ADS-B uAvionix

PX4 Autopilot
1

Hey All,
I am tryting to use the onboard Uavionix on the ADS-B Carrier Board with Cube Orange+
Cube orange+
PX4 v1.15.4
according to the Datasheet thats provided the Sensor is connected to Serial5,

  1. I am unable to use serial5 because PX4 basic Firmware is not supporting it.
  2. I have tried to find ADS-B paramters without luck to find any.
  3. I have tried to use the Application settings without any luck.
    Please guide me on how to enable it and use it,

Thanks,
Shlomi

Hang on, so you want ADS-B support? This should work out of the box. Let me double check and get back to you.

I flashed v1.15.4 and by default there is a mavlink instance started on /dev/ttyS4 which talks to the ADS-B receiver:

(You can see the serial port mapping in NuttX and PX4 here: CubePilot Cube Orange+ Flight Controller | PX4 Guide (main))

This is what I can see in the NuttShell, in QGC → Analyze Tools → MAVLink Console
