Great video!! I've just bumbled my way through setting up a PixHawk and your first video would have saved me hours searching for missing information! Looking forward to the rest!!
Peter Arnold Powering the board, connecting ESCs, arming and initial hover next... Should be out next week..
Thanks for the feedback.

7 years ago, and yet I’m still learning from you Lee! Painless360 is fully Mega. Thank You Man! 😀
omg your a life saver, im new to drone technology and jumped in at the deep end by designing my own vtol with unique features and your guides are going to be invalueble in the process.
Hello Chris, can you provide me your email address ?
Very well done! You answered all of my questions and gave me a thorough understanding of the Pixhawk.
I can't thank you enough for all the things have I learnt from you in RC world. Please continue , your are awesome.
Oh man, what a fantastic presentation. Thank you very much, it seems i finally found the right channel
Welcome! Happy flying!
Thank you for this series of videos on the Pixhawk 2.4.8, It's a great help.
Thanks so much for this. I've had a Pixhawk for a few weeks and will now install it. Thanks for using the Taranis, too. Looking forward to the next one.
A quite usefull trick for using the GPS for the first time is to put it outside or or simply near a window so it would track much much faster. I thought my GPS/Pixhawk was broken when i had that problem. Hope that helps ;-)
Many thanks to the mysterious "R"
....probably an associate of "M" perhaps?
Shaken- not stirred, eh?
***** You eggspect me to tawk? (In mock Scottish/English accent) ;)

Just the sort of thing I have been looking for. Great stuff and keep them coming.
Thanks for the first video of the serie on the Pixhawk :)
Have a great weekend
This is a deep video on PixHawk. I really like it!
Great job on the video, as well as everything you've released so far. You truly do make this hobby painless!
A point of note for anyone upgrading from APM to Pixhawk... All of your existing peripherals will still work (GPS module, 3DR Telemetry, MinimOSD), however, you have to change the connectors from DF13 5 position to DF13 6 position plugs. The only item that can move over with no modification is the power module. There are tons of pictures online showing the exact pinouts, so the hardest part will be finding the plugs. My Pixhawk came with a few extra "spare" cables, so I just carefully harvested the ends off those and I was up and running quickly
Well I threw out my NAZA-M V2 stuff! I am now getting ready to set up this PixHawk. I'll be watching each video in the series and doing exactly what you say. I love how you make these videos for guys like me that are sorta new to all this tech. After I get this all figured out and flying on a DJI FlameWheel clone, I'll buy the PixHawk 2 and putting that on yet another DJI Flame Wheel clone.
I love your videos, without them, I would never had tried anything! I flew my first quadcopter with a Naze32 because of your videos on it.
Thank you
PS: I have made it past the first hurdle, but with a few problems. My computer wouldn't recognize the USB connection (NAZA V2 did this too) and now I have it hooked up after doing everything manually (no Wizard). On to #2 in the series!
Thank you! Your video is quite educational. I'm preparing for my first build.
Can't wait to watch the next video. Great job.
Hello, I am a big fan of your explanation. This world of the drones is new to me. Good information is always very valuable. I would like to thank you for this clear explanation . Best regards, Hans
Thank you for the feedback. I do try and aim the content to be accessible for newer pilots and builders..
I'm still waiting for my pixhawk which I've bought on the internet, but your video I've already added to my favorites. Thanks for uploading! 😀
It's 2020.....did you ever get it or are you STILL WAITING?? lolol

Thanks for sharing informative video, I started learning about pix hawk from your video.
love your channel man! great work as always!
Thank you. Happy flying!
Great video painless. right on spot.
Thank you for the time you took to make these videos!.
Sir, your videos are undoubtedly the most helpful in this field
Thank you for the comment. Different people have different learning styles, background and experience so no one set of videos will be perfect for all audiences. It is always nice to hear from someone who has found the videos I make useful... Happy flying!
Thanks Painless and others will give a try on different pc.
Like always, we love very much your instructional videos. Thumbs up!
Claudiu Farcas Thanks you.
Nice tutorial video, it's so helpful for rc plane builders. I appreciate it 👍
Thanks. Check out the latest Arduplane 2020 series for an up to date series... Happy flying!
Great video. 10 out of 10 from me. Thanks for your time and effort with making it. And thanks to 'R' for sending the pixhawk.
Glad you liked it, there are more in this series. Check out the playlist. Happy flying!
Thanks PL360!! The only warning for newbies (and I'm one of them) is.... the firmware for pixhawk. I used the mission planner software to load the quadcopter firmware into the pixhawk. But once that was done, the pixhawk got a red solid LED coming on (after each manual power-up), and had three beeps...one higher tone, followed by two low tones. I thought I had broken my pixhawk. I then needed to go to qgroundcontrol.com/ to install the Qgroundcontrol software, which provided two options - a pixhawk firmware and an ardupilot firmware. I chose the pixhaw firmware..... which loaded into my pixhawk 2.4.6, which revived all functions. I was then able to start up Mission Planner and connect to the pixhawk. Just mentioning this in case some newbies get a heart attack after loading the ardupilot firmware into their pixhawk. Otherwise, fantastic! Thanks again! Love your video and very easy-to-follow guidance with the sensors setup!
UPDATE: This morning, I took a punt and tried one more time to use Mission Planner to upload the copter 3.4.4 firmware. And it surprised me that the firmware not only uploaded, but the pixhawk 2.4.6 was also operating properly. Thanks!
Joy oh Joy My new Pixhawk is working. Thankyou !!!
Really helpful and clear. Many thanks
Very excellent, clear explanation of your follower from Saudi
okkey. I also opened a ticket with 3DR. I will keep you informed. thanks a lot. regards and ciao Andrea
Thank you very much bro, video concept is awasome
Check out the Pixhawk 2020 series too... Happy flying
@@Painless360 thank you, ı will
Great Stuff mate
wow so cool will be watching thanks
thank you for this video. coming back to Pixhawk, after 2 years, as the first try was not success )))
thanks for your videos, i started this last July and got totally no where, tried kk2, apm 2.6 and 2.8 and gave up, then came across your videos so i dragged everything out of the cupboard and tried again and succeeded in under 5 hours, flys great, last time i tried it went always skimmed sideways then flipped over and crashed without fail.please keep them coming and maybe add the 6 position switch for Turnigy 9x on ER9X and 9Xtreme as i struggled with that for several days as many videos out there worked for them but i only got 5 of the six flight modes working despite the transmitter clearly showing 6.
+s See our videos where we've added modes to other radios - the problem comes from the fact that the ranges for the modes are not equally spaced and a lot of the controls on a radio assume they are.. Best of luck!
Thanks "R!" Thanks PL360!!
thanks for such great content...thanks to R as well XD
grazie mille! finalmente un tutor chiaro...
+Alessandro Colangeli
Siete i benvenuti, sono contento che lo ha aiutato. Volo felice!
Many thanks for another excellent video. Just spent a few weeks building an F450 using a Flysky Fs-i6s Tx with no problems at all, just a small amount of trim on the elevator and it flies perfectly.
Which receiver did you use and if its fsia6b how did you connect it to the pixhawk
Thank you for this video
Finally a tech video without a weird accent
This video is over 4 years old and my channel has been going for over 12 years. Where have you been? ;) Glad you found the content. Happy flying!
Great instructional video. Very detailed and complete. Still relevant in NOV2017 to understanding Pixhawk and its setup.
Any thumbs-down votes are clearly the work of idiots savants, as there is zero reason to give this a thumbs-down. These are among some of the most well-done instructional videos I've come across and I definitely appreciate the time, effort, charts, detailed explanations and history of the APM evolution to PX4 to Pixhawk.
This is must-view video for everyone new to UAS.
+Tex McFaden thanks for taking the time to write that comment, it's always great to hear from those who get something from the videos. Happy flying
Mr P. Thanks a million for the whole series of videos you put out! They have been invaluable to me and probably thousands. of others. One question:- Is the GPS unit from my old ARM unit compatible with the new PixHawk? Or do I have to buy all new ancillaries.
It might do, I've not tried it here though as I tend to by the PixHawks with the GPS etc. all included as a package..
Outstanding
Regarding the magnetometer calibration, does it matter that the GPS will be in a different position relative to the Pixhawk on the model, compared to the piece of card?
I’d always recommend redoing it in the model..
Continue, genius
thank you so so much
Thank you for informative channel has got me out of a bind more than once. Will you be covering the setup and performance of Px4flow in the near future?
Not at the moment, there is a lot of things ahead of it in the queue. I'd also like to wait a little until all of the bugs are ironed out.. Thanks for the idea though..
Thanks for the great videos. They have gotten me in the air going back to the early electric heli days.
I'm having a problem: No matter what I do, if I set up the radio for AETRM, the throttle and elevator are exchanged when I go to calibrate in Mission Planner. This is is on a pre-owned Taranis X9E with the Hall Effect gimbals. I'm wondering if this is a mode 1 radio and when the previous owner upgraded the gimbals, he simply set it up as a mode 2. If I set the radio up as ATERM, the calibrate routine responds as expected. Any thoughts?
Sounds like you are a little new to the radio and OpenTx. Check in the mixer section of the radio and you'll see that those outputs are swapped. You can move them to be anything you want. See my OpenTX mix school videos. Best of luck!
Thank you for your videos! Setup my first APM with your videos help.Now i move to a PIXHACK and i´ts hard to find info. Are you planning do some videos on this FC?
It's worth mentioning control directions in radio calibration aileron and rudder are obvious but elevator is reversed to what you think and not same direction as throttle i.e. full forward throttle - green bar goes to top, full forward elevator - green bar should go down
thanks so much
Great viseo, great series but new mission planner is different I´m suposed tonselect 2 compass ( internal + external ) ormjust one and forget the other?
thanks
Your video are very good! thank so much. Please help I am stuck at calibrating radio connection. I have taranis, plus but my receiver led doesn't turn green/no connection. do you have to setup the taranis first before auto detection? also, do i have to restart all the calibration steps if i didn't finish the first time or does it save your progress to memory/firmware?
what cind of camera i must to conect on pixhawk for aerialphotografy mission?
And what the diferend abouti this and Pixhawk PX4 Autopilot PIX 2.4.6 ?
Hi mate. Thank you for all the informative videos! Huge help for starters like me. I have a few questions though, what is the best version of firmware to use with pixhawk purchased from bangood? And what mission planner version you recommend for this FC? Will you send me the link to that particular mission planner version? Is it really better to use the latest version of mission planner and firmware? Cheers!
I'd always flash the latest and greatest.. Best of luck!
Thank you again for your awesome tutorials, I now have my tarot 650 almost complete but noticed the external compass is not active, the ublox neo-7n is plugged into the gps and 12c sockets as required and does not appear in mission planner calibration screen I also tried rotating the gps module and it didn't change the heading any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi , Painless, i finally get my pixhawk from bangood , and i am flying , but little lost with the parameters.I have a ThrO=0.250 to 0.300 , for a stable altitude is it ok , with the APM i used to have 600 to 700 when the battery is at the end?Thank you for your videos.
Thanks for the great video!
As I'm considering moving from APM 3.1 to Pixhawk I cannot find any info if the peripherals (like GPS antenna, MinimOSD, current sensor etc) from APM will also work with the Pixhawk, or are they a bit different?
Most are identical. Most pixhawk kits come with a gps and 3dr radios now..
If you are getting a slow response from your radio calibration, as when I move the sticks there is a delay on the screen, is something wrong or any fixes? I got the PPMencoder working only found two posts from 2014 and they said to solder the J1 jumpers togrther I did this with no other validation fearing Id short the whole thing but it worked fine, well except for the slow response for above.
Also have done so much reading of forums and user guides and watching video and still can not find a solution to the USB not being recognised even after turning search off and pointing hardware at drivers. Im a Noob to Pixhawk and very excited to get going. I followed your advice video and spent 24 hours straight working through issues got the PPM going and the telemetry and the external USB, still has not fixed the recognition issue. O also mine came with 5 pin plugs and not 6 for a few leeds and a few other issues that caused grief prior to all the investigation. once swapped out though seemed to get it all going.
well except the two issues above that I have read guides forums and prayed and still no joy so really hoping that you may know what the issue may be. All the buttons I have calibrated one TX respond on the software and the sticks move to the limits of the red lines as it asks you to make sure of its just theres a lag.Everything else seems to work and get great readings in the flight screen. Could it be that its through the telemetry because I cant get usb to work, I did manage to flash the firmware luckily during ine brief usb connection. Or once in the plane will the signal work as usual and the telemitry just be relaying the response slowly? Soooo any ideas? or any documentation you may know of that I have not come across yet?
Sorry, we've not used a PPM Encoder here. There will be a slight delay on the screen (see the setup videos) but it should be very slight..
great video, hmm do you need a gps and a compass for calibration and flying? just wondering if no gps and no compass can cause any problems . I tried to fly my tarot without gps and compass connected to it, and it was really stable, the model was loosing the balance
+Zycie w Californii I would always add the GPS and compass to the model unless you have configured the flight controller to not want either as you setup via the wizard. Best of luck!
Hello, could you tell me why my EFK only turns red? another thing is that when I put all the accelerator bump and pich the same disarms the engines, just remembering that these tests the same is on the ground?
hi , Painless , after using my Pixhawk for several months, i cleared the dataflash logs, and now it does not create anymore logs.Log_bitmask went to a stupid value, so i restored it to 958, and its the same...Any idea,thanks a lot for your videos.Also , did you ever had the green main led flashing fast?
could you do a video on how to setup landing/retracts on a multi using pixhawk/taranis? thank you for what you have done thus far!!
Hi, I have realized the motor beeps when the switch is flashing red light. However the problem is that after I calibrate the esc and motor spins perfectly when i turned it off and start again the motor doesn't spin for some reason. I'm really struggling to get this thing work..
Thank you R
hi painless, love the videos, totally convinced me now to go down the pixhawk road for my next FC.... Quick question though..thinking about damping for the vibration issue, rather then buying an anti-vibration mount, i was wandering if there is space inside the case to drill some holes in the bottom plate of the case and mount some silicone anti-vibration balls directly to the case itself...... or is the circuit board too close to the inside of the bottom plate.
thanks for the great videos... big fan
+Dave Towner really depends on the case. The anti vibration mounts made for these work great though.. best of luck!
Hi! I am trying to setup this on my bixler and I was wondering what channel should I put the flaps on? I watched this and the taranis video but Im still clueless. Is hard to go trough this series and have it adapted to a plane. Thank u in advance. Also is the telemetry radio mandatory to get a good experience with thr pixhawk? Thank you for all the great content.
ardupilot.org/plane/docs/automatic-flaps.html covers it if you want to make them automatic. You can run them from the reciever directly or foward a channel to the flaps via a spare PWM output. See the latest Arduplane build on the channel. Best of luck with it..
Thank you. We will try the first fly on saturday. I did the setup including gps block. if I want to fly without, may I remove it and fly or have I to setup again the board without external gpd and compass module? Thanks for your time. Regards Andrea Montani
+Andrea Montani You could try but I would not try and fly a model without everything tested and working. Best of luck.
Hello, I've seen your video, however , on initial setup, while doing the radio calibration, the green bars don't appear and i can't manage to calibrate the rc.
I am using an FSi6 transmitter, with a FSiA6B receiver.The light on the receiver is steady and red, and i think they are binded correctly because i can see the battery status of the receiver on the transmitter.
I would really appreciate a help from you,
Thanks in advance
Hi! I'm following along in this series to set up my first GPS drone. I have a radiomaster tx16s bound to a spektrum satellite receiver, but the Pixhawk doesn't recognize inputs from the transmitter. Have you encountered this problem before?
I don't use Spektrum here, and sadly they don't seem to support widely used protocols like SBUS on their receivers. I'd look for a compatible receiver that will output SBUS for this project. Best of luck.
Hi, i'm using a FlySky I6X transmitter/reciever and i'm connecting the reciever to the pixhawk, via RCin and PPM/CH1 on the reciever. the transmitter is bound with the reciever, however i'm not getting any readings on the radio calibration stage. There are no bars, how do i fix this? thanks
Hi Painless i come back to your videos because i 've found a lot of version of Pixhawk on the internet...if i correctly understood yours explanations Px4 became Pixhawk...but i don't understand the differences between FMU and i/o....are they in the same controler board "Pixhawk" or may i buy many modules to get them and to wire together...?
Best regards
Philippe
+Drones Visions Aériennes I'd buy the same as in the video - we don't have experience with PX4 or other variants..
Thank you so much for the great information that you are sharing. Personally I have learned so many things from your series on CC3D and MINI APM.
I have one question if you don't mind. Is there any differences between the Pixhawk or APM that comes from 3DROBATICS in comparison to the ones that are sold by chines retailer such as Aliexpress.com?
mohammed alshaibani Lots of differences - the clue is in the price. ;)
They should be functionally the same but the quality and support will be different. The one I am using is not a 3DR model..
Best of luck with the build.
hi Iv just bought a tarot T1000 it has the pixhawk and a radiolink R12DS receiver it has already been setup but I noticed there is ppm encoder between the 2 the receiver has an S-BUS port and in your video it seems I can connect it with only 1 cable instead of all this mess
Have you got a PO box for people to send you items like person did for this video series ?
Hallo, thanks for that Video it helped me a
lot!
I have one question: Is it possible to mount a "Spektrum AR600" as an
receiver to the PIXHAWK?
THX
+Aaron Schwägerl Yes it should be - best of luck!
Hi
I really need your help!
I got a project that I need to get throttle value from pixhawk outputs even when its doing a mission for me with gps
I said that cuz I can easily get throttle value from receiver but the point is that I need throttle even when pixhawk is doing sth on his own
what can I do?
thanks for your attention...
Just got one of the Pixhawk 2.4.8 white case with buzzer and arm button from banggood.com. It updated in Mission Planner to ver. 3.3.3. Its got 2mb, 5611 baro. etc, etc, seems like a great deal. At first it didn't update on Mission Planner but I used a different USB cable and VUALA. Now I get to do all the cool stuff in Mission Planner I cant with my APM 2.52. Figured I'd start here. CHEERS!
You need to install ArduPilot 3.2.1 onto the APM and it should burst into life too - best of luck!
PERFECT, I had seen 3.2.2 was ok but its a Cheerson CX-20 and didn't want to brick it. 3.2.1 it is !
I selected a hexacopter on the first screen of the wizard, but as soon as it connects to my Pixhawk, it only gives me a choice of quads or tri. What do I do next?
No idea, I've not seen that. What trouble shooting have you already tried?
Painless360 That Pixhawk died on me, looks like a voltage regulator failed... will try again when I have the replacement.
HI Painless360, I'm working on a tailsitter quadopter using a pixhawk and was wondering if there is a way to switch between the arducopter software for the vertical hovering and the ardupilot software of the tailsitter transition and fixed wing flight mode?
Not played with it here but lots to read up on in the Wiki - ardupilot.org/plane/docs/guide-tailsitter.html
hi, I noticed your using the taranus radio receiver, it obviously has spps or sbuss,
my question is do all receivers have this capability, ? i currently have a FlySky 8 channel can most common receivers be used, or do you need a particular receiver set up
+Elmo Di Calro Some do, some don't. See the details for the receiver you are looking at to find out what it has.. Best of luck.
Hello. Excelent video!
I have a question, is it still worth it to get a Pixhawk 2.4.6 or 2.4.8? Are they still supported by ardupilot? I alredy have an old APM2.8 and I'm looking for an upgrade
Yes, see the later builds..
This is such a great video, do u know what website you used to purchase this pixhawk along with the wires?
I can't recall where I got this one from but I now get them from 3DXR...Best of luck
Hello, I am building a F450 drone and will be using Pixhawk. I had two questions for you and was hoping you could help.
1.) I have noticed that 3DR has discontinued the Pixhawk ($109), and transitioned to Pixhawk Mini ($230). Do you know any differences? I do not know which one to go with at the moment, as $230 is quite a bit of money, especially considering it is a smaller flight controller than the original Pixhawk, yet it is a newer version...
2.) For battery size on my F450, I will be running the DJI E305 kit, and am trying to achieve a 25-30 minute flight time. I am looking at a Venom 4S, 8000 mAH, 15 C battery. Any thoughts?
Thank you for the help!
1) All PixHawks are not clones, and have been for some time. It's why the price had dropped so much.
2) Really depends on the props, conditions, model weight etc. Watch that C rating on that pack.. check you've got enough for all the motors. Sorry, I don't use DJI kit here so can't comment further...
My Pixhawk Main out Pin 4 is not moving the motor 4(back right - clock-wise), can you please help me on how I can use other available pins like 5,6,7,8, in pixhawk 2.4.8 and assign it channel 4. I am not able to get any document which can help on swapping the pins. It'll be a great help. Also my motor 4 is working when connected to main out pin 1,2,3 of pixhawk. I am using FSi6 TX with FSiA6B RX.
in addition I would also specify that in the comports i don't find the pixhawk and when i plug it in it didn't automatically download the drivers
Lee would you know if there are currently any flight controllers on the market that can be ‘doubled up’ and connected into a single multicopter to act as a dual-redundancy system? Each flight controller would also have its own GPS unit for additional fail safe measures.
Thanks in advance
+Brad Samers I think I've already answered this - no need to post twice.. Happy flying!
شكرا لك
مرحبا بك
Hi, my radio does not pick up on the Radio Calibration part of Mission Planner. It seems like it's bound fine to the receiver, since I tested it with a servo motor and it responded fine. However, when receiver is plugged into the Pixhawk (Via RCIN) and radio is turned on, there are no green bars showing up on Mission Planner, despite the receiver showing a steady orange light. Do you think this is a problem with the radio or the Pixhawk itself or something else? I'm only in Highschool and extremely new to drones, and I've been stuck on this for a while. Any response would be awesome.
Radio: OrangeRx Tx6i Mode 1 Int'l Version 6ch 2.4GHz DSM2/DSMX Compatible Radio System
Receiver: OrangeRx R615X DSM2/DSMX Compatible 6Ch 2.4GHz Receiver w/CPPM
Check what protocol you need for the RCIN port. I use SBUS for that here so I would be suggest you need an RX with SBUS too... Best of luck
I want to equip my machine with extra solenoids and functions and I plan on using a gadgeteer and accessory boards. Should I use them in tandem with a Pixhawk or can I use them in place of it? It seems like the gadgeteer could do anything the flight controller does, but a good flight controller is made to fly etc.
+Rollin Shultz Sorry, we've not looked at them here. Best of luck with it!
+Painless360 It has been a really nice video. I have a question.If you answer, I am very happy.Should Pixhawka be connected to the GPS to run the connected engines? Good luck
By default, yes. Happy flying!
Great video! Just wanted to ask, my i2c connector & wires are gutted. Can I use the GPS without the i2c since the pixhawk already has an internal compass?
I wouldn't. That interval compass is too net everything else... Best of luck
Using MP1.3.37. Under initial setup/compass I get a gui giving options for the 2 compasses connected, 1 internal or external, 2 the same. declination also and live cal also. Now way of knowing which comp is the on board or gps one. Duh, just hit me , unplug one, right? I've found no help on this elsewhere.
I have selected the external compass in Pixhawk as in previous Apm board , after calibration of compass using APM Planner it is showing 2 different offsets too but Pixhawk is selecting the on board compass is there is anything I am missing.
All I know is in the videos. I’ve used Mission Planner here.. best of luck!
HI, sorry to ask . Did u try px4flow sensor on PIXHAWK? i try to install px4flow sensor to my PIXHAWK but when i switch to position mode the qground control deny my position mode .
+LIM RICKY sorry, we didn't. Best of luck with it!
Hello;
I have followed your great tutorials on pixhawk and FR Sky, however i've run into a strange problem where one motor isn't spinning as fast as others.. I'm using a DJI s900 platform connected to the pixhawk and the motors whilst they all power up and idle on arm.. one more seems to exhibit this behavior where it isn't getting enough power and slowing down at times.. I wonder if you have experienced this...? I'm told that the DJI ESC's have a fixed PWM value and can't be changed... so i'm really stumped now.. any ideas ?
+Richard James we've not used DJI products here. We're not fans. I'd normally suggest you recalibrate the ESCs next. Best of luck!
Sir how to connect pixhawk flight controller to flysky 6ch receiver. It not contain sbus facility.
