Robot Operating System for Flight Monitoring and Control – Getting Started.

If you have heard of Robot Operating System and want to use it to monitor and control UAV flight, this post will get you started…

More specifically, this post details how to set up a Pixhawk flight controller running PX4 firmware, with a Raspberry Pi3 companion computer running Robot Operating System.  This combination will give flexible control over the flight control unit and the ability to integrate a very wide range of features such as depth-sensing cameras and machine learning networks.
