3DR PX4 Pixhawk Advanced Autopilot
Pixhawk 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.
The flagship Pixhawk module will be accompanied by new peripheral options, including a digital
airspeed sensor, support for an external multi-color LED indicator and an external magnetometer. All
peripherals are automatically detected and configured.
