Launch and Recovery from boat?

Posted by Andrew Pontzer on August 30, 2015 at 4:17pm

I have a 3DR DIY quad with a Pixhawk and I was wondering if I would be able to launch and recovery it from the back of a boat.  In particular would the system properly initialize the gyros on a moving boat?

    Starting with 3.3, calibration on a moving surface will be easier. As far as the gimbal goes, it depends on the make. The 3DR Solo gimbal will calibrate on a boat, but not all will
