Top 6 pixhawk Open-Source Projects

  • AirSim

    Open source simulator for autonomous vehicles built on Unreal Engine / Unity, from Microsoft AI & Research

  • PX4-Autopilot

    PX4 Autopilot Software

    • Project mention: Kalman Filter Tutorial: Kalman Filter from the Ground Up | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-14

    They are widely used in narrow circles :)

    Two of (arguably the best) open source RC aircraft flight controllers (ArduPilot and PX4) are using extended Kalman filters in their state estimators (essentially sensor fusion that provides attitude/position estimate):

    https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/blob/main/src/modules/e...

    I'm not that familiar with cleanflight/betaflight/inav scene to know what the FPV racer flight controllers use.

  • qgroundcontrol

    Cross-platform ground control station for drones (Android, iOS, Mac OS, Linux, Windows)

    • Project mention: DJI Virtual Flight (iOS) has been broken for five months | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-09

    For Disco you're in luck, there are some really decent ardupilot-based projects out there[1]. Plus, unlike the Bebop camera which is inaccessible via the shell (you can only use the Parrot SDK), the Disco camera can be commanded to stream/record with a few simple commands, and even bound to controller inputs.

    A caveat with the controller: it needs to have custom firmware[2] to get it communicating with ardupilot, and to get the firmware onto the controller you need telnet/adb into it via SkyController→usb→ethernet→usb→Laptop adaptor(s).

    For a ground control system (GCS), there's three to choose from: Mission Planner, APM Planner, and QGroundControl[3] (ignore the rest, use this one).

    For configuring the drone, mission planner is pretty good... but you can also just use MavProxy[4] which is a fantastic commandline program that all the GCSes use in some way, and can even be installed in Termux/Android.

  • MissionPlanner

    Mission Planner Ground Control Station for ArduPilot (c# .net)

  • ESP32

    DroneBridge for ESP32. A transparent short range wifi based telemetry (serial to WiFi) link. Support for MAVLink, MSP, LTM (iNAV) or any other protocol

  • OpenKAI

    OpenKAI: A modern framework for unmanned vehicle and robot control

    • Project mention: Understanding OpenKAI framework. | /r/drones | 2023-10-21

    Can anyone explain how the OpenKai framework works? Or maybe point me in the right direction? Their GitHub: https://github.com/yankailab/OpenKAI only states a brief introduction of the algorithm. And I unfortunately could not find anything on the web.
