Holybro X500 v2 PX4 Drone Documentation

This repository contains all documentation, configuration notes, and technical references for my Holybro X500 v2 PX4-based quadcopter.

The goal is to create a complete, long-term knowledge base for:

• Hardware configuration
• Wiring diagrams
• ExpressLRS integration
• MAVLink telemetry setup
• Flight tuning
• Troubleshooting

🚁 Drone Overview

Frame: Holybro X500 v2 Flight Controller: Pixhawk 6C Mini Firmware: PX4 v1.16 RC Link: ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz Receiver: RP3-H Diversity Receiver

📡 Key Feature: MAVLink over ExpressLRS

This drone uses a single RF link for both:

• RC control
• MAVLink telemetry

This eliminates the need for a separate telemetry radio.
