Mission Planner is the primary open-source ground control station (GCS) for ArduPilot autopilots, written in C#/.NET. It provides point-and-click mission planning on maps, live vehicle telemetry and configuration, log analysis, and software-in-the-loop simulation for ArduPilot vehicles.
Use cases
- plan drone waypoint missions on a map
- configure and tune an ArduPilot flight controller
- monitor live UAV telemetry during flight
- analyze flight logs after a mission
- run a software-in-the-loop drone simulator
- download firmware to a Pixhawk flight controller
When to choose
- you fly ArduPilot vehicles (Copter, Plane, Rover, Sub, etc.) on Windows or Android
- you need full-featured mission planning, setup, and log analysis in one free tool
- you want SITL simulation for ArduPilot
When to avoid
- you need a first-class native Linux or macOS build (only Mono/unsupported)
- you use non-MAVLink autopilots like PX4 exclusively and prefer QGroundControl
- you need a headless/scriptable GCS (consider MAVProxy instead)
