This is a discussion to focus the feedback and support of ardupilot on the PixRacer board from AUAV.co.
We believe that all teething problems encountered are now resolved and so we recommend people load Copter-3.3.4 which is available for all multicopters through the Mission Planner's (and other GCS's) Install Firmware screens. Note that because regular Pixhawks are still on Copter-3.3.3 the install icon may show Copter-3.3.3 but rest assured, Copter-3.3.4 will be installed (you can check the version by looking at the very top of the Mission Planner).

Thanks Otto
I know about PixRacer GPS port pinouts. I made a special cable for Pixracer GPS Port, so I can connect GPS and PX4FLOW module. I tried connect i2c external led. It's work fine. I think cable don't have any problem.
Can I use nsh mode to get list of connected i2c devices?
@Denis,
The description (5V,SCL,SDA,GND) ist a I2C Port on Pixhawk 4 pins, The GPS is connected to a serial Port (RX,TX) on Pixhawk or Pixracer 6 pins. On Pixracer the GPS Port is combined with RX/TX and SCL,SDA on a 6 pin connector.

Thanks Marcell
Today I tried connect PX4FLOW to a GPS port (5V, SCL, SDA, GND)
I use this manual: http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-px4flow-overview.html?highl...
Parameters:
FLOW_ENABLE = 1
LOG_BITMASK = 131071
My problem is that dataflash logs not contained OF message’s
Hi Denis,
By the release notes, it should work, at least on an experimental level.
See https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/master/ArduCopter/Relea...
I wish i could answer this question based on practical experience with px4flow ;)

Can I use PX4FLOW with a PixRacer(AC3.3.4)?
When I'm setting HIL_mode to 1 and restart my Pixracer, my radio is not recognized anymore?!?
Wow, thank you very much! Excactly what I was looking for. :)
@Tobias,
Pixracer is a FMUv4 board, so you need "make px4-v4" instead.
Note that you don't need a special firmware for HIL in plane, just set the HIL_MODE parameter to 1 in a normal firmware.
Also, HIL isn't really very good for simulation, SITL is much better. For planes you may like to look at a posting I did recently on using SITL with X-Plane 10:

Cheers, Tridge
Hi, what command do I need to make a firmware for Pixracer? With make px4-v2 and trying to write the firmware to the Pixracer, MP tells me, an Error: Firmware not suitable for this board.
In fact, I'm trying to make a HIL-firmware to play a bit around with missions, without risking my plane or copter. :)
Kind regards
Tobias
