Project Board

Community Q&A / PRs for Review

Q1: Can EKF2 be used with any kinds of vehicles or it is designed for a specific ones?

Q2: Could we gather references in a more organized way or centralized?

Q3: Is there any way to contribute as a dev if new to the community?

Discussed PRs:

  1. septentrio: implement jamming/spoofing state by alexcekay · Pull Request #25084 · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub

Discussed Issues:

  1. Board supports level might be needed to be organized at all levels of QGC, User Guides and Code to help users find their ways better choosing boards. Right now it is a bit confusing for new users whom are planning to choose hardware.
