I have been following the usual steps for configuring Pixhawk for a quadcopter. I have tried both QGroundControl and MissionPlanner with both ArduCopter 3.3. and PX4 flight stacks. I don't have the ESCs connected but instead I am monitoring the PWM…

"Hi, I have some more experience now and will try to answer these myself. My answers might be wrong though...

I know this is a stupid question, but how can I switch off Pixhawk's buzzer or at least turn it down. It is compulsory for the board, but I am doing a lot of testing that requires plugging/unplugging. It beeps anytime I power the pixhawk and drives…
