What is ArduPilot meant for?
ArduPilot is an open source, unmanned vehicle Autopilot Software Suite, capable of controlling autonomous: Multirotor drones. Fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft. Helicopters.
What does a Pixhawk do?
Sensors. PX4 uses sensors to determine vehicle state (needed for stabilization and to enable autonomous control). The system minimally requires a gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer (compass) and barometer. A GPS or other positioning system is needed to enable all automatic modes, and some assisted modes.
How do I make an Arduino flight controller?
Multiwii flight controller with PPM sum. To program our code we have two options. One is to create the entire code for the Arduino and create a PID control with the data from the IMU and the receiver and control the drone. The other option is to use an already tested code.
How do I download ArduPilot firmware?
