"Greg, at the quite small angle between the two adjacent edges a small aerodynamic disturbance (or a course already plain south instead of perfectly along the edge) can make the other direction shorter. The metric here is to take the fastest turn,…"

Greg Fletcher commented on PX4's blog post First Autonomous Flight Results on PX4 / Waypoints"Not to be to critical, but it looked like the last turn to wp was left when it should have been right. A robust system does this some times and keeps going ;)"

Paul Feely commented on PX4's blog post First Autonomous Flight Results on PX4 / Waypoints"PS PX4 is really coming on, well done! I'm sure we will all end up with one soon."
Paul Feely commented on PX4's blog post First Autonomous Flight Results on PX4 / Waypoints"I'm building a Bormatec Q with an APM in it (need a small airframe to sqeeze in car for family holidays) - the buildlog on the px site has been really useful, thanks! It's a really quirky build but I think I like it.
Wide body Q looks…"

"Looks great, looking forward to see how this progresses.
The Bormatec is an interesting plane too."
PX4 posted a blog postFirst Autonomous Flight Results on PX4 / Waypoints
Just some very early results, but here we go with our first autonomous onboard video. This is the PX4 native stack flying a stock Bormatec Camflyer Q (estimation and control used in the video contributed by James Goppert). PX4FMU + PX4io fits fine, but we are already working with Bormatec on a wider…See More
PX4 replied to Ben Boughton's discussion Which RC Car should I get? in the group ArduRover User Group"Hi all,
I'm looking similarly for a RC car and plan to build it with PX4. I don't want to drive long, fast or large distances. But I want to drive slow. My budget is medium, I rather want something solid and repairable, I don't need…"
Luigi commented on PX4's blog post Introducing the PX4 autopilot system"After trying several times to follow the guide linked by Chris Anderson without success, I decided to upload the firmware by following this link http://firmware.diydrones.com/. Guess what!? Problem solved, are three days that connects to the first…"
Luigi commented on PX4's blog post Introducing the PX4 autopilot system"I have tried many times to reload the firmware following the step by step instructions but the px4 never connects to the first shot. So I guess that has something wrong and I have to return it back.

"Luigi: PX4 is still in development release and the ArduCopter software is still in beta until final release next month. But if you want to play with it now, before the public release, the correct manual page is this one. "

Luigi commented on PX4's blog post Introducing the PX4 autopilot system"I apologize for my English. I bought PX4FMU and PX4IO, the connect via usb but to connect them with mission planner or Ground control must be a whole day. does not want to connect to the first shot. The guides are really skimpy. I'm planning to…"

Finally the last missing board from the PX4 series has been released, the PX4FLOW smart camera module. It can replace GPS in indoor and outdoor applications and provides a metric position close to the ground with only very little drift. It is essentially a microcontroller…
