"Thanks Gautier for pointing this out. APM and Paparazzi are just two different worlds (with some overlap and similar platforms). Hobby and academic.It´s versatility vs. simple use. special hardware for several projects vs. standardized…"

Hey all, I'm doing a short documentary on drones and I was going through my files and I need help identifying this body. Does anyone know the name of the model and manufacturer of the BODY...just…Continue

"Given that the Arduino project was only started in 2005, I think it's unlikely that there was an Arduino Paparazzi controller in 2003 ;-)"
Gautier Hattenberger replied to flyinghiho's discussion I need a history lesson. How did we get here?"Hello Jack and other people around,
I don't really like to do that, but I think I need to clarify some points. I'm one of the core developer of Paparazzi and a teacher at ENAC (a french public school). Our UAV Lab is composed of more or…"
Jake Stew replied to flyinghiho's discussion I need a history lesson. How did we get here?"I'm not trash talking any one. The OP asked for a history lesson on why things are they way they are and how they became that way.
I think the Paparazzi code is superior to the APM in performance. Their hardware is also…"
David Conger replied to flyinghiho's discussion I need a history lesson. How did we get here?"Jake, I'd like to see the good side of what you write but your style comes across as you know the best way and Paparazzi isn't it.
Something I've learned with open source is it's a majority thing. If the majority feels something…"
David Conger replied to flyinghiho's discussion I need a history lesson. How did we get here?"Well, I see where this is going. Dissapointing the moderators allow such toxic talk but I guess it's ok as long as it's not taling about APM. Sad really since Paparazzi project people have only positive things to say about APM and the good…"
Jake Stew replied to flyinghiho's discussion I need a history lesson. How did we get here?"The hardware situations may change now and again. There code may work well and is pretty advanced, but it's also a terrible mess and very poorly organized.
They didn't support NMEA GPS gear last I checked, and only supported…"
David Conger replied to flyinghiho's discussion I need a history lesson. How did we get here?"My may reconsider some of those things when you read about the QuadShot Paparazzi project here: http://thequadshot.com/
STM32, VTOL, Hardware is easily available at prices comparable to anything else out there when comparing Apples to…"
Jake Stew replied to flyinghiho's discussion I need a history lesson. How did we get here?"Good info DC. To the OP... It depends a lot on who you ask. There's a lot of fragmented projects out there and they all accuse everyone else of stealing their ideas.
In general, as far as I know, Paparazzi started the whole thing,…"

I'd say Paparazzi was definitely the World First Open Source and…"

"The first DIY multicopter I know of, was a wood stick tricopter with plain head-hold gyros to keep it in the air. There is a rcgroups thread, but not able to find it any longer."
Brad Hughey replied to flyinghiho's discussion I need a history lesson. How did we get here?"That's an interesting question. The first electric multicopter I ever saw was the DraganFlyer, back in the late 1990's. Since they don't claim to be the first on their website, they probably aren't. However,…"

Hey all. I'd like to know the history of how we arrived where we are today with these Drones.
