[yanshof]

I finally received my Pixhawk board.

I connect to the Pixhawk board with usb to my machine ( install all the drivers ) and i see that the

Pixhawk board is connected ( see it on Mission Planner application )



I want to learn how to develop on this board.

I want to write a code to this board.



How to start ?

Where can i find a basic examples ?

I try to use 'PX4 Toolchain' but using the 'Tera tern vt' and also using ''HTerm" application return to me some 'geebrish' un readable chars.

Hi Yanshoft,
Your pixhawk board need a firmware to do its work properly. You can choose between ArduCopter Copter Home — Copter documentation and PX4 Open Source for Drones - PX4 Pro Open Source Autopilot
Then you choose a software to set up the firmware of your bard in accordance with your frame and your projects. QgroundControl or Mission PLanner.
But you can go for one or an other and try both before making up your mind.
There is a lot of possibility to programm your vehicule using this software. If you want to do more, then you can go with dronekit.io that give you real power on your development.
For the PX4 toochain, you'd rather use Linux, Git and Eclipse. Try this for help Toolchain Installation · PX4 Devguide
Hope this help, it's very basic answer, but as you say you're starting...
