dRonin is open-source autopilot/flight controller firmware for OpenPilot/Tau Labs family boards, supporting multirotors, planes, and helicopters for racing, autonomous flight, and research. It includes a ground control station, setup wizard, and autotune, and is production ready under GPLv3.

Use cases

• tune a quadcopter flight controller with autotune
• fly FPV racing drones
• run autonomous navigation missions on a UAV
• control a fixed-wing RC airplane or helicopter autopilot
• research aerial robotics and vehicle control
• flash firmware onto OpenPilot Revolution or BrainFPV boards

When to choose

• you fly multirotors, wings, or helicopters on supported OpenPilot/Tau Labs hardware
• you want easy setup with a wizard and autotune
• you need both aggressive manual flight and autonomous navigation on one airframe
• you want GPLv3 open-source flight controller software

When to avoid

• your flight controller hardware is not in the supported target list
• you need a large commercial drone ecosystem or enterprise support
• you prefer a different autopilot stack like ArduPilot or PX4 with broader hardware support
