INAV is open-source navigation-enabled flight controller firmware for drones, planes, and other RC aircraft. It provides autopilot features such as waypoint navigation, position hold, and return-to-home on a wide range of flight controller hardware.
Use cases
- fly autonomous waypoint missions with an fpv drone
- add return-to-home and position hold to a quadcopter
- configure autopilot firmware for an rc airplane
- navigate without a compass using gps
- set up a flight controller with rangefinders and pitot tubes
- flash open source firmware on a multirotor flight controller
When to choose
- you need GPS navigation, waypoints, or RTH on an FPV drone or RC plane
- you fly fixed-wing or multirotor aircraft and want active open-source firmware
- you want support for many flight controller boards and peripherals like optical flow and pitot tubes
When to avoid
- you fly racing quads and want the most minimal, latency-focused firmware (Betaflight may fit better)
- you need advanced aerial-vehicle autonomy like terrain following or computer-vision navigation (Ardupilot may fit better)
- your board uses an STM32 F411 MCU, which is no longer supported in recent releases
