Why this one
Aetherforge has only ever talked to a simulated drone. The X500 is a PX4 development kit, so it speaks the same MAVLink as the simulator. The goal is to point the same Go backend at a real aircraft and watch it show up on the map.
Build
Currently being assembled.
- Pixhawk 6X flight controller running PX4
- SiK telemetry radio for the ground station link
- 10-inch props on a 500mm carbon fiber frame
Next
First flight, then live telemetry into Aetherforge.
