PX4 Beta Announcement

Integrating a flight stack into the rest of your tooling—simulations, test benches, ground tools—has always been harder than it should be. The Pictorus PX4 Beta is here to help. It’s an open-source way to connect PX4 into Pictorus. Our integration blocks are on GitHub, free to use and adapt.

• Focus on engineering, not plumbing — We're wiring frameworks together.
• Built for PX4 users — if you are flying Pixhawk-class hardware, the workflow is straightforward.
• Open source and extensible — The integration layer is public. Modify, fork, or extend it as your system evolves.

What’s in the Beta

• uORB pub/sub blocks — publish and subscribe directly from your models.
• uLog automation — logging without extra work.
• Parameter pass-throughs — configure cleanly.
• Rust static library generation — models compile down into a Rust library.
• PX4 module template — a simple entry point calling into Rust.

What Works Today

• Pixhawk-class hardware
• PX4 module generation from models

In Development

• Over-the-air deployment
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HITL)

Join the Beta

• Try it out — run the PX4 beta and see how much integration overhead disappears.
• Explore the code — the integration layer is yours to adapt.
• Give feedback — if something doesn’t fit, we’ll improve it.
