Pixhawk airspeed sensor, RFD900, and Mikrokopter

Posted by Rick M on January 18, 2014 at 3:36pm

Hi all. I'm trying to find cables for my new Pixhawk autopilot.I don't know why they had to go and change the connectors from the PX4. But the cable I used to have for the RFD900 is a five-conductor cable, and the telemetry ports on the Pixhawk are 6-conductor.

I'm also looking for a Pixhawk i2c (4-pin)-to-Mikrokopter (5-pin) cable. I suppose I'll have to make this.

Finally, when is the airspeed sensor here (http://pixhawk.org/modules/px4airspeed) going to be available? I couldn't find it for sale anywhere.

Thanks!

    Did you ever figure out the rfd900 cable issue to the pixhawk? Was curious cuz I got mine and realized the same issue with the 6 pins on the pixhawk.
    Thanks

      Nope. I bought the RFD900u, which comes with perfect little cables, only to realize it's a 100 mW radio, not a 1 W radio. I'll just have to make my own.

        That's to bad. Well, thanks for info. I see why no one else has gotten back to me as I assume the only fix then will be to make a cable which I was hoping to avoid being I am new to this stuff. Thanks again.
