# PX4 Development
|
|
|
|
This section explains how to support new vehicle types and variants, modify flight algorithms, add new modes, integrate new hardware, and communicate with PX4 from outside the flight controller.

|
|
This section is for software developers and (new) hardware integrators.
|
|
It is not needed if you're building an existing airframe or flying using a PX4 vehicle.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
It explains how to:
|
|
|
|
- Get a [minimum developer setup](../dev_setup/config_initial.md), [build PX4 from source](../dev_setup/building_px4.md) and deploy on [numerous supported autopilots](../flight_controller/index.md).
|
|
- Understand the [PX4 System Architecture](../concept/architecture.md) and other core concepts.
|
|
- Learn how to modify the flight stack and middleware:
|
|
- Modify flight algorithms and add new [flight modes](../concept/flight_modes.md).
|
|
- Support new [airframes](../dev_airframes/index.md).
|
|
- Learn how to integrate PX4 with new hardware:
|
|
- Support new sensors and actuators, including cameras, rangefinders, etc.
|
|
- Modify PX4 to run on new autopilot hardware.
|
|
- [Simulate](../simulation/index.md), [test](../test_and_ci/index.md) and [debug/log](../debug/index.md) PX4.
|
|
- Communicate/integrate with external robotics APIs.
|
|

|
- [Support](../contribute/support.md): Get help using the [discussion boards](https://discuss.px4.io//) and other support channels.
|
|
- [Weekly Dev Call](../contribute/dev_call.md): A great opportunity to meet the PX4 dev team and discuss platform technical details (including pull requests, major issues, general Q&A).
|
|
- [Licences](../contribute/licenses.md): What you can do with the code (free to use and modify under terms of the permissive [BSD 3-clause license](https://opensource.org/license/BSD-3-Clause)!)
