Oh finally!! someone with pixhawk experience going to show some video tutorials on this. I have had this flight controller laying for a while already and even contacted you about it Lee, I have been getting some help on the pixhawk discord but video tutorials will be amazing. I would love to see how you would add the holybro recommended ST VL53L1X Lidar on each of its separate l2c bus so I hope you will do that or can shine some light on it. I have it currently build on a DJI S900 with a forward ST VL53L1X Lidar and a downward Lightware SF30/C lidar with dual m9n gps but I feel that a lot of parameters are just not there that you find in guides on the internet. Thank you in advance for all the future videos to come. Have a great day Lee
Yeard ago I tested the ardilot in a vehicle to see how it could map a toad. There was too much drift. Wonder if theese modern verdions could be hoonef to a high gain antena and do rtk + IMU TO get close to those expensive ones
hey guys can someone tell me if this pixhawk is compatible with m8p or here3 GPS module? cause i couldn't see something clear on the website. it shows m8n and m9n but doesn't have something for m8p or here3. thank you
Great, thank you Sir, I saw the x500 v2 frame, now with this flight controller, i think its good idea to start new built of multirotor. Waiting your new videos about it.
Hi I am planning to purchase x500 V2 drone arf kit. I will use Pixhawk 5x and I am going to add a companion computer i.e raspberry pi to this. Can raspberry pi command the drone to stop flying or stay at some altitude? How far the raspberry pi and pixhawk 5x can communicate with each other? Can you please help me with this doubt?
Hi thank you so much for this channel and the work that you do. I learned everything about drones from this channel and I'm in this industry for over 3 years now. I had a question Which FC is comparatively better 1. Cube Orange 2. CUAV v5+ 3. Holybro Pixhawk 5 Thank you
'Better' is a relative term so impossible to answer with all the context. My choice for a professional build with no compromises - Cube. Choice for those builds that need a smaller unit that costs less but has less redundancy - HolyBro Durandal..
There are very few, or close to none videos online for the pixhawk 5x, thanks for this. I got this FC, and I plan to link it with crossfire Nano so I can use the MavLink. If you have time at some point, it would be nice if you can make a video showing how the connection goes. Thanks, and take care!
Hi.. I have just done a build with 5x and I have a problem.. it will arm.. but I cannot get the esc or servo to go! The sticks are dead!.. please help..
Hi! Hey, nothing happening with the Pixhawk 5X? Neither here nor the rest of youtube. Not much to be seen. I was wondering if you're doing anything with the Flight controller from Holybro.
Hi Now the standard pixhawk 5x is not available. so I'm going to buy all the parts separately, i.e baseboard, power module, cable set. I dont find the Pixhawk 5x flight control module anywhere, can I use the Pixhawk 6X flight control module to my Pixhwak 5x flight controller baseboard? I humbly request you to help me with these doubts as I am running out of my deadlines. Thanking you in advance
Pixhawks can use lots of protocols so something like that radio will be fine. I've not seen a WiFi module myself but the Ardupilot documentation is very good. Best of luck
Thanks for the review.The product is great as always but i think that they should make some progress concernig an embedded OSD ( Minim Osd inside 😃 ) that is user friendly and eventually by passed with some external and more expensive one if necessary.
I can't comment - the MEAS unit. As most professional builds use something like a PixHawk Cube. Durandal or something like this, I guess they are doing something right..
Hello, thanks for your video! I'm a beginner to UAV and plan to buy PixHawk controller right now. Could you please tell me should I buy this new PixHawk 5X or PixHawk 4? Any difference between this two controller? I checked the website and it seems very similar and use the same development environment. Looking forward to your reply!
If you are a beginner then you are not starting at the easy end. Check out my Ardupilot 2020 series for lots more basics before investing.. Best of luck
Today I have managed to flash ArduCopter v4.2 on the 5X and it seemed to work ok., but I noticed that it is not sensing battery voltage. I tried to change the batt_monitor parameter to value 14 (SMBUS-SUI6) and after a reboot it bricked the board. I have managed to flash the px4 software back via the QGC and then back to ArduCopter v4.2 via mission planner. As it was not sensing the battery again, I have tried to change the batt_monitor parameter again and the board is bricked again. Does someone have any clue what I might have done wrong or missed ? Cheers and thank you for the video :) .
The correct setting for the Pixhawk5X battery monitor is BATT_MONITOR=21, which should be the default when you flash the firmware. The value 21 is for INA2XX which is an I2C chipset that is quite new to ArduPilot (only in 4.2). I'm flying a Pixhawk5X in a Freeman2100 quadplane myself, and it works very nicely. I just needed to change the connectors to XT90 and swap the wire 10 gauge on the battery monitor to support the power requirements of the Freeman2100.

I've been looking for a review for that board. But never really searched. It came in time. Thanks
Yeard ago I tested the ardilot in a vehicle to see how it could map a toad. There was too much drift. Wonder if theese modern verdions could be hoonef to a high gain antena and do rtk + IMU TO get close to those expensive ones
Thank you. Looking forward to upcoming content with this unit!
Really impressive hardware, Lee! Fantastic review! 😃
Looking forward to the build!
Happy holidays! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great video please make another one with a vtol tail sitter configuration

Great, Pixhawk plus DJI , just what I’d like to see- with ground station recording GPS co-ordinates to recover craft in case of a disaster?

I had a question
Which FC is comparatively better
1. Cube Orange
2. CUAV v5+
3. Holybro Pixhawk 5
Thank you
'Better' is a relative term so impossible to answer with all the context. My choice for a professional build with no compromises - Cube. Choice for those builds that need a smaller unit that costs less but has less redundancy - HolyBro Durandal..

More videos planned when Ardupilot supports it...
Now that's my kind of controller, love it. Send me yours when u get tired of it.
Hi.. I have just done a build with 5x and I have a problem.. it will arm.. but I cannot get the esc or servo to go! The sticks are dead!.. please help..
Check out my Pixhawk 2020 series for all the steps I use to get Ardupilot working. Best of luck
Super curious as to how this compares to the Durandal (Patreon Sarah Davis).
Hi! Hey, nothing happening with the Pixhawk 5X? Neither here nor the rest of youtube. Not much to be seen. I was wondering if you're doing anything with the Flight controller from Holybro.
Needs ardupilot 4.2. It's not out yet... Happy flying
It is just out! Video on it on Friday. Setup appears the same as any modern PixHawk board..
Hi
Now the standard pixhawk 5x is not available. so I'm going to buy all the parts separately, i.e baseboard, power module, cable set. I dont find the Pixhawk 5x flight control module anywhere, can I use the Pixhawk 6X flight control module to my Pixhwak 5x flight controller baseboard?
I humbly request you to help me with these doubts as I am running out of my deadlines.
Thanking you in advance
No idea, I've not seen the 6x yet. These questions are best asked to the place you will buy it from... Best of luck
Can the pixhawk connect to a frsky taranis q x 7 with ease?
Is there WiFi modules for live videos on phone?
Pixhawks can use lots of protocols so something like that radio will be fine. I've not seen a WiFi module myself but the Ardupilot documentation is very good. Best of luck
Also what is the current rating of the power module that comes with this? Plz

Thanks for the review.The product is great as always but i think that they should make some progress concernig an embedded OSD ( Minim Osd inside 😃 ) that is user friendly and eventually by passed with some external and more expensive one if necessary.
Is the altitude sensing capability of this controller better than MEAS MS5611 ?
I can't comment - the MEAS unit. As most professional builds use something like a PixHawk Cube. Durandal or something like this, I guess they are doing something right..
wow love the pixhawk stuff a more premium bit of kit 👌
what do you think about the Cube vs the Pixhawk 5X.
I use the Durandal and Pixhawk Cube here. I'll try this out and be able to comment when the code is out and I've built something with it. Stay tuned!
would this work with the matek gps
I've never tried. If you are going to invest in one of these, I'd get all of the other pieces that go with it..

Great stuff,
Thank you very for the video. I have a question, does the telemetry kit work with Pixhawk1 board?
It should do but the connectors are probably different.. Happy flying
The price for this MCU breakboard with few sensors and bunch of connectors/wires is insane.
