This section covers the common software configuration and calibration needed for most PX4 vehicles.
You must first load firmware and select your vehicle frame/type. Most other steps can be done out of order, except for tuning, which must be done last.
Before starting you should Download QGroundControl and install it on your desktop computer. Then open the QGC application menu ("Q" icon in the top-left corner) and choose Vehicle Setup in the Select Tool popup:
- 传感器方向
- 罗盘
- 陀螺仪
- 加速度计 Accelerometer
- Level Horizon
- Airspeed (Fixed-wing/VTOL only)
Note: Setup for optional sensors and specific hardware is provided in Flight Controller Peripherals.
Radio Control:
Joystick/GamePad:
- Autotune (Recommended on vehicles and frames that support it)
The video below shows most of the calibration process (it uses an older version of QGroundControl, but most of the process is unchanged).
If you need help with the configuration you can ask for help on the QGroundControl Support forum.
