Arvid Elias replied to Haygood's discussion Setting Channel assignments at Pixhawk for Spektrum DX7
"This was just one more issue I had with the Pixhawk (no sonar support, no flow sensor support, glitchy initiation, rough loiter) so I was forced to switch back to DJI + Arduino :(
I'll keep my eye on how the Pixhawk evolves and hope to retry it…"

Arvid Elias replied to Arvid Elias's discussion Optical flow sensor and Pixhawk
"The PX4Flow site have instructions for how to hook it up to a Pixhawk.
But the instructions are written for people who have a deeper level of Pixhawk knowledge than the myself.
Can someone explain how I can get to the file that needs to be edited??…"

"Thanks Gary,

I read this section before I bought it and assumed that I would be able to work out what it meant once I had the sensor and the Pixhawk:
"
Pixhawk Setup

"Thanks Glenn!
So, hooking up an Arduino to the APM (Pixhawk in my case) is best done over the telemetry port?
I guess that would work.

Let me read that back to you to see if I understood you correctly:
To tell the Pixhawk where to go I would create…"

Arvid Elias replied to Uttam pudasaini's discussion THERMAL INFRARED IMAGING USING UAV
"Check out the different versions of FLIR Tau2.
They are lightweight (130gr I think) and built for such use.

The 120 pixel version is the entry model."

Hi,What's the preferred method of interfacing the Arduino with a Pixhawk? And is there a guide out there somewhere for it?I'd like to use an Ardunio(+Pixy) to locate and move a quad copter between indoor waypoints.The only method I'm aware of is to…

"I've got the same problem.
I'm planning to use two of the servo outputs to feed into my EagleTreeSystems OSD so I really need to relocate flight mode.

Is there a way to switch the flight mode channel to 6 in the software or is it hardcoded to…"
