之前我们在做BetaFlight开源工程结构简明介绍的时候，有过一张开源飞控的介绍图谱。
从这张图谱我们看到基本上有5条轴线：
- Pixhawk // PX4
- Ardupilot
- OpenPilot
- MultiWii // baseflight/cleanflight/betaflight
- Paparazzi
BaseFlight/CleanFlight/BetaFlight目前在穿越机上的应用比较广泛。穿越机通常是小型机，比如：5寸以下。且整体起飞重量都比较轻，置空时间通常也就10分钟~30分钟范围。
航拍，无人巡航的角度，不是仅仅RC控制，更多功能需要通过地面站的接入处理。从这个角度来说，PX4就有很好的优势（这篇文章主要是介绍PX4，其他当然也有很好的Paparazzi等）。
1. PX4开发环境介绍
整个PX4开发环境可以用于非常多的实例：
- Pixhawk和NuttX-based硬件
- jMAVSim 仿真
- Gazebo 仿真
- Raspberry Pi
- ROS (Robotics Operating System)
- Fast DDS - Required for ROS2
注：这里主要介绍基于Ubuntu 20.04 LTS （Focal Fossa）的搭建。
2. PX4开发环境搭建
2.1代码下载
$ git clone https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot.git --recursive
2.2 国内环境调整
这些东西都是国外的，国内整体情况（比如：网络等）不理想，因此需要做一些调整。
- 调整ubuntu本地apt升级路径：aliyun

2.3 建立ubuntu开发环境
$ bash ./PX4-Autopilot/Tools/setup/ubuntu.sh
注：如果缺少2.2步骤，将会遇到非常多莫名其妙的问题，大体还是网络问题。
2.4 构建jMAVSim仿真
$ make px4_sitl jmavsim
2.5 补充版本信息
目前，使用git最新版本：
commit ffb0097052227e1b7dc2665463b6b9de33bbf835 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: CR <christopher.ruwisch@tu-berlin.de>
Date: Wed Jun 22 21:50:30 2022 +0200
removed unused code - _constrainOneSide and _constrainAbs
这个版本在实际使用过程存在一个问题，当2.4编译成功后，无法看到模拟GUI界面，主要是缺少ant组件，导致脚本jmavsim_run.sh的73行代码无法执行。
PX4-Autopilot/Tools/jmavsim_run.sh +73
ant create_run_jar copy_res
所以请确认ant是否已经安装：
$ sudo apt-get install ant

3.2 命令实例
举例：
commander takeoff //起飞
commander land //降落
注：由于我的遥控器距离有问题，去维修了（四轴飞控DIY集成FPV功能），有兴趣的朋友可以跑下QGroundControl。后续有时间再做更新！！！
4. QGroundControl & RC遥控模拟配置
上次我们说过要做后续更新，更新就是如何基于模拟器来简单实现一些基本飞控操作。这个主要还是在于PX4模块设计之一：SITL & HITL模拟框架。这里主要还是基于SITL这个框架做了一个QGroundControl远程连接，以及QGroundControl上连接一个模拟遥控器（采用BetaFlight KakuteF7 + ELRS遥控，真实设备）
注：BetaFlight固件（4.2.11）是支持作为模拟器输入，便于更好的使用仿真软件来学习手动飞行。
4.1 QGroundControl配置
新建一个连接，并将配置接到SITL的18570端口上。这样PX4 SITL软件可以跑在一台电脑（通常大家习惯Windows系统）上，而编译系统（Ubuntu 20.4）编译PX4 SITL跑在编译机器上做仿真。
具体QGroundControl的配置如下，记得使用前一定要Connect哦！！！
注：QGroundControl使用
4.2 RC遥控器配置
首先，要根据4.1章节，先Connect；这样Vehicle Setup才会出来。出来以后接上自己的模拟遥控器咯，把USB插上去就OK了。
看到设备以后，第一次一定要校准。
