Pixhawk vs. APM 2.6

The good news: I am a senior computer design engineer with loads of had and SW experience and have been a LOS RCer for many years.

The bad news:  I am new to FPV and UAVs.

I have been pouring over DIYDrones and 3DR sites for a few days. I am still a little confused.

What is the feature-level differences between the PixHawk and the APM 2.6?

Why should I choose one over the other?

It's fun to be here and I look forward to becoming a viable contributing member of this forum.

Thank You,

Gene .  .   .    .

  • This page may answer some, but probably not all of your questions. More details about autopilot product evolution are in the early part of the second video by Andrew Tridgell on this blog post. However while someone fixes that video... you can click the link below it to scroll through the related pdf file. And don't miss this blog post. It's worth reading the excellent documentation by Stephen Dade. You may also want to do some exploring with this page. Best wishes.

    • Thanks John,

      I'm anxious to buy one or the other and get my feet wet. But I still don't know how to choose which one I want. I have a lot to learn and this will certainly help!
