Pixhawk and Px4Flow Line Following

Posted by Taras Wallace on January 17, 2016 at 7:52am

Hi, has anyone created code for line following using a PX4Flow and Pixhawk.  I'm looking to have a quadcopter follow a black line on a white background it gets to a red square, stops and then turns around and comes back to its original starting point.


Thanks in advance.

    Hey rick

    How did you navigate your drone? Have you worked with the marvelmind beacons as well?

    I'm trying something similar, and I'm wondering if pixhawk is the right platform.  I'm trying to build an autonomous racing drone.  I've looked at a few options, and they all lead to using a separate arduino to make it work.  I'm sure we could hack the pixhawk to do it.  My issue is with sensors.  I need a way to adjust altitude very quickly at very low altitude.  The nav part is easier.  You might want to try a pixy cam instead of PX4Flow, depending on your environment.

      Hi Rick,

      I'm currently building a system around an Parrot AR Drone it has the sensors built in and an SDK to come with it.
