## OVERVIEW The benefits of the Pixhawk system include integrated multithre ading, a Unix/Linux-like programming environment, complet ely new autopilot functions suc h as sophisticated scripting of missions and flight behavior, and a custom PX4 driver layer ens uring tight timing across all processes. These adv anced capabilitie s ensure that there are no limitations to your autonomous vehicle. Pixhawk allows existing APM and PX4 operators to seaml essly transition to this system and lowers the barriers to entry for new users to participate i n the exciting world of autonomous vehicles. The flagship Pixhawk module will be accompanied by new peripher al options, including a digital airspeed sensor, support for an ex ternal multi-color LED indica tor and an external magnetometer. All peripherals are automatica lly detected and configured. Documentation and User Guides (ht tp://3drobotics.com/learn/pixha wk-autopilot-system/)

11 / 10 / 201 5 https://store.3drobot ics.com/products/3dr -pixhawkNote: Pixhawk is a PPM-input autopilot, which means that it gets RC i nput from a single cable to the receiver, either via the PP M port, the Futaba S.BUS port, o r the special sate llite receiver port for Spektrum gear. Most modern RC receivers (and all those sold by 3D Robotics) allow for PPM output, but some, such as non-S.BU S Futaba receivers, do not. I f your receiver does not support PPM output, please add a PPM encoder board (http://store.3drobot ics.com/products/ppm-encoder) option to your order below.
