标准配置

This section covers the common software configuration and calibration needed for most PX4 vehicles.

You must first load firmware and select your vehicle frame/type. Most other steps can be done out of order, except for tuning, which must be done last.

Preconditions

Before starting you should Download QGroundControl and install it on your desktop computer. Then open the QGC application menu ("Q" icon in the top-left corner) and choose Vehicle Setup in the Select Tool popup:

Configuration Steps
