Preface: The PX4 is a professional autopilot. Developed by world-class developers from industry and academia and supported by an active worldwide community, it powers a variety of vehicles from racing and cargo drones to ground vehicles and submersibles.
Background: What is needed to control a drone using PX4 flight controller?
-A computer with Internet Access.
-Linux operating system (I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, you can use the operating system you want, but since I am also doing source code development, Linux will make my days a lot easier).
-A PX4 autopilot (Pixhawk, Pixfalcon, HK Pilot 32, Pixracer) with micro usb cable.
-Your drone.
-A pair of telemetry modules (optional).
