Hi there! Welcome to the setup & configuration manual for your brand-new ICARUS class drone. This section talks about our Integrated Monitoring And Control Center Configuration.

< insert image of ground station >

Although it is possible to provide command and control to any ICARUS class aircraft using any standard hobby RC receiver setup, we highly recommend you follow this setup guide to make your life, and your technical director’s future life much, much easier.

Currently, the PX system supports CRSF, SBUS, and PPM. ZeroPilot will ONLY support PPM.

You should receive 2 hard-cases for your groundstation, these two boxes should contain all the necessary hardware for you to get started and get flying:

      • These should already be wired into your RFD900x, if they are not, see <Wiring the Telemetry Tower>
