QGroundControl (QGC) is an open-source mission planning and configuration software
application for UAVs using the MAVLink Communication Protocol. QGC is well documented, and
first-time users are encouraged to review the available user guide at:
https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/en/. Training videos describing all aspects of planning and
uploading an autonomous mission are available online.
Installing QGC or MIssion Planner on a laptop is required for the LRT configuration. It is optional
for the HereLink configurations.
