PixHawk 2.1 with Arduino and other sensors

Hello,

I'm a newbie to the UAV's and i'm stuck with how to use a sensor with PixHawk.

I'm trying to use a flux sensor that is going to work associated with PixHawk and Here GPS module.

I want a water flux to be measured by the sensor and sent to PixHawk to comand a pump that wil increase or decrease the pumping power acording to the ground speed given by the Here GNSS module.

The thing is, as far as I know PixHawk is not directly compatible with the sensor (link below).

I heard that I could use a Arduino do decode the sensors measurement and send the data to PixHawk, but will that came only with the value on the display or can I set PixHawk to use this value as a parameter to comand a pump.

Thanks a lot!

  • I couldn't test it yet because I haven't received PixHawk yet and have never used it before.
