PX4 defines default functions for many flight controller ports, which is why you can plug a GPS module into the port labelled GPS 1, an RC receiver into RC IN, or a telemetry module into TELEM 1, and generally they will just work.

The functions assigned to ports are fully configurable using appropriate parameters (in most cases). You can assign any unused port to any function, or reassign a port to use it for something else.

설정을 통하여 아래의 작업들이 용이해집니다.(예 😃

• Run MAVLink on a different port, change the streamed messages, or switch a TELEM port to use ROS 2/XRCE-DDS.
• Change the baud rate on a port or set the UDP port
• Setup dual GPS.
• Enable sensors that run on a serial port, such as some distance sensors.

INFO

• Some ports cannot be configured because they are used for a very specific purpose such as the system console.
• The mapping of specific devices to port names on the flight controller is explained in Serial Port Mapping.

Configuration Parameters

The serial port configuration parameters allow you to assign a particular function or support for particular hardware to a particular port. These parameters follow the naming pattern *_CONFIG or *_CFG

INFO

QGroundControl only displays the parameters for services/drivers that are present in firmware.

At time of writing the current set is:

• GNSS configuration:
  • GPS Module: GPS_1_CONFIG, GPS_2_CONFIG (for most GPS/GNSS systems)
  • Septentrio GNSS Modules: SEP_PORT1_CFG, SEP_PORT2_CFG
• Iridium Satellite radio: ISBD_CONFIG
• MAVLink Ports: MAV_0_CONFIG, MAV_1_CONFIG, MAV_2_CONFIG
• VOXL ESC: VOXL_ESC_CONFIG
• MSP OSD: MSP_OSD_CONFIG
• RC Port: RC_PORT_CONFIG
• FrSky Telemetry: TEL_FRSKY_CONFIG
• HoTT Telemetry: TEL_HOTT_CONFIG
• uXRCE-DDS port: UXRCE_DDS_CFG,
• Sensors (optical flow, distance sensors): SENS_CM8JL65_CFG, SENS_LEDDAR1_CFG, SENS_SF0X_CFG, SENS_TFLOW_CFG, SENS_TFMINI_CFG, SENS_ULAND_CFG, SENS_VN_CFG,
• CRSF RC Input Driver: RC_CRSF_PRT_CFG
• Sagetech MXS: MXS_SER_CFG
• Ultrawideband position sensor: UWB_PORT_CFG
• DShot driver: DSHOT_TEL_CFG

Some functions/features may define additional configuration parameters, which will follow a similar naming pattern to the port configuration prefix. For example, MAV_0_CONFIG enables MAVLink on a particular port, but you may also need to set MAV_0_FLOW_CTRL, MAV_0_FORWARD, MAV_0_MODE and so on.

포트를 설정 방법

모든 직렬 드라이버와 포트는 동일한 방식으로 설정합니다.

1. 서비스와 주변기기에 대한 매개변수를 사용할 포트로 설정하십시오.
2. 추가 설정 매개변수를 표시하기 위하여 기체를 재부팅합니다.
3. Set the baud rate parameter for the selected port to the desired value (e.g. SER_GPS1_BAUD)
4. Configure module-specific parameters (i.e. MAVLink streams and data rate configuration).

The GPS/Compass > Secondary GPS section provides a practical example of how to configure a port in QGroundControl (it shows how to use GPS_2_CONFIG to run a secondary GPS on the TELEM 2 port).

Similarly PX4 Ethernet Setup > PX4 MAVLink Serial Port Configuration explains the setup for Ethernet serial ports, and MAVLink Peripherals (OSD/GCS/Companion Computers/etc.) explains the configuration for MAVLink serial ports.

Deconflicting Ports

Port conflicts are handled by system startup, which ensures that at most one service is run on a specific port. For example, it is not possible to start a MAVLink instance on a specific serial device, and then launch a driver that uses the same serial device.

WARNING

At time of writing there is no user feedback about conflicting ports.

Default Serial Port Configuration

TIP

These port mappings can be disabled by setting the associated configuration parameter to Disabled.

The following ports are commonly mapped to specific functions on all boards:

• GPS 1 is configured as a GPS port (using GPS_1_CONFIG).

  The default baud rate is set in the gps driver by the value of SER_GPS1_BAUD, which has a default rate of Auto. With this setting a GPS will automatically detect the baudrate — except for the Trimble MB-Two, which you will need to explicitly set to 115200 baud rate.

• RC IN is configured as an RC input (using RC_PORT_CONFIG).

• TELEM 1 is configured as a MAVLink serial port suitable for connection to a GCS via a telemetry module.

  The configuration uses MAV_0_CONFIG to set the port, MAV_0_RATE to set the baud rate to 57600, and MAV_0_MODE to set the messages streamed to "Normal". For more information see: MAVLink Peripherals (OSD/GCS/Companion Computers/etc.).

• TELEM 2 is configured by default as a MAVLink serial port suitable for connection to an Onboard/Companion computer via a wired connection.

  The configuration uses MAV_1_CONFIG to set the port, MAV_1_RATE to set the baud rate, and MAV_1_MODE to set the messages streamed to "Onboard". For more information see: MAVLink Peripherals (OSD/GCS/Companion Computers/etc.).

• Ethernet is mapped as a MAVLink port on Pixhawk devices that have an Ethernet port.

  The configuration uses MAV_2_CONFIG and appropriate settings for the UDP port etc. For more information see PX4 Ethernet Setup > PX4 MAVLink Serial Port Configuration and MAVLink Peripherals (OSD/GCS/Companion Computers/etc.).

• USB-C (the USB-C port normally used for connecting to QGroundControl)

  This is configured by default as a MAVLink port the onboard profile (for companion computers). The configuration for MAVLink is unique to this port (it doesn't use the MAV_X_CONFIG parameters).

  • SYS_USB_AUTO sets whether the port is set to no partiular protocol, autodetects the protocol, or sets the comms link to MAVLink.
  • USB_MAV_MODE sets the MAVLink profile that is used if MAVLink is set or detected.

Other ports generally have no assigned functions by default (are disabled).

문제 해결

Configuration Parameter Missing from QGroundControl

QGroundControl only displays the parameters for services/drivers that are present in firmware. 펌웨어에 누락된 매개변수를 추가할 수 있습니다.

INFO

PX4 firmware includes most drivers by default on Pixhawk-series boards. 플래시 제한 보드는 드라이버를 주석 처리하거나 생략할 수 있습니다(작성 시점에는 FMUv2 기반 보드에만 영향을 미침).

You can include the missing driver in firmware by enabling the driver in the default.px4board config file that corresponds to the board you want to build for. For example, to enable the SRF02 driver, you would a the following line to the px4board.

CONFIG_DRIVERS_DISTANCE_SENSOR_SRF02=y

An easier method would be using boardconfig which launches a GUI where you can easily search, disable and enable modules. To launch boardconfig type:

make <vendor>_<board>_<label> boardconfig

You will then need to build the firmware for your platform, as described in Building PX4 Software.
