Raspberry Pi drones are an amazing platform for tinkerers who want to get their ideas into the world. But they need a flight controller in order to work.
In this video we walk through how to set up a drone with the very popular pixhawk flight controller! These little boards are a little old, but are super cheap, still advanced, and very reliable (even more reliable than Navio2 raspberry pi drones).
