last few hacks to make standard_vtol pass
- higher airspeed targets
 - higher pusher thrust
 - higher takeoff attitude (arsp failure test)

   in the airspeed failure case, the lowered airspeed reading causes the
   controller to want to speed up until the (wrong) airspeed is at the
   setpoint, i.e. the real airspeed quite a bit faster.  without these
   fixes, tecs does a nosedive to regain airspeed, but never becomes fast
   enough (with already maxed out pusher thrust). we pervent this with
   the first two adaptations, while the last one gives space for the
   remaining nosedive.

   fix this permanently by:
    - ensuring the model makes sense definitely (pusher thrust, mass, aero
      properties)
    - noticing the failure faster
    - adapting tecs so it doesn't nosedive?

 - stop sending airspeed in sih

   src/modules/simulation/sensor_airspeed_sim/SensorAirspeedSim.cpp
   is already doing that. in the sensor failure case (wrong), that implements
   the failure, but the SIH one not, giving conflicting data. so switch
   it off

 - larger acceptance radius

   quadx position mode is just not that accurate. is it a control/model
   mismatch problem, or a simulation problem?

 - wait longer for disarm in test_vtol_rtl

   this would fail at large speed factors previously. timing bug or
   acceptable small variation?

PX4 Drone Autopilot

Releases DOI

Build Targets SITL Tests

Discord Shield

This repository holds the PX4 flight control solution for drones, with the main applications located in the src/modules directory. It also contains the PX4 Drone Middleware Platform, which provides drivers and middleware to run drones.

PX4 is highly portable, OS-independent and supports Linux, NuttX and MacOS out of the box.

Releases

Release notes and supporting information for PX4 releases can be found on the Developer Guide.

Building a PX4 based drone, rover, boat or robot

The PX4 User Guide explains how to assemble supported vehicles and fly drones with PX4. See the forum and chat if you need help!

Changing Code and Contributing

This Developer Guide is for software developers who want to modify the flight stack and middleware (e.g. to add new flight modes), hardware integrators who want to support new flight controller boards and peripherals, and anyone who wants to get PX4 working on a new (unsupported) airframe/vehicle.

Developers should read the Guide for Contributions. See the forum and chat if you need help!

Weekly Dev Call

The PX4 Dev Team syncs up on a weekly dev call.

Note

The dev call is open to all interested developers (not just the core dev team). This is a great opportunity to meet the team and contribute to the ongoing development of the platform. It includes a QA session for newcomers. All regular calls are listed in the Dronecode calendar.

Maintenance Team

See the latest list of maintainers on MAINTAINERS file at the root of the project.

For the latest stats on contributors please see the latest stats for the Dronecode ecosystem in our project dashboard under LFX Insights. For information on how to update your profile and affiliations please see the following support link on how to Complete Your LFX Profile. Dronecode publishes a yearly snapshot of contributions and achievements on its website under the Reports section.

Supported Hardware

Project Governance

The PX4 Autopilot project including all of its trademarks is hosted under Dronecode, part of the Linux Foundation.
