Make Your Own Pixhawk Raspberry Pi Drone in 36 Minutes (2020) | The Ultimate Project Drone

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).

[@johnwalter6410]

@@thedronedojoyou forgot to thank Scott. Remember, if he hadn’t punched you in the back of the head that time in 4th grade you would have never got the firmware update with the drone interest script included. If that didn’t happen you’d probably be a run of the milll D14 v3 and you’d be doing what all the v3 D14’s are doing. Which is working as droid cops for the CCP.

[@DanielF601]

Absolutely outstanding video, thank you. Just one small note - as at October 2021 - the Raspberry Pi headless operating system has SSH disabled by default, so the Putty session gets rejected. In case anyone else is having this problem, the solution is to add an empty text file called "ssh" (no extension) in the root of the SD card.

[@DanielF601]

To clarify: I connected the Raspberry Pi via ethernet cable rather than wifi. This might make a difference(?)

[@peterfynn]

REALLY appreciate the way you have walked me throught this somewhat complex subject. So many tubers just whip through connections as if it is nothing and you spent time going through each connection in detail - many thanks.

[@bennguyen1313]

Things get confusing with so many options, especially as things change and become obsolete.. ( ArduPilot Pixhawk Px4 Multiwii->Baseflight->Cleanflight->Betaflight / EmuFlight / iNav RaceFlight One -> FlightOne (FalcoX) MissionPlanner -> QGroundControl OpenPilot->Librepilot , DRonin MavLink ) Is there any set of hardware that works for both ArduPilot/PX4 and Beta/EmuFlight/iNav? From what I can tell there are 2 classes of hardware, the larger Pixhawk boxes, and the small-square-stacks (STM32F/H7 like the Speedybee F7V3, Mateksys H743, Kakute H7 V2).. so what setup would allow trying several firmware projects? I understand Betaflight is popular among FPV racing, and ArduPilot and iNav for autonomous/waypoints, however I'm mainly interested in: 1) Autonomous Flying (Waypoint, Lua scripting, Return-To-Home) 2) Sport-Tracking/Obstacle Avoidance (like the Skydio2+) 3) FPV and free-style / flippy-flops And how does a custom DIY build with any of the above compare to the features/performance of commercial offerings.. Eachine E520S , Skydio2+, Mavic Air 2S , or Yuneec Mantis Q?

[@Top-Jimmy]

Hi mate, Yes an update on what's obsolete and workarounds would be great, Its been awhile.

[@gregmoser2086]

I like and appreciate your videos. Very informative. One suggestion - when plugging in the Dupont connectors if you leave the metal clip part facing out it makes it easier if you ever have to diagnose pins. Gives access for meter to connect into to confirm voltage or signal

[@droneflyte777]

Very nice video! Question: Since this video is 2020 and we are now in June 2023, what updates to the info are needed, if any?

[@blakegolledge2339]

I know its been a little over a year now but I'm curious as to which Pi image you actually used for this project. I noticed your file name that you flashed to your sd card did not match the pi.img file you pulled from raspbians website. The video cuts when your preparing to flash the sd card and I noticed the image name began with Emlid. I'm familure with emlid and their line of products. Did you have to use their image to get this to work? thank you.

[@Maxspert]

Hi,very nice project!I have a very stupid question, What exactly I need to control the dron by wire instead of remote control,I´m saying because my intention is to build drone big enough to seat on it and have the same controls but communicate by wire with the drone hardware.I know you have out there many remote controls with 15-20 command buttons etc.I would like to build the same but communicate by wire

[@kennethsitcharon9626]

Just curious, is this possible on other flight controllers? There are tons of other mini flight controllers that use ardupilot and with uart connections. Thanks

[@kendeguia1750]

How long will the drone's battery last when using? And with this build, is it possible to upgrade to a higher capacity?

[@OumVinay]

Thanks for this video. Can we use USB micro port of Pixhawk and connect it to RPI USB port and control the drone...

[@nidalfayad3689]

Thanks a lot.. kindly I have one question about the installation of RPI, can we fix it far from pixhawk in the down side of the drone? and it should be in the anti-vibration panel or not necessary?

[@thedronedojo]

Hi there Nidal! Great question. The Raspberry Pi can be fixed wherever you'd like to mount it, and it doesn't have to be on the anti-vibration panel. Only the pixhawk is recommended to be on the anti-vibration panel so you can protect the IMUs.

[@joshchang1656]

Thanks for a great video!!!! One question, when picking the Pixhawk hardware I heard there is a difference between the pixhawk 4 and pixhawk 2.1 (Cube) regarding computing capacity. What are your thoughts on them if I were to pick one?

[@thedronedojo]

In my opinion their use as a flight control is very similar. The big difference is the 2.1 comes with a 'carrier' board that also may have a companion computer. In this video, the companion computer is the raspberry pi. So the 2.1 may have a raspberry pi type companion computer built in (depending on the carrier board for the cube module). Differences in computing power for the companion computers could drastically effect the complexity of functions your drone is able to perform (computer vision / AI for example).

[@faizakram3686]

I have started working on pixhawk 2.4.8 with jetson xavier. Where should I start for simulation?? Ardupilot or GCS ?

[@thedronedojo]

ArduPilot has a simulated vehicle option called "SITL" that you can test out your custom applications/code on. It runs the same firmware as the drone but runs from your computer. You can even connect it to your computer GCS with telemetry!

[@rexgordon8661]

You crack me up! Good video as usual sir!

[@moodberry]

I really liked the way you presented this. I am an amateur, and have my own commercial drones. But the commercial drones don't have some features I would like. So, how many kinds of "gee whiz" stuff can be programmed into these homemade drones? Is it possible to make one of these that rival the best of DJI, or Skydio drones? Also, would I be able to extend the flight times with better batteries? The commercial battery packs are limited to their own platforms, but something like this means I will always have access to battery power because these drones use off-the-shelf batteries. What kind of flight times have you been seeing?

Hey great video! Does the flight controller need to be pixhawk or navio2 to make a rb pi 4 drone?

Is it enough amps to power the rpi? Rpi5 require 2-3 amps and rpi 5 requires 5 amp, I dont think this is a recommended way to power rpi up, any other options?

[@TheJacklwilliams]

Ok I'm beyond stoked to find this as I'm learning python (career related), bought my first 3d printer recently, and? I'm insanely interested in creating my own drones. You got mad game but, what freaks me out about this and my "low low budget" is sticky tape? Anyway, thanks so much, for ALL OF THIS.

[@thedronedojo]

Wow Jack, so this is the ultimate cross section of interests for you!! Awesome. Appreciate the compliments. I can see why some would be scared of the sticky tape mounting method, but that stuff is actually really robust- and best of all really fast to implement! Depending on what type of stick tape you use of course. I totally get those who would prefer more permanent methods however- especially if this was for an industrial application.

[@evangelosaraouzos1430]

Nice job on your videos! Is there a limit on how fast can i send commands to the Pixhawk from the raspberry? Will the Pixhawk bottleneck the system?

[@VladOnEarth]

Very nice tutorial, however, I still don't get it, what is the point of hooking up a rpi to a pixhawk? Actual practical point I mean. Wireless communication with a drone? Then why not just get a bt or wifi dingle for the FC?

[@thedronedojo]

Hi there @Vlad! It is a good question. Hooking up the RPI to the Pixhawk allows you to do much more advanced things than what just he Pixhawk alone could do. For example, you can run computer vision scripts on the Pi to influence the flight controlled on the Pixhawk. Or even connect an IoT SIM card shield to the RPI to get rangeless connection for better fleet management and control. A lot of possibilities with hooking up a companion computer to the pixhawk.

Before i spend some time here i have question. Why is good to use something with pixhawk, when pixhawk itself is able to control drone ?

[@thedronedojo]

That is an excellent question, Jan! The main advantage of using the Rasbperry Pi with the Pixhawk is that you are able to program the drone with custom scripts or missions. For example, you can connect a camera to the RPI, have it track an object on the ground with computer vision, then in the script use that input to command the pixhawk to fly over the marker. Basically it gives you complete control over custom missions that wouldn't be available with just a pixhawk build. Hope this clears things up!
