Can I use Pixhawk6C instead of Pixhawk4 when using UAV toolbox support packages for PX4 autopilots?

Hello, I'm Seungwoo Park who is studying a multicopter in Korea

I'm using UAV toolbox supports packages for PX4 Autopilots in MATLAB 2022a.

And I'm trying to buy a Piahawk4 and follow the example, but currently Pixhawk4 is discontinued and I only can buy Pixhawk 6C.

I was wondering if I could follow the example using Pixhawk6C instead of Pixhawk4.

And can I set the hardware setting to Pixhawk4 and use the actual hardware as Pixhawk6C?

Unfortunately, there is no way at the moment to use Pixhawk 6c with our support package. We are actively working on this and will let user know once the support is live.

Oh.. That's a bad news.. Thanks for your replying.

Oh, I have a one more question. When i use pixhawk v5 instead of pihawk4, it works well.

So, Is there any problem that i set the hardware setting to Pixhawk4 and use the actual hardware as Pixhawk v5?

[Angelo Yeo]

It might work in MATLAB as you mentioned but Pixhawk v5 is not "officially" supported yet.

We are currently working on developing support for Pixhawk 6c. BTW, we don have support for Pixhawk 6x board in R2023a. So if you can get your hands on a Pixhawk 6x board, you shoule be good to use that board
