But, these do not offer other functions, i.e., console access (2 consoles, one each for NavStik and Overo, for use during development), and GCS Telemetry…"
Aleksey Kharlanov commented on Nitin Gupta's blog post Releasing NavStik, a Micro Navigation and Control Module"IMHO, This board is too expensive. For example, look at this board http://www.csgshop.com/product.php?id_product=94 Almost same hardware and 2x cheaper (with additional GPS module)..."
joe commented on Nitin Gupta's blog post Releasing NavStik, a Micro Navigation and Control Module"Thanks for the clarification. I think most guys are using ST-Link/Discovery or Black magic probe for debug.
I looked again at your website. Which RTOS are you using?"
Nitin Gupta commented on Nitin Gupta's blog post Releasing NavStik, a Micro Navigation and Control Module"Hello Veikko,
No, there is no application specific code bundled with NavStik. It comes with drivers for all sensors/interfaces to help users integrate/build their own applications (any advanced mobile robotics application, including UAVs/MAVs).…"
Veikko Vierola commented on Nitin Gupta's blog post Releasing NavStik, a Micro Navigation and Control Module"Is there a working code for plane or quad? Any GCS available?"
Nitin Gupta commented on Nitin Gupta's blog post Releasing NavStik, a Micro Navigation and Control Module"@Joe: Thanks for your comments. We will be uploading software on github and will provide all the details within the next few days. Each of the boards you have listed has a slightly different design and has been optimized for a different set of…"

I mean once youve been doing it for awhile you make better connections, better places to source part's....ETC. But I have don't…"
joe commented on Nitin Gupta's blog post Releasing NavStik, a Micro Navigation and Control Module"I went to your website but could not find any information about your software. Which RTOS is used? What is your github id?
I think this project is interesting but perhaps a little late to the F4 party, since there is also the option of PX4,…"

We are glad to announce the release of a micro navigation and control module to serve as an autopilot for UAVs/MAVs. NavStik is one of the smallest and most powerful such platforms available with open-source RTOS based software/drivers that can be used for a variety of applications related to mobile robotics.This module is intended for…See More

There is a cheaper gadget on the market.
look at
http://www.universalair.co.uk/
The combination of the modul called Seraphim and Forebrain will not cost this much. But the adwantage for me ... the IMU is seperated from the mainboard. And it…"
Nitin Gupta commented on Nitin Gupta's blog post Releasing NavStik, a Micro Navigation and Control Module"@Curt: Forgot to mention, IvyPRO takes care of all voltage conversions (1.8V logic level of Overo and 3.3V logic level of NavStik) required for communication. IvyGS also does necessary conversions to enable Overo console on the PC (via IvyGS's…"
Nitin Gupta commented on Nitin Gupta's blog post Releasing NavStik, a Micro Navigation and Control Module"@Curt: The max sampling rate for the gyros is 8k/sec and for accelerometers is 1k/sec.

Overo will connect directly to…"
Curt Olson commented on Nitin Gupta's blog post Releasing NavStik, a Micro Navigation and Control Module"Hi Nitin: what is the sampling rate of the sensors on your module? If I am interested in connecting a gumstix (overo) com. Does it come with the connectors right on the board or do I need to get an expansion board for that?…"
Nitin Gupta commented on Nitin Gupta's blog post Releasing NavStik, a Micro Navigation and Control Module"@David: The main module weighs about 4 grams (without differential pressure sensor), and 5.4 grams with all sensors. The interface boards weigh between 3.2 and 8.6 grams. So, depending on the interface board you choose, you can get the complete…"
Nitin Gupta commented on Nitin Gupta's blog post Releasing NavStik, a Micro Navigation and Control Module"@Crashpilot1000, @Peter: NavStik has been designed for quality and performance, and is one of the most powerful systems available, while being the smallest and lightest, at the same time. It is meant for serious automation applications, including…"
