PX4 is platform independent autopilot software (or a software stack / firmware) that can fly or drive Unmanned Aerial or Ground Vehicles ( UAV / UGV ). It is loaded (flashed) on certain hardware and together with Ground Control Station it makes a fully autonomous autopilot system.

Fixes:

 - RTL: If the copter was facing away from home it would first drift off until it yawed towards home before flying back to home properly

- Yaw handling on multicopter: The multicopter used a code path shared with VTOL and was in a suboptimal yaw control mode

- Fixed wing: Large mixer configs were not loading correctly and aborted boot. Although not safety critical, it was locking out some fixed wing users from the last release

- Pixracer: Enable FrSky telemetry and MAVLink OSD telemetry by default on the TELEM2 (OSD) and FrSky ports

- Pixracer: Remove a glitch during system boot on the PWM lines

- Lots of other smaller fixes and improvements

About Device Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release. 

It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available

Do not forget to check with our site as often as possible in order to stay updated on the latest drivers, software and games

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver

This will help if you installed a wrong driver

Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer
