Connect a Raspberry Pi to a Pixhawk running Ardupilot/PX4

We setup a Raspberry Pi 3 to be working as a companion PC for your autopilot, running Ardupilot/PX4. My personal advise is not to use APM 2.x board. You need a 32 bit autopilot to get the best off Ardupilot. Find a few links below. *** SHOP NOW at my store and help sustaining the channel: _________________________ UPDATES AND ERRORS _________________________ - When setting the serial port, in the file /boot/config.txt add the following line: dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt - DISABLE the Bluetooth to get ttyAMA0 (otherwise use ttyS0): edit /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf Bt blacklist btbcm blacklist hci_uart _______________________________________________________________ *** DISCLAIMER *** I apologize for the audio quality. I learned my lessons from my mistakes **** Raspberry Pi is a good starting point, due to the low cost and the great support from the community. Connect the board to the Internet with an ethernet cable and plug a monitor and a keyboard. Once ready, login with pi/raspberry and open the raspi-config. Here just activate SSH and then reboot. From here on we can complete the setup on a computer through SSH. You need to download dronekit and compile it on the Raspberry Pi, in order to avoid annoying warning message in case you connect with both the companion pc and the ground station. ***** How to get started ******* ***Companion PC*** ***Autopilot*** ******** Merchandise **********************
