Initial Setup & Configuration

我们建议开发者们获取下文描述的基本配置的硬件设备（或者相似的设备）并使用"默认" 机架 构型。

基本设备

TIP

PX4 can be used with a much wider range of equipment than described here, but new developers will benefit from going with one of the standard setups. A Taranis RC and a mid-range Android tablet make a very inexpensive field kit.

飞机配置流程：

• RC controller for the safety pilot

  • Taranis Plus RC control (or equivalent)

• Development computer

  INFO

  The listed computers have acceptable performance, but a more recent and powerful computer is recommended.

:::

• Lenovo Thinkpad with i5-core running Windows 11

• MacBook Pro (early 2015 and later) with macOS 10.15 or later

• Lenovo Thinkpad i5 with Ubuntu Linux 20.04 or later

• Ground control station (computer or tablet):

  • iPad (may require Wifi telemetry adapter)
  • 任意 MacBook 或者 Ubuntu Linux 笔记本电脑（可使用开发用计算机兼任）
  • A recent mid-range Android tablet or phone with a large enough screen to run QGroundControl effectively (6 inches).

• Vehicle capable of running PX4:

  • Get a prebuilt vehicle
  • Build your own

• Safety glasses

• Tether (multicopter only - for more risky tests)

飞机配置

Install the QGroundControl Daily Build for a desktop OS.

To configure the vehicle:

1. Install PX4 firmware (including "custom" firmware with your own changes).
2. Start with the airframe that best-matches your vehicle from the airframe reference.
3. Basic Configuration explains how to perform basic configuration.
4. Parameter Configuration explains how you can find and modify individual parameters.

INFO

• QGroundControl mobile variants do not support vehicle configuration.
• The daily build includes development tools and new features that are not available in the official release.
• Configuration in the airframe reference have been flown on real vehicles, and are a good starting point for "getting off the ground".
