Latest Releases
PX4 v1.16 Stable Release
PX4 v1.16 reimagines rover support with dedicated firmware for Ackermann, differential, and mecanum drive types, all built on the same pure-pursuit guidance library for smooth, reliable path following. Simulation gets a major stability boost with the move to Gazebo Harmonic LTS, and flight controllers can now take advantage of bidirectional DShot for real-time motor feedback. Developers will benefit from the new ROS 2 Message Translation Node for handling message versioning on the fly, as well as built-in log encryption that stores keys alongside the log file for better security. Add in new sensor drivers, expanded hardware support, and improvements across control, estimation, and safety systems, and you have a release that delivers both big features and solid polish. Thanks to every contributor, tester, and community member who made v1.16 possible.

”ARK Electronics officially joined Dronecode in 2023 after many years of working with the community. Participating in open standards committees and PX4 firmware development has enabled us to grow and support drone manufacturers in the USA and around the world. We look forward to continued collaboration and seeing where open source can take the drone industry.
