These wiring examples show what peripherals can be used/added to pxIMU. Of course more and different setups are possible, but it should help you to get an idea.
pxCOMex: COM Express and pxOvero: Gumstix Overo MAV
Minimal Setup for Quadrotor / Aircraft / Helicopter
The minimal setup requires a pxIMU: Autopilot and IMU. The output to the servos is done directly from pxIMU and the system is powered from a 5V BEC or motor controller. As four servo outputs are available, many aircraft, all coaxia…

While we're still waiting for the last quotes to get pxIMU ready for the batch production, we'd like to share how we build the prototypes ourselves. It is actually quite easy and cheap. We are already working on the new pxServo board, which will have servo outputs on standard servo ports and a connector for the ArduPilot / DIYDrones GPS modules. It will be also available with a 5V / 2.25A (12.5W) power module mounted, but still be smaller than pxPower. This combination should satisfy all use…

[PIXHAWK Cheetah Quadrotor]
In contrast to the typical hobby design where a human pilot controls the quadrotor, the PIXHAWK Cheetah design is controlled by Computer Vision Flight software.
Overall System Summary
* Rotor-tip-to-rotor-tip (maximum dimension): 550 mm
* All-up-weight: 980g (2100 mAh battery option), 1000g (2600 mA battery option), 1030g (3100 mA battery option)
* Total height: 240 mm
* CPU: 2x 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 DUO (27W peak consumption, 20W average)
* RAM: 2048 MB …

Quadrotors are aircraft that use four counter-rotating rotors in a cross-like shape to liftoff. Two rotors spin clockwise, two counter clockwise. Because of this property, a quadrotor can be controlled without any additional control rotor or surface. We are developing two quadrotor designs: Our high-end Cheetah system with fast onboard computer vision and the more community-geared low cost design.

This page describes the approach of the PIXHAWK system for computer vision based indoor high accuracy flight of a quadrotor. This system type is aerodynamically undamped and the indoor application needs high precision and robustness. These special requirements led to the development of an integrated system design offering the required low latency, speed and robustness.

The PIXHAWK middleware / robotics toolkit is a heterogenous system consisting of an image processing and communication architecture for computer vision based flight control. It is used in the PIXHAWK project since EMAV 2009 and fully autonomous flight was first demonstrated in July 2010 at the International Conference and Competition on Micro Air Vehicles using the Cheetah Quadrotor quadrotor platform.
