The [PX4 software stack](http://github.com/px4/firmware) is an open source flight controller that runs on various
hardware. There is a terrific website at [px4.dev.io](http://px4.dev.io) that gives you tons of information about the PX4 stack
hardware (see below for a list). There is a terrific website at [px4.dev.io](http://px4.dev.io) that gives you tons of information about the PX4 stack

One nice tid bit is you can plug in your pixhawk USB, and type `make px4fmu-v2_default upload` to flash the
hardware with these brand new bits, so you don't need to use QGroundControl for that.
