The PX4 firmware is the low-level, real-time flight control code that runs on the drone's flight control board. For this class, the flight control board is the Intel AeroFC but PX4 runs just the same on [a wide range of other autopilot boards](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/flight_controller/).\n", "\n", "The PX4 source code is all open source and under active development; see [here](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot). This means that you can go in an modify the low-level control algorithms that are responsible for keeping your drone in stable, controlled flight! This low-level access is a powerful tool for developing advanced capabilities for your drone, but also increases the complexity and potential safety hazard of operations; thus why this is considered an advanced topic.\n", "\n", "" ] }, { "cell_type": "code", "execution_count": null, "metadata": {}, "outputs": [], "source": [] } ], "metadata": { "kernelspec": { "display_name": "Python 3 (ipykernel)", "language": "python", "name": "python3" }, "language_info": { "codemirror_mode": { "name": "ipython", "version": 3 }, "file_extension": ".py", "mimetype": "text/x-python", "name": "python", "nbconvert_exporter": "python", "pygments_lexer": "ipython3", "version": "3.6.13" } }, "nbformat": 4, "nbformat_minor": 2 }
