Julian Oes 6977fd9956 ROMFS: initial quadtailsitter tuning
This is now using the advanced lift drag plugin.

The important step was to enable airmode for yaw, otherwise yaw gets
saturated at low throttle and we can barely roll.

The other trick was to raise airspeed a little bit to avoid operating
too much at the lower end of throttle where control authority is low.

PX4 Drone Autopilot

Releases DOI

Nuttx Targets SITL Tests

Discord Shield

This repository holds the PX4 flight control solution for drones, with the main applications located in the src/modules directory. It also contains the PX4 Drone Middleware Platform, which provides drivers and middleware to run drones.

PX4 is highly portable, OS-independent and supports Linux, NuttX and MacOS out of the box.

Building a PX4 based drone, rover, boat or robot

The PX4 User Guide explains how to assemble supported vehicles and fly drones with PX4. See the forum and chat if you need help!

Changing code and contributing

This Developer Guide is for software developers who want to modify the flight stack and middleware (e.g. to add new flight modes), hardware integrators who want to support new flight controller boards and peripherals, and anyone who wants to get PX4 working on a new (unsupported) airframe/vehicle.

Developers should read the Guide for Contributions. See the forum and chat if you need help!

Weekly Dev Call

The PX4 Dev Team syncs up on a weekly dev call.

Note The dev call is open to all interested developers (not just the core dev team). This is a great opportunity to meet the team and contribute to the ongoing development of the platform. It includes a QA session for newcomers. All regular calls are listed in the Dronecode calendar.

For the most up to date information, please visit PX4 user Guide > Autopilot Hardware.

Pixhawk Standard Boards

These boards fully comply with Pixhawk Standard, and are maintained by the PX4-Autopilot maintainers and Dronecode team

Manufacturer supported

These boards are maintained to be compatible with PX4-Autopilot by the Manufacturers.

Community supported

These boards don't fully comply industry standards, and thus is solely maintained by the PX4 publc community members.

Experimental

These boards are nor maintained by PX4 team nor Manufacturer, and is not guaranteed to be compatible with up to date PX4 releases.
