I just wanted to know that the new quad I will be making, Using Pixhawk 6C Mini, so, Which combination will be the best if I am not a beginner in UAVs? Mission planner with ardupilot firmware Or Q Ground Control with PX4 firmware? Which one offers more features/stability? And where lies the core difference between the two? ---

Actually mission planner is the interface I am quite used to. But now I also think that, shifting from APM 2.8 to Pixhawk 6C Mini is a big chance for me! And so should I try Experimenting with Q Ground Control? Because I am completely new to Q Ground Control interface. Please any opinions? ---

Please any opinions!? ---

Are people not active on this platform or what? From 3 days no one is replying even for a simple question? ---

I mean to say that I am active on Arduino Forum, Ardupilot forum and there, the community actively participates in any type of discussions, even if the doubt is of any kind, they share the source where we can get solutions and resolved! But here … Offcourse I am not a px4 user, I have only excelled in Mission planner, so I was just taking an idea or opinion from the people here about which software to use in my new quad. Leave. Let’s end this so called discussion here and I am happy with ardupilot with MP only. Bye ---

I am adding this reply as other users could come across this post. Both Ardupilot and PX4 run and are compatible with 6C mini. Holybro 6C mini is also a supported board by PX4 community at the time of writing this thread reply. Preferences depends on the user end and licensing concerns. Regarding the GCS choice, QGC can be used with either PX4 or Ardupilot. Again this is a matter of preference. ---

In this community, we try to avoid comparing flight stacks and make hardware recommendations. Having said that: - Make sure you test both flight stacks - Test both ground stations with both flight stacks - Choose what you think works best for you - Have fun! Whatever you decide, you won’t make the wrong choice. Both platforms are reliable and stable.
