Abstract

A device can be configured to detect a physical connection with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight controller through an interface. The device can identify a UAV identifier associated with the UAV flight controller and determine, based on the UAV identifier, an application programming interface (API) for communicating with the UAV flight controller. Using the API, the device can establish a communications link with the UAV flight controller and perform an action based on the communications link.
