in mind that software and hardware failures
|
||
happen</b>. Although we design our products to minimize such issues,
|
||
you should always operate with the understanding that a failure could
|
||
occur at any point of time and without warning. As such, you should
|
||
take the appropriate precautions to minimize danger in case of
|
||
failure.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li><b>Never use the software or hardware for manned vehicles</b>.
|
||
The software and hardware we provide is only for use in unmanned
|
||
vehicles.</li>
|
||
</ul>

<h2>Types of firmware available</h2>
|
||
|
||
To choose a firmware to download you need to choose:
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The type of board that you have</li>
|
||
<li>Whether you want the stable, beta or latest version of the
|
||
firmware</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
The meanings of the versions are
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><b>stable</b> - this is the version recommended for new users. It
|
||
has had the most testing.</li>
|
||
<li><b>beta</b> - this is the firmware to choose if you want to be
|
||
part of beta testing of new versions prior to release as a stable
|
||
version. Note that during some development times the beta release
|
||
will be the same as the stable release.</li>
|
||
<li><b>latest</b> - this is the latest version from our <a href="http://github.com/ArduPilot">git source
|
||
code repository</a>. This version is only for developers. The code
|
||
may have unknown bugs and extreme care should be taken by anyone
|
||
using it.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
For each vehicle type a firmware image is available for each type of
|
||
autopilot board supported by that vehicle type.
|
||
|
||
<h2>Load your firmware using Mission Planner</h2>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>You can load the <b>stable</b> version of the firmware by selecting the appropriate icon for your airframe from the Firmware Tab.</li>
|
||
<li>You can load the <b>beta</b> version of the firmware by selecting the "BETA firmware" button in the bottom right corner of the screen and then the appropriate icon.</li>
|
||
<li>You can load the <b>latest</b> version of the firmware by downloading a firmware image from one of the links and selecting the "Load custom firmware" button in

||
the bottom right corner of the screen.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Loading firmware on Linux or MacOS</h2>
|
||
|
||
To load a firmware on a Linux or MacOS machine you will need to
|
||
use
|
||
the <a href="https://raw.github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/master/Tools/scripts/uploader.py">uploader.py</a>
|
||
python script. You can run it like this:
|
||
|
||
<pre>
|
||
python Tools/scripts/uploader.py --port /dev/ttyACM0 build/Pixracer/bin/arducopter.apj
|
||
</pre>
|
||
|
||
After starting the script, press the reset button on your device to
|
||
make it enter bootloader mode.
|
||
|
||
