About
About Me:
I am an embedded systems engineer, hacker, entrepreneur and innovator. I have developed Open-Source hardware and software and personal micro UAS since the mid 90ties. I am the Founder and maintainer of libopencm3, Open-BLDC and OpenMulticopter. Also I am one of the core developer/contributors of Paparazzi UAV platform and founder of 1BitSquared. I got involved with personal Drones in 2006 as part of my Diploma thesis. Since then I have continued involvement in the development of new uses for autonomous robotics. In 2008 I was a PHD student at IAS (Intelligent Autonomous Systems) at TU-Munich. In 2010 I left the program to join Joby Energy, a renewable energy company building rigid autonomous tethered airplanes harnessing the energy of the wind. In 2011 together with three friends we founded Transition Robotics, promoting a new mini hybrid UAV platform called the Quadshot. The new platform was the first commercially available vertical takeoff vertical landing fixed wing airframe on the civilian market. Today I am the owner of 1BitSquared a company providing services and hardware to universities and innovators all around the world. Trying to push the boundaries of what is possible with Micro Unmanned Aerial Systems.

"@earthpatrol & @eduardo Thank you very much I am glad you guys like my work. This means a lot. :)
@robert Looking forward to get it to you too. I hope it will go smoothly too. *knock_on_wood*

@Maxime There are a few advantages of the Black Magic…"
Some of you might be familiar with the Black Magic Probe, but some might not. As you know most UAV autopilots these days use one of the many STM32 microcontrollers. They are based on the ARM Cortex-M core family. Most of the boards also have either…
"This is awesome! Now they just need to catch them all with the drone! :D"
"@earthpatrol Thank you! I am glad you like them, and they are an improvement over the GPS's you had before. :)"
"@titieuf007 Please stop spreading false information. There is an android APK: http://wiki.paparazziuav.org/wiki/PPRZonDroid and Paparazzi can be compiled on Windows, it is just not an officially supported platform because the user base and developer…"
"@fnoop We left out the magnetometer out of G0 for several reasons. The main reason is to remove complexity from the RF design of the GPS. Adding more parts and additional connectors would add more "punched holes" in the ground planes. We actually…"
"@titieuf007 This all will happen when the time is right. :)"
Hi Everyone,I made a new video describing the details of the G0 Paparazzi UAV GPS receiver module. In the video I go through and describe the several design decisions we made to ensure high Signal to Noise Ratio, good multi path GPS signal rejection…
"@titieuf007 First of all. Your comment is not very clear. You might want to read over what you write, before you post, and try to follow the rules of the English grammar and spelling. English is not my first language either, so I understand it is…"
"@Tony_K Thank you very much for your comment. I am glad I was able to answer some of your questions. This is why I am here. :) "
"@titeuf007 Yes we know there should be more youtube videos. There are some clips on @earthpatrol instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/0JfUEIuiWR/ And his youtube channel showing the aircraft hold position and fly from waypoint to waypoint using…"
"Thank you all for your comments! :) Let me try to address them.
@Andy_Little I agree that it looks like a hack in that video but it was a very conscious decision to keep the voltage divider away from the board. From my experience with Lisa/M and…"

"@earthpatrol Thanks! I am glad it works well. Thanks for your help with all the autonomous flight tests we did, locating issues and coming up with possible improvements regarding the G0 GPS design. It is interesting to see how physics is difficult…"
Hi Everyone,I made a new video describing the details of the Elle0 Paparazzi UAV autopilot. Elle0 is now available for purchase in the 1BitSquared store together with the G0 companion GPS receiver. In the video I go through and describe every IO pin…
"I am not sure why anyone would still use Eagle, but this (EasyEDA) surprises me even more. Since version 4.0 KiCad became a very strong solution for simple and complex board design that can even compete with top of the shelf commercial packages. No…"
"@Chris Anderson Sorry if I misunderstand the situation. I am just commenting on what I see as the trajectory of your company. You are not the first one to do this, many have had to pivot due to investor/market pressure and all I see here are the…"
