What are the multi-axis flight controls used for? ——Analysis of popular technologies and market trends in 2024

With the rapid development of drone technology, the core component of multi-copter aircraft - flight controller (Flight Controller) has become the focus of the industry. This article will combine the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days to conduct a structured analysis of the current mainstream flight control hardware configuration, software ecology and selection points.

1. Hardware configuration: Comparison of mainstream flight control core components

2. Software Ecology: Comparison of Open Source and Commercial Systems

3. Hot technology trends in 2024

1.AI integration: The latest version of PX4 1.14 adds a new machine learning module to support visual obstacle avoidance algorithms.

2.5G Internet: DJI Matrice 350 RTK has achieved 5G remote control latency <50ms

3.edge computing: NVIDIA Jetson TX2 has gradually become the standard co-processor for industrial flight control

4. Consumer Buying Guide

•Beginner user: Recommended Betaflight F7 + DJI O3 image transmission combination (cost about ¥2000)

•professional developer: It is recommended to choose Pixhawk 6X (dual redundant design, supports ROS 2)

•Industry application: Consider DJI M300 RTK Enterprise Package (including omnidirectional obstacle avoidance)

5. Controversial Topic: Open Source VS Closed Source

Recent forum discussions show that 75% of developers support open source flight control, but commercial solutions still have an advantage in terms of stability. It is worth noting that Huawei has recently open sourced the "Tianshu" flight control code, which may change the existing pattern.
