The Pixracer (formerly called XRacer) is fully supported by the Arducopter and
PX4 community. It’s a genuine open source project, already running with PX 4
stack software / QGroundControl (QGC), as well with Arducopter / Mission Planner
(MP).
The Pixracer is fully compatible to Ardupilot and Mission Planner as well to the
great alternative PX4 Flight stack and QGroundControl (QGC).
Furthermore it’s fully compatible to all Pixhawk and to most APM externals as
Telemetry units, OSD, GPS, Sonar, Lidar, Airspeed sensors. Since all connectors
and wiring is included with the Pixracer, it’s easy to build adapter cables for 3rd
party stuff as well, with the charts shown below

1. ACSP4 (36 x 36mm power distribution, current, voltage sensor with 5V/2.5A ultra low
noise buck and 12V/2A ultra low noise buck) companion is available as well. The former
3DR Power module is working as well, but don´t use cheap clones with reversed
connectors w/o checking the pin out. (See image below)

ESP8266 ESP-01 Wifi Board plugged in. It’s included! The ESP8266 is working
already with QGC (QGroundControl) and Android out-of-the-box, there´s no need
for another radio. The only thing which doesn´t work yet is Firmware update via
Android. For the download of the QGC Android
App https://play.google.com/apps/testing...qgroundcontrol it’s required to sign up
@ QGC user group https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/qgroundcontrol
Pins marked with Red Cross are for future use. Do not connect ESP-01 there!

For flashing the bootloader, firmware and debugging, the cheap STM32 Nucleo or STM
LINK-V2 boards can be used (http://mbed.org/platforms/?tvend=10 ).
The Pixracer V1 board is supplied with FMU bootloader flashed, so one doesn’t need to
flash it again.

There are 2 LEDs on the Pixracer V1 board –Power LED (GREEN) and RGB status
LED.
5. POWERING Pixracer V1
There are two power inputs – USB (only for programming and testing) and Power
from the Power connector.
