3DR Pixhawk

GPS · Aug 29, 2013

Pixhawk is designed by the PX4 open hardware project and manufactured by 3D Robotics. It features advanced processor and sensor technology from ST Microelectronics® which delivers incredible performance and reliability at low price points.

The flexible PX4 middleware running on the NuttX Real-Time Operating System brings multithreading and the convenience of a Unix / Linux like programming environment to the open source autopilot domain, while the custom PX4 driver layer ensures tight timing. These facilities will allow Pixhawk to bring in completely new functionality, such as Lua scripting of missions and flight behavior.

The PX4 project offers a complete flight control stack, and projects such as APM:Copter and APMlane have ported their software to run as flight control applications. This allows existing APM users to seamlessly transition to the new Pixhawk hardware and lowers the barriers to entry for new users to participate in the exciting world of autonomous vehicles.

The flagship Pixhawk module will be accompanied by new peripheral options, including a digital airspeed sensor, support for an external multi-color LED indicator and an external magnetometer. All peripherals are automatically detected and configured.
