Do you recommend the Navio+?

Hey! I'm a little bit new to DIY Drones but anyways. I am working on my final project (I'm a senior computer science student), and I want to make a delivery drone. I have done some research about the Navio+ and I like it because it works with a Raspberry Pi. Does someone here have any experiences with it?

  • Hi Cesar,

    Take a look at Randy's review of the Navio+ with the Raspberry Pi 2.

    http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/navio-linux-board-with-apm-copt...

    My take: If the Pixhawk already does what you need, it is almost certainly the easiest to use.

    But you are a CS student who is probably planning on doing some of your own programming.

    And I would guess you would probably prefer to work with Linux and the RPi.

    The RPi2 has plenty of extra head room, in fact from comparative reviews it has about 4 times the CPU benchmark performance of a Beagle Bone Black (which already has quite a bit higher performance than the Pixhawk), plus it's environment is more mature and easier to program.

    It will take a bit of extra effort to get started with the Navio+ and RPi in comparison to the Pixhawk, but should be easier to program (and more capable) once you get it going.

    I would choose the Navio+ and RPi myself.

    (And almost certainly will for my next project in any case).

    Best Regards,

    Gary

    • Oh wow! Thanks Gary! I'm planning to communicate with the drone via web server, and I think it will be great!  I didn't  know that the the Pi2 is better than the Beagle Bone Black. Thanks Again!!!!

      *** Great revieww!!

    for a CS student project I think the NavIO+ is perfect, paired with a RPi2
