What's Next?¶
You've flown the stack — here's where to go next, organized by what you're trying to do. The docs are arranged in four kinds: Tutorials (guided lessons), How-to Guides (task recipes), Reference (look-up tables and specs), and Concepts (how and why the system is built this way).
Continue learning¶
The tutorial sequence, in order:
- Fly a Mission from the GCS — take off, place waypoints, run a Navigate task, land, save your mission.
- Change a Parameter — the edit → relaunch → observe development loop in ten minutes.
- Modular AirStack Walkthrough — fly a reference stack, read its wiring, add a module, make your own stack, launch a fleet.
- Write Your First Module — scaffold a module, implement a node, wire it into your own stack, see it in the wiring.
- Your First Fleet — a two-robot fleet file, both drones in Foxglove, tasks to each.
- Build and Fly Your Own Scene — author a stage, register it in the scene catalog, fly it.
- Deploy to Hardware — from bench-ready Jetson to first-flight checks.
