# Automatic check
|
||||
|
||||
Before flying (especially autonomous), you can use several methods of automatic self-testing of the quadcopter subsystems.
|
||||
|
||||
## <span>selfcheck</span>.py
|
||||
|
||||
Utility `selfcheck.py` is part of `clever` package, and automatically tests the main aspects of the ROS platform and the PX4. The utility is pre-installed on [the Raspberry Pi image](microsd_images.md).
|
||||
|
||||
To initiate it, type in [the Raspberry Pi console](ssh.md):
|
||||
|
||||
```(bash)
|
||||
rosrun clever selfcheck.py
|
||||
```
|
||||

Description of some checks:
|
||||
|
||||
* FCU – checking proper connection with the flight controller;
|
||||
* IMU – checking correctness of the data from IMU;
|
||||
* Local position – presence of the local position of the drone;
|
||||
* Velocity estimation – drone velocity estimation (**if this check fails, never take off offline!**);
|
||||
* Global position (GPS) — presence of the global position (GPS required);
|
||||
* Camera — proper operation of the Raspberry camera.

||||
## commander check
|
||||
|
||||
To check the main sub systems of PX4 and the possibility of arming at the moment, you can perform command `commander check` in the MAVLink console.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
When using SITL instead of the MAVLink console, use a terminal with SITL running.
