        One could use a gaming joystick connected to QGroundControl through a laptop to fly the drone. This does not allow for the same level of precision as a typical R/C transmitter .

        Both MAVROS or MAVSDK can be used to programmatically fly the drone. This requires very advanced skill and should still be used with an R/C transmitter for safety functionality.

        Flying drones can be dangerous. Please review our article on safety and be careful!
