Help with VTOL on PX4 flightstack

Posted by Daniel Coo on March 31, 2016 at 11:29pm

Hi everyone, I'm new to drones but have been working with the pixhawk for a few weeks. I want to create a new airframe based on the FireFly6 model, and I've successfully changed the mixer files in this directory: Firmware/ROMFS/px4fmu_common/mixers/ so that it shows up in QGroundcontrol. I have couple questions about which files to modify next and how to test my configuration, but the first one would be - is it possible to test my custom airframe using the Software in the Loop (SITL) simulator or Gazebo? Both were listed as options on PX4's documentation website.

Best,

Dan

    Did you find an answer for this? Can you give me some advice about setting up my own VTOL mixer? I've got a quad with individual servos for each motor; I want to roll them like the Y6 and use thrust vectoring for attitude adjustment in horizontal flight mode. Any help at all would be much appreciated!
