Hey Guys,
I am currently working on a senior design project and want to try and use OpenCV to do image processing to identify a landing spot. I would then send the drone commands via a microcontroller to get it to land on the specified spot. I know that the pixhawk controller allows you to send commands to it using a RaspberyPi via MavProxy. All that is left now is to find a drone that can do this. The only specifications it must meet is that it must use a Pixhawk controller and be able to carry around 1.5-2 pounds at least.
I have been researching several options for a while now but am very new to the drone space. So far I have looked into the Flytrex drone extensively which seems perfect but won't be available for delivery for several months. I was also in contact with 3DR about their Iris drone but they replied saying the telemetry port 2 (port we would use to connect the Raspberry Pi to the Pixhawk) was already being used by the drone. If anyone knows of any drones or even kits I could use that you think would meet these specifications, I would greatly appreciate if you could share them with me.
Thanks in advance for your help! :)
