Some part of the code is already available as modules. Some other parts could be easily adapted. A module may have several configuration files for the most common uses. The code of the modules is placed in sw/airborne/modules/<directory name>.
The auto-generated list and short doc for all modules in the master branch can be found at the onboard modules page of the doxygen docs.
