# mRo Pixracer
PX4 does not manufacture this (or any) autopilot. Contact the [manufacturer](https://store.mrobotics.io/) for hardware support or compliance issues.
The Pixhawk® XRacer board family is optimized for small racing quads and planes. In contrast to Pixfalcon and Pixhawk it has in-built WiFi, new sensors, convenient full servo headers, CAN and supports 2M flash.
提示
This autopilot is supported by the PX4 maintenance and test teams.

# 在哪里买
Pixracer is available from the mRobotics.io (opens new window).
Accessories include:
# Kit
The Pixracer is designed to use a separate avionics power supply. This is necessary to avoid current surges from motors or ESCs to flow back to the flight controller and disturb its delicate sensors.
- Power module (with voltage and current sensing)
- I2C splitter (supporting AUAV, Hobbyking and 3DR® peripherals)
- Cable kit for all common peripherals
# Wifi (no USB required)
One of the main features of the board is its ability to use Wifi for flashing new firmware, system setup and in-flight telemetry. This frees it of the need of any desktop system.
注解
Firmware upgrade is not yet enabled over WiFi (it is supported by the default bootloader but not yet enabled). Setup and telemetry are supported.
# Assembly
See the Pixracer Wiring Quickstart
# Wiring Diagrams
注解
If using TELEM2
for an external telemetry module you will need to configure it as a MAVLink serial port. For more information see: Pixracer Wiring Quickstart > External Telemetry
# Connectors
All connectors follow the Pixhawk connector standard (opens new window). Unless noted otherwise all connectors are JST GH.

# Building Firmware
提示
Most users will not need to build this firmware! It is pre-built and automatically installed by QGroundControl when appropriate hardware is connected.
To build PX4 for this target:
make px4_fmu-v4_default
