  Hello! I am building a Tarot 650 Sport quad and wanted to use an APM F.C. but have been unable to successfullyl calibrate the compass. So I bought a Pixhawk 2.4.8 but when I plug it into two separate computers I get the same error: "USB device not recognized" The same error occurrs on my Windows 10 desktop and Windows 11 laptop. Has anyone else seen a problem like this?

  Hello, I have a Pixhawk1 version 2.4.8, I have an issue on reading the Board Voltage, it is 4.2 to 4.3 volts, if I measure on te power connector I read with the multimeter 5V. The unit is new with latest software 4.2.0.
  There is some parameter to tune this value ?

  Hello, total noob looking for help after online searches failed to resolve my problem. I have a 450 frame with a pixhawk 2.4.8. I can't arm. Mavlink console after "commander check" returns "GPS error". I am in manual flight mode ( GPS not required ) and I believe I have GPS not locked as a pre arm condition disabled. I don't know how to get more information about what the actual GPS error is or how to fix it. Anyone have any ideas?

  Hello,
  
  I have a quadcopter with:
  
  2 Lipo 6s ()
  4 ESC Monster 2000 ()
  4 motors rotomax 80cc ()
  4 propellers
  
  But when i arm ans start motors, one motor stop spin when i pull thé throttle to max.
  The total weigt of the quad copter is 60kg. The drone dors noté take off even i pull throttle, Elevetor toi max.
  
  What Can tout advice me :
  Change ESC to 14S?
  Change the 2 Lipo 6s with a 14s battery?
  Change propellers with bigger propellers ?
  What else?
  
  Best regards

  Hi everyone !!
  I have question. How can I send pixhawk location to raspi 4. I research this subject on the net and when I see it I have to use dronekit software. Does anyone want to provide additional information?
  Note: I will be happy if you would like to share website to search extra
  Thanks all of you !!

  Hey!
  I have an octocopter with a 20A ESC and a 10000mAh, 10C, 4S multistar battery. The battery I had has been damaged and I can not find a battery with the same (or similar) specifications. I would like to know if it is possible to buy a battery with different specifications, as I understand; the battery I had, provided 10Ah * 10C = 100A / 8 = 12.5A to each servo, which is correct due to the 20A specification from ESC's. So my question is if I could replace the battery with a 5000mAh, 20C and 4S battery?
  I hope you can help me, I am new about it.
  Thanks!

  Hiiii
  
  How to send additional analog sensor information from Arduino to Pixhawk?
  
  What is the best way to do it? Can anyone guide me on how I view sensor data on the mission planner?
  I can measure analog sensor data in Arduino now i want to transfer this information to pixhawk.
  
  All the Best

    As a noob with a PixHawk 2.4.8, I would try using a free serial port first. My familiarity with Arduinos makes me lean toward serial interface.
    I understand "companion computers" connect to the USB port, the one located below the TELEM2 port
    Setting that up involves lots of details about communications protocols.
    
    You can find lots of info about this in the PixHawk documentation available online.
    
    Relaying data to Ground Control Software, you must arrange getting it transmitted via a Telemetry Transmitter (Radio) onboard the craft
    to a Telemetry Receiver plugged into the device running the GCS.
    
    My PixHawk starter kit came with 915MHz Telemetry Transmitter (aircraft) and Receiver (ground) radios.
    AKA Sik Radios, so named for the Sik firmware they are flashed with.
    
    I'm sure there must be a way to get your sensor data transmitted along with the rest.
    
    You could alternately set up the Arduino with an ESP8266 addon shield, flashed with MAVLink firmware for an extra Telemetry channel on 2.4 GHz (sorta like WiFi)?
    And of course make sure your GCS software runs on some device that has WiFi capablility. Perhaps it's running on an Android tablet?
    
    There should be enough keywords in this post to help you search for relevant information. RTFM = Read The Fricken Manual Good luck :)
