Model name and serial number override
Optional.
•
Name:
vehicle.ardrone.custom.[name].system_id = [system id]
•
Name:
vehicle.ardrone.custom.[name].model_name = [model name]
•
Name:
vehicle.ardrone.custom.[name].serial_number = [serial number]

Description:
In U[g]CS each vehicle is identified by a unique combination of model name and serial number
represented as text strings. By default, Ar.Drone vehicles are identified with a model name Ar.Drone and serial
number equal with the Mavlink system id read from the vehicle. It can be overridden by these parameters,
where [name] is an arbitrary vehicle name, [system id] is the original Mavlink system id which should be
overridden, [model name] is a new model name to be visible to the U[g]CS, [serial number] is a new serial
number to be visible to the U[g]CS.
•
Example:
vehicle.ardrone.custom.my_drone.system_id = 2
vehicle.ardrone.custom.my_drone.model_name = AR.drone 2.0
vehicle.ardrone.custom.my_drone.serial_number = 123456
