3DR PX4 Pixhawk Advanced Autopilot

• Advanced autopilot system with 32 bit ARM cortex M4 processor
• NuttX real-time operating system for incredible performance
• 14 PWM/servo outputs
• Integrated backup system for in-flight recovery and manual override

The 3DR PX4 Pixhawk Advanced Autopilot is an advanced autopilot system designed by the PX4 open-hardware project and manufactured by 3D Robotics. It features advanced processor and sensor technology from ST Microelectronics® and a NuttX real-time operating system, delivering incredible performance, flexibility, and reliability for controlling any autonomous vehicle.

The benefits of the Pixhawk system include integrated multithreading, a Unix/Linux-like programming environment, completely new autopilot functions such as Lua scripting of missions and flight behavior, and a custom PX4 driver layer ensuring tight timing across all processes. These advanced capabilities ensure that there are no limitations to your autonomous vehicle. Pixhawk allows existing APM and PX4 operators to seamlessly transition to this system and lowers the barriers to entry for new users to participate in the exciting world of autonomous vehicles.
