Vehicle Identity

A vehicle consists of multiple components: an airframe, a Skynode, a flight controller, and more. Together, these components make up the vehicle's identity.

To view component serial numbers and IDs, click the Vehicle identity icon in the vehicle header.

This will open up a window that shows all of the IDs of the components that make up the vehicle in the Suite. Each ID controls a specific component. For example, the flight controller ID is how the logs coming out of a flight controller as associated with the vehicle page in the Suite.
