PixRacer with Ardupilot

Posted by Randy on February 9, 2016 at 4:47pm

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).

S-bus in APM and PX4 seems to be fixed for me including dev 3.4... works fine now.

wifi and blue tooth work with PX4 but not in any of the APM copter versions I've tried. 3.3.3 3.3.4 3.4

Has anybody gotten wifi or BT working with APM copter? or 3dr radio for that matter??
