Potential problems with a Pixhawk

Posted by Karan Chawla on July 21, 2014 at 12:40am

Hey all,

I've been working on a quadcopter and will be using a 2 axis gimbal on it.I'll be shooting videos with my quad.I've heard APM gets bogged down due to it's 8 bit processor.

Can someone shed more light on the aforementioned problem and also whether APM is fine or it's better to switch to Pixhawk?

Cheers,

Karan

APM overload depends on motor count and how much logging you run.
A quad with little logging is fine.
In any case, Pixhawk is the way to go if you don't mind the price difference.
