Overview

The tools for flying drones by hand and watching their state, and when to use each one.

Aerostack2 ships with tools for flying a drone by hand and for watching what it's doing. They talk to the same topics, services and behaviors as a mission, so they can run alongside one, for example to watch a mission fly or to pause it.
