"I have tried many times to reload the firmware following the step by step instructions but the px4 never connects to the first shot. So I guess that has something wrong and I have to return it back.

"Luigi: PX4 is still in development release and the ArduCopter software is still in beta until final release next month. But if you want to play with it now, before the public release, the correct manual page is this one. "

"Luigi: Which instructions are you using? "
Luigi commented on PX4's blog post Introducing the PX4 autopilot system"I apologize for my English. I bought PX4FMU and PX4IO, the connect via usb but to connect them with mission planner or Ground control must be a whole day. does not want to connect to the first shot. The guides are really skimpy. I'm planning to…"
titeuf007 commented on PX4's blog post Introducing the PX4 autopilot system"dear chris anderson,
this new board seem to be great but i ca say one thing which is not good..
compass is again on the main board so it s not the best to have a sensor without noisy..or you should use copper sheet to isolate it
2nd:
pins board are…"
PX4 replied to Mike Mac's discussion APM vs. PX4 – what to get?"For all interested in running APM on PX4 hardware, as announced by Andrew Tridgell its part of the official build and the APM plane / copter / rover builds for PX4 can be downloaded here (including support for PX4FMU standalone or…"
PX4 replied to Mike Mac's discussion APM vs. PX4 – what to get?"@Greg:
I think you picked up a bunch of misconceptions about PX4 on your read, you may want to look again at the full documentation of Gary, and you probably will want to look the configuration examples for different airframes, which will be a…"
PX4 replied to Mike Mac's discussion APM vs. PX4 – what to get?"Thanks Gary, this is much appreciated and of great quality.
@Greg: Can you provide a bit more detail, measurements, papers, industry standards, application notes on your connector argument?"
Quadguy commented on PX4's blog post PX4 Platform Update"Hi,
I got PX4FMU + IO kit recently. I have setup development environment following instructions on PX4 homepage and everything has gone smoothly so far.
I am trying to setup HIL for fixed wing. I am able to connect qGroundcontrol to FMU…"
Sridhar Anandakrishnan commented on PX4's blog post PX4 Platform Update"Hi - is the data format generated from the PX4FLOW documented? I would like to use just the PX4FLOW module for velocity but not integrate it with the PX4 system (use my own microcontroller). Is that possible? Thanks, Sincerely,…"
ItCanOnlyBeJared commented on PX4's blog post PX4FLOW Release"Can we expect the ability to use two of these camera systems in stereo to enhance their function?"
Gerry Lichter commented on PX4's blog post PX4FLOW Release"Just picked mine up today! Looks great.
No GPS underwater, so position and velocity are a lot harder to determine. Camera needs a pressure housing(dive light), and the ultrasonic range finder speed of sound is going to be off. But air attenuates…"
PX4 commented on PX4's blog post PX4FLOW Release"APM / ACM on PX4 will certainly get an interface to this sensor. It gives you a full 3D position over the ground plus angular speed and a full state estimate together with the autopilot sensors. Its also not just useful close to the ground, its…"
Adam Conway commented on PX4's blog post PX4FLOW Release"I was just thinking of this and I guess it would be completely possible to get roll from these sensors by watching the distortion of the image however and with a lot less noise than a IMU. the challenge is that it would be difficult to sense…"
Adam Conway commented on PX4's blog post PX4FLOW Release"based on what I have read, It measures ground movement below the quad copter, which means that if you quad is moving slow enough or the camera is going fast enough you can get accurate, relative 3 axis navigation (x, y, yaw) - the sonar gives you a…"

PX4FLOW Release
Posted on February 5, 2013 at 2:00pm 13 Comments 9 Likes
Finally the last missing board from the PX4 series has been released, the PX4FLOW smart camera module. It can replace GPS in indoor and outdoor applications and provides a metric position close to the ground with only very little drift. It is essentially a microcontroller…
Continue PX4 Flight Mode Switching / Navigation State Machine
Posted on January 26, 2013 at 4:30am 3 Comments 5 Likes
We purposefully started from scratch for the PX4 native stack flight mode switching and navigation state machine, and looked at APM/ACM, Mikrokopter, Paparazzi, Asctec, many research systems / papers and some more unlisted opn source systems (this is only for the native PX4 software stack…
Continue PX4 Platform Update
Posted on January 24, 2013 at 12:00pm 9 Comments 10 Likes
There has been recently news about uses of PX4 (APM/ACM port and James Gopperts post on state estimation control), its time to recap the platform state and to give an overview of the current roadmap. There are a few important hardware highlights:
PX4 as a platform tries to provide more robustness (on the hardware level), more flexibility and…
Continue Quick PX4 Tutorial: RC calibration with Mission Planner
Posted on August 3, 2012 at 6:04am 2 Comments 2 Likes
The next few posts in our tutorial series cover the setup of the PX4 autopilot for flight. The first step is to set up RC and telemetry. Here is a RC calibration video with Mission Planner showing the interoperability (due to MAVLink 1.0) of PX4 and APM.
The video…
