# Introduction

AeroBridge is a universal CAN-based module that converts legacy UAV and robotic interfaces—like PWM, UART, I²C, SPI, and GPIO—into DroneCAN-compatible nodes. It enables plug-and-play integration of servos, ESCs, GPS modules, telemetry radios, sensors, and other peripherals into modern DroneCAN-based autopilot systems.

Built on ArduPilot ap\_periph and PX4 DroneCAN open-source firmware, AeroBridge is designed and manufactured in India to meet the growing demands of scalable, noise-resilient drone architectures.
