## PX4 Configuration
|
|
|
|
The CUAV P8 Radio comes pre-configured (baud rate 57600, broadcast mode) for use with PX4.

On some flight controllers, or if used with a different serial port, you may need to [configure the port for MAVLink communication](../peripherals/mavlink_peripherals.md).

|
|
The required cables are included in the package.
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
CUAV P8 Radio does not support power supply from the flight controller, it needs to be connected to a 12~60v battery or BEC.
