OpenPilot

[Lurker]

OpenPilot is a next-generation Open Source UAV autopilot created by the OpenPilot Community (an all volunteer non-profit community). It is a highly capable platform for multirotors, helicopters, fixed wing aircraft, and other vehicles . It has been designed from the ground up by a community of passionate developers from around the globe, with its core design principles being quality, safety, and ease of use.  Simplicity does not come with any compromises either: with no hard-coded settings, a complete flight plan scripting language and other powerful features, OpenPilot is an extremely capable UAV autopilot platform.

 

There are two platform for this :

 

The OpenPilot CopterControl Platform – a single board self-stabilizing controller for planes, quads and helicopters.

 

The CopterControl & CC3D boards are an all-in-one stabilization hardware which runs the OpenPilot firmware. It can fly any airframe from fixed wing to an octocopter and is configured and monitored using the OpenPilot Ground Control Station (GCS) software.

 

 

 

 

 

The OpenPilot Revolution board, also called ‘Revo’, is a new breed of Autopilot using the STM32F4 Micro-controller. This is important as it contains a hardware floating point unit (FPU), which is a huge advancement for hobby-class autopilots. Of course, OpenPilot has been 32bit since day one, and the FPU is another step up the performance ladder.

what about 3DR Pixhawk version 2 ?

and the new drone models Solo from 3DR and Phantom 3 from DJI ?

[Lurker]

they need to support this open source standard first,

I doubt that,

for this openpilot working on most platform, I think they need support from many hardware vendor,

until then, we need to wait,
