To configure the 1x Ground unit, the user must download the Veronte Ground template available in the 1x PDI Builder software. To do so, follow the steps below:

  1. Connect the Autopilot 1x to be configured as Veronte Ground to the PC, in this case, the connection is made via USB. Users can refer to the Basic connection for operation - Quick Start section of the 1x Hardware Manual for instructions on how to make this connection.

  2. Check in Veronte Link that the Autopilot 1x is in ready status.

    Important

    In order to save the configuration, Veronte Autopilot 1x must enter in maintenance mode. Then, after saving any changes, Autopilot 1x will RESET and 1x PDI Builder software will consequently close.

    For more information on this, visit the Configuration section of the 1x PDI Builder user manual.

Once the Veronte Ground template has been downloaded and uploaded into the Autopilot 1x, follow the steps in the next section, Air-GCS connection, to set up the connection between GCS and the on-board Autopilot 1x.
