Autopilot Health Check

CHF 490fixed

An independent read of what your vehicle is actually doing, from its own logs, before it does it somewhere expensive.

You send

  • Logs from a couple of flights or drives
  • A parameter/URDF file and a short description of the vehicle

You get

  • Written report: vibration and clipping, EKF health and lane switches, GNSS and RTK quality, power, control-loop response, failsafe configuration
  • A prioritised fix list with the parameter changes spelled out
  • A 30-minute call to go through it
Book a Health Check

If the fault is in the hardware rather than the configuration, the report says so and says which part.

Remote commissioning · 1–2 weeks

RTK Ready

from CHF 1,500+ hardware

Centimetre positioning that is configured, commissioned and proven in your field, not just switched on.

Included

  • Base station configured for survey-in or a known point, with an NTRIP caster for your fleet
  • Rover receiver and autopilot configured for corrections over telemetry or NTRIP
  • Remote commissioning session with your operator on site
  • Acceptance test: logged RTK-fixed operation with the 95% position error reported

Hardware at catalogue price through HeliEngadin, or your own receivers if they are on our tested list.

Remote or on site · 1 week

Tuning Sprint

from CHF 4,800fixed per vehicle

Measured, not guessed: the airframe is identified first and the control loops are built around what it really does.

Included

  • System identification flights and analysis
  • Harmonic notch, rate, attitude and position loop tuning
  • The usable envelope documented, with its margins
  • Tuned parameters, identification data and the reasoning, so your team can re-tune variants
Plan a Tuning Sprint

Remote: your pilot flies, we direct and analyse live. On site: travel at cost.

Fixed scope · 2 weeks

Integration Stint

from CHF 8,000per scoped item

One piece of the integration gap, closed properly: the part that two datasheets disagree about, or that doesn't even have one.

One of

  • A Linux driver for a part that shipped without one
  • A custom ROS 2 node or DDS bridge
  • A DroneCAN, MAVLink or serial protocol bridge between buses that were never meant to meet
  • Companion computer bring-up on ARM or NVIDIA

Delivered

  • Source in your repository, with tests, documentation and a handover session
Scope an Integration Stint

Scope is agreed in writing after a free scoping call. If we do not think it fits in two weeks, we say so.

Ongoing · monthly

Fork Care

from CHF 700/ month

Your software fork kept on current upstream, so your changes survive every release instead of freezing you on an old one.

Included

  • Rebase onto each upstream stable release, conflicts resolved and flight-tested in simulation
  • CI builds for every board you ship, with release notes
  • Safety and bug fixes backported between releases
  • Priority response when something in the field looks wrong
Talk about Fork Care

Three-month minimum, then monthly. Every build traceable to the exact commit it runs.

Buying the hardware from our catalogue?

Add configuration and bench setup to any autopilot, receiver or radio order from the HeliEngadin shop. It arrives with the firmware flashed, the parameters set for your airframe and a test report in the box.

How the fixed price works

What does “fixed” cover?

Everything in the written scope. If we find something outside it, we tell you what it is and what it would cost, and you decide. The original price does not move.

How do we pay?

The Health Check is paid when you book. Targeted work is invoiced half at the start and half on delivery; Fork Care monthly in advance. Prices in CHF, excluding VAT; EUR on request.

Our logs and code are confidential.

They stay that way. We sign your NDA or ours before anything is sent, and nothing you share is used for any other customer.

Our project does not fit a package.

Most projects do not. The packages are the common cases; for development programmes, OEM supply and anything flight-critical at scale, start a conversation instead.

Not sure which one you need?

Send the logs. The Health Check will tell you, and its fee comes off whatever follows.
