Universal Design of UAV Ground Control Station Based on VB

Currently common used ground control station being target and versatility,which can only be used in conjunction with supporting autopilot instead of a variety of different types of autopilots,to some extent,its use range is limited. To solve this problem, this paper first analyzes two typical ground control stations'communication protocol and points out the differences between each other, and then universal design of the ground control station adopted by the autopilot instrument model and communication protocol format based on the Visual Basic development platform. moreover,the actual flow chart and data receive,instruction upload process and methods are given together. Engineering practice results show that the two methods can achieve UAV ground stations universal.
