What is the difference among aeroquad arducopter and mikrokopter?

Posted by Howard on March 15, 2011 at 7:49am

I am a newbie and working on continuous problems from MK. However, MK is hard to control indoors. Then I found aeroquad and arducopter. Some videos of arducopter seem very suitable for indoor flying with stable pose maintenance. Then, the question came out. Does anyone can give a summary on these platforms, if I don't want to get my hand too dirty on hardware repairing.

Thanks!

    Does anyone use aeroquad or arducopter?

    Can you tell me your experience on the extendibility of the navigation software and hardware stability?

    Thanks!

    They were one of the earliest to market with hardware and code. They started with Flight controller, then Navigation board, compass and I2C ESC's. The Nav code is closed source whilst the others are open. They have a good website, good support tools for setup, code updating, trouble shooting etc. and lots of documents in languages other than German. I think their success is due to the quality of their product, the German attention to detail and the dedicated band of developers/testers.

    I too would be very interested if any of the guru's out there could possibly do an unbiased comparison including why 2 guys

    in Germany have set a standard and everyone else seems to be playing 'catchup'. Are they that brilliant or is it just extremely good marketing?
