My PX4Flow act as AI_B mentioned above.
Will you give us any indication of you effort on PX4Flow ?

I use is with the PX4 stack. By default the PX4Flow outputs a mavlink message via USB, therefore one just needs to start a mavlink stream on the appropriate interface in order for the flight controller to receive the messages. Let me know if that makes sense.

That is make scene to me that you have taken PX4 stack.
The problem to use PX4 stack on Navio is that very few information in this site.

I would also like more info for running PX4 stack on the navio2. I could not tune my micro drone to hover perfectly still and hope that px4 could do it better. But its awful how much outdated documentation their is on my px4 on navio2 search quest. Has anyone some experience or insights?

Hello,

any update on this?

I see you have tested this with PX4. Does the same USB or UART connection also work with APM? And if so, how?
