VOXL Flight User Guide

Using VOXL Flight, which combines a VOXL and a Flight Core on one board.

VOXL Flight combines a VOXL companion computer and a Flight Core flight controller on one board. The VOXL side runs Linux, the cameras, and the VOXL SDK; the Flight Core side runs PX4. Most tasks are documented once, on the VOXL or Flight Core pages, and apply to VOXL Flight unchanged. This page maps them out.
