Hello All,

Could you please confirm the following items in my configuration?

  1. M9N GPS Secondary GPS (6-Pin)
  2. RadioMaster R86C V2 Receiver
  3. RadioMaster TX16S Mark II Radio Controller (Mode 2)
  4. X500 V2 Kits
  5. Pixhawk 6X (ICM-45686) Standard v2A / PM02D

I want to ensure they all work together.

Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

Check whether this receiver function properly with PX4, because sometimes, PX4 does not recognize the receiver and then you won’t be able to calibrate radio from QGC.

Hi @Dhruvil Yes I will try to validate with Holybro.

Regards to the GPS I picked, is it okay that it is 6 pin? There is also 10 pin one.

Lastly, are there ay lidar sensor recommendations for the above configuration?

Thank you,

Mustafa

The GPS you have mentioned is for second GPS. go with 10 pin GPS, if you have only one GPS.
There are some ready to use LiDAR documented on PX4 website. The selection depends on your budget and accuracy you are aiming for.
