A mission planner and ground control station for INAV and MultiWii flight controllers, supporting real-time telemetry, logging, and aviation monitoring.
mwptools is an open-source mission planner and ground control station suite designed for model aircraft and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) using INAV or MultiWii flight controllers. It provides tools for planning missions, monitoring real-time telemetry, logging flight data, and analyzing terrain and line-of-sight. The project supports multiple telemetry protocols and integrates with aviation monitoring systems like ADS-B for enhanced situational awareness.
Drone pilots, UAS developers, and hobbyists who use INAV or MultiWii flight controllers and need a comprehensive, cross-platform tool for mission planning and flight monitoring.
Developers choose mwptools for its simplicity, broad protocol support, and cross-platform compatibility, offering a lightweight yet feature-rich alternative to more complex commercial ground control stations.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports multiple telemetry protocols like MSP, LTM, MAVLink, Smartport, and Crossfire, ensuring compatibility with diverse hardware from the README's listed protocols.
Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows, tested on architectures including aarch64 and riscv64, making it accessible across different operating systems as per the README.
Can replay logs from various sources such as Blackbox, OpenTX, EdgeTX, and Ardupilot, though it requires external tools from the flightlog2x project for full functionality.
Integrates ADS-B, MAVLink, and other protocols to monitor nearby aircraft, providing enhanced situational awareness for pilots, as detailed in the aviation monitoring section.
Log replay requires separate tools from the flightlog2x project, adding complexity and extra steps for users, as admitted in the README.
Primarily optimized for INAV and MultiWii, with limited support for newer flight controllers like Ardupilot, which may restrict feature sets for modern UAS projects.
Building from source involves Meson and Ninja, and migration from legacy versions has a dedicated guide, indicating potential challenges for non-technical users.
