Makerfire USX51 AI flight controller puts Ubuntu Linux and ROS2 brains inside industrial drones

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://nerds.xyz/2026/04/makerfire-usx51-ai-drone-controller/

Heute kamen endlich die restlichen Teile für mein KI-Lager-Drohnen-Inventur-Projekt für das #ConceptOffice #ERP aus Tschechien an.

Maja und Willi haben ja schon gezeigt, dass sie autonom vom KI-Server gesteuert Regale abfliegen können und das KI-System anhand der Kamerabilder die Artikel zählen.

Die beiden Spielzeug-Drohnen haben Pionierarbeit geleistet aber nun ist es Zeit für „professionelle“ Hardware im Format 2,5“ CineWhoop.

...For about a minute and twenty seconds, before I crashed it into a tree.

This has been my most successful flight so far.

Maybe next time I'll land instead of crashing.

Ardupilot problems: I thought I was ready to fly, but the motor refused to spin up.

I calibrated the ESC again, and it worked... until I rebooted.

I can't get the ESC to respond to the flight controller without running through the calibration first, which I shouldn't have to do every time I change a battery.

It's like it forgets the calibration every time it loses power.

So I'm counting on the forums to help me solve it.

#Ardupilot

I think I got everything calibrated?

QGroundControl said "Ready to Fly" and let me "Arm" the motor, but when I tried spinning up the throttle nothing happened.

Not sure why. I'll keep checking tomorrow.

Будущее БПЛА: бикоптеры, народный автопилот, сверхскоростные ИИ-дроны

Трудно найти на инженерных форумах более горячую тему, чем БПЛА. Технический прогресс в этой области идёт даже не по годам, а по месяцам. Может, быстрее, чем в хайповой сфере LLM. За несколько лет беспилотники выросли до интеллектуальных сверхманёвренных систем с продвинутым машинным зрением. Развивается опенсорсный софт, такой как программа-автопилот ArduPilot (на КДПВ), нашумевшая 1 июня 2025 года благодаря «перфомансу» в РФ. Посмотрим на некоторые перспективные разработки БПЛА и что нас ждёт в будущем.

Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb launched over 100 FPV drones targeting Russian airbases, using open-source ArduPilot software. Co-founder Chris Anderson was surprised to hear their creation played a role in the attack. Open source continues to shape modern technology and warfare. #OpenSource #Ukraine #Russia #DroneAttack #ArduPilot #OperationSpiderweb"

Ukraine’s drone attack on Russia used open-source software, ‘upset’ developer says wanted to make flying robots: ‘not in a million years…’ https://www.byteseu.com/1075588/ #ArduPilot #ArduPilotSoftware #ChrisAndersonArduPilot #DroneStrikesUkraine #OpenSourceSoftware #RussiaStrategicBombers #UAVAutopilotTechnology #Ukraine #UkraineDroneAttack

Open-source code just changed modern warfare. Ukraine used the hobbyist-built ArduPilot platform to fly 100+ drones and cripple Russia's strategic bomber fleet—no Starlink, no warheads, just code.

#Ukraine's Massive #Drone Attack Was Powered by #OpenSource #Software
20-year-old piece of open source drone #autopilot software called #ArduPilot used by hobbyist drones powered an attack that wiped out a third of #Russia’s strategic long range #bombers on Sunday afternoon, in one of the most daring and technically coordinated attacks in the #war.
It wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last.

Die freie Software #ArduPilot spielte bei der "Aktion #Spinnennetz" der #Ukraine gegen russische Langstreckenbomber eine entscheidende Rolle.

My new #readymaderc STRIX Stratosurfer is built (except for the servo linkages). Matek H743-WLITE running #ardupilot, M9N GPS + compass, airspeed sensor. Thinking I'll add a LIDAR rangefinder to the belly to see if automated landing works. But I'll be flying it mostly in fully manual mode because watching it gently glide across the sky under my control is so satisfying and relaxing. #radiocontrol #radiocontrolplane #rcplane

Normal :ubuntu: #Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on the #RaspberryPi Zero W 2 works properly and doesn't exhibit the USB stack crash and freezes after connecting and communicating with an #ArduPilot USB device. So the decision now is between Ubuntu and :nixos: #NixOS. 😉

Fascinating to see the :raspberrypi: #RaspberryPi Zero W2 with #RaspberryPiOS freeze up beyond any hope when communicating with any #ArduPilot hardware (Cube Orange, mRo control zero, Matek, ...) via USB. No/less problems via USB-FTDI or UART.

We're approaching the conclusion that ArduPilot must send some data sequence that uniquely knocks our the Rpi Zero. Big Pi, no problem, other firmware on the autopilot, no problem.

Might try :nixos: #NixOS tomorrow 🤷

Miksi noi flight controllerit on niin kalliita?!

Siis, foorumit on pullollaan juttuja vuosien takaa kun ne on maksaneet kymppejä.

Nyt ei löydy montaakaan mallia joka olis alle 100e ja kalleimmat maksaa melkein tonnin.

Mitä hittoa?!

Harkinnassa olisi SpeedyBeeF405WING ihan käypään 70€ hintaan, mutta ardupilot wikin mukaan siinäkin on liian vähän muistia kaikkiin ominaisuuksiin.

Perskuta.

#lennokit #ArduPilot

@coreysnipes

We bring a simple 'table top' #UAS.

1. #UAV : A #BeagleBone Blue attached to a quad frame running either #ArduPilot or #PX4. We exploit network services and misconfigured firmware update

2. #GCS : Android phone and gamepad joystick controller running #QGroundControl. We exploit vulnerable apps on the phone.

3. COMMS: WiFi via the BB-Blue access point. We crack the #WiFi password and sniff #MAVLink off the air

The subtext is to demonstrate vulns in each of these subsystems and how you can use those to pivot from one to another.

Our audiences have varied from vendor sales and mgmt at Xponential to more technically mixed folks at BlackHat. Gonna be challenged to make it interesting for the technical audience at #PX4. But many UAS software engineers haven't really been exposed to how cybersecurity folks think and test, so I hope they find that fun.
