Hi…Im totally lost on this. How do I install px4 on the navio2 board?? I honestly have no idea. In the px4 website it says that you should be able to flash it with the groundcontrol, but that is only for the pixhawk. I know it works for the navio2 now, but honestly, there are zero guide on this. A more noob friendly guide should be created on the navio2 docs page.
ANyway, if anybody can help me on this I would really appreciate it.
Thanks…
EDIT: I need to do a tailsitter plane, that is why I need px4
Hi there! ArduPilot does also have support for these new VTOLs. Take a look at this thread! AFAIK, the PX4 guys have pretty easy to follow guides to get the FS running on Navio. I haven’t launched this in a while but it did work a couple of months ago.
hi thanks for your reply. That guide is not really straight foward though, I keep getting an error when I try to make the posix_rpi_cross , so I am stuck. Is there any easier way to install px4 in the navio2 similar to the apm method? Thanks!
No, we don’t package PX4 binaries in Debian packages, so this will be a little harder. But I guess PX4 team does have a build server you can fetch already built binaries. I wanted to ask one more time, though: why ArduPilot won’t cut it? It seems that your setup is supported.
Thanks again for the answer That ardupilot that you sent me was for tilt rotor, but my case is tail sitter, so I guess is a little different. Maybe I saw it wrong, but was there a tail sitter too for ardupilot?
Anyway, I was finally able to install px4! Works nice to anybody that may also be having difficulty,my tip is to use Linux. Everything went way more smoothly after I switched from Windows.
I’m glad you figured it out. Yeah, I guess we might have forgotten the difficulties Windows users might run into while cross compiling stuff for Linux. It’s indeed a painful one.
I used the “Bash on Windows” feature. It is available on Windows 10 Home and Pro via “Software and Features”. Then I just followed the Ubuntu build guide for px4. Worked without a problem.
Hey so Im trying to upload PX4 onto the navio2 board for regular plane. I’m using this command to launch the code after a native build: sudo ./build_posix_rpi_native/src/firmware/posix/px4 ./posix-configs/rpi/px4_fw.config
But as soon as I launch the code my server try to push past their limits and sound like they will quickly burn out so I have to stop. What changes did you have to make to get the planes to run PX4?
