Hello 

I'm interested in diving into the development of the control system for the RB5 drone, or potentially even altering its existing control system. However, I'm uncertain about where to begin and how to proceed with this endeavor. If anyone has experience in this area or can offer guidance, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Specifically, I'm looking for information on:

1. Starting Point: Where should I begin my journey into understanding and potentially modifying the control system of the RB5 drone?
  
2. Modification Process: What steps are involved in altering the existing control system, and are there any resources or tools that could aid in this process?

3. Community or Resources: Are there any existing communities, forums, or online resources dedicated to the development or modification of drone control systems, particularly for the RB5 model?

Any advice, tips, or pointers you can provide would be immensely helpful as I embark on this project. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Drone: RB5
hw version: M0052
voxl-suite: 1.1.2
PX4 Version: 1.14.0dev

@Moderator Thank you, as I understand you are using PID controller for the stability of the drone (RB5), I would like to use my control method, like (MPC, RL..), where should I go inside the drone?

@Amin-Bassiri The RB5 drone uses the PX4 autopilot software https://px4.io/
