I’ve put together a step by step guide on using the PX4-6C flight controller with a Jetson Nano over the TELEM2 port using serial communication. The Jetson Nano is using ROS2 Foxy, and Fast-RTPS-Gen and the V6C is using firmware 1.13.3 with a semi-custom RTPS firmware file. Took me a while to figure out the correct way to get them talking so figured I’d share for anyone else interested/ stuck on the same problem.

Here is the link, let me know if it helped or if there’s something missing from the process. I tried to be as inclusive as possible.
