OSCP Motion Sensing Inc. announced on September 1, 2026, that its entire MK2 series of inertial measurement units now supports the ArduPilot autopilot software. [^1]

AlexanderRex developed PteroSim, a comprehensive test bench platform designed for simulating autonomous aerial vehicles. [^2]

In a 21-minute road test with unavailable satellite positioning, OSCP's photonics-based IMU finished 5.7 meters from ground truth, compared to 20.5 meters for a MEMS unit with the same assistance. [^3]

The MK2 IMUs connect to ArduPilot systems via standard RS-422 or CAN-FD interfaces, starting with the MK2M2 module. [^4]

PteroSim utilizes JSBSim to calculate flight dynamics and renders the resulting virtual scenes using Unreal Engine 5. [^5]

The platform functions by providing simulated sensor data to the autopilot code, which then responds with actuator commands similar to those used in real aircraft. [^6]

The PteroSim simulator is capable of running PX4, ArduPilot, and Betaflight autopilot binaries directly within the simulation environment. [^7]
