ArduPilot Monthly Update for Sep 2026

partners-meeting-title-image-Sep2026
Here are the slides from the Sep 2026 monthly update presented by Tridge, Randy and NateH at this month’s ArduPilot Partners meeting.

The image on the left is of a new Mission Planner option that triggers the “Mass Storage” feature (new for 4.8) which makes the autopilot’s SD card appear as an extenral drive on your PC when connected via USB. This should make it more convenient to manipulate the autopilot’s SD card rather than relying on MAVFTP or physically ejecting the card.

The image on the right is of John Harlow’s autonomous electric mower which as far as I know is the first electric riding mower to be converted to use ArduPilot.

As always thanks to our Partners, developers, beta testers and wider community for helping with this month’s progress!
