i am currently evaluating the pros and cons of replacing an Autoquad (AQ) FC with a Pixhawk FC in a existing AQ-quadrocopter system (FC, ESC, etc.). The reason for this is the unavailability of the AQ FC, since they stopped the production

Hello guys,
I'm working on a project in which I want my PX4 to read data from an esp8826 (specifically - RSSI values from nearby APs). I've seen the esp8826 can be used to as a telemetry device - but this does not do the trick for me.
I would like to b
