Quick Start

4x PDI Builder is the main configuration tool to adapt an Arbiter for a specific system, being its main function to decide which Autopilot 1x controls the vehicle at every moment. 4x PDI Builder includes:

  • Communications: through general purpose CAN bus, RS-232, RS-485 and GPIOs.

  • Arbitration criterion: the Arbiter decides which Autopilot 1x controls the vehicle according to the criterion decided by the user.

All Veronte devices, including the Arbiter, are configured with PDI files.

Download

Once the Veronte Autopilot 4x has been purchased, a GitHub release should be created for the customer with the application. To access to the release and download the software, read the Releases section of the Joint Collaboration Framework manual.
