  • Hi....you know how to use an Arduino our Stm32, ESp32 link a telemetry with Lora? Did see you any project like it to build a telemetry 915Mhz with Arduino?
  • 3D Robotics
    Yes, just send an arm command over serial from Arduino using MAVLink. Super easy:

    • I tried combining some code snippets to arm the Pixhawk. However, I am missing something. The code I am running is the code below. Can you please check it and tell me what is wrong? Thanks
