Is there a way to update waypoints dynamically using a Linux onboard computer to the Pixhawk instead of using waypoints from the predefined flight plan?
MavProxy is an option but it does not allow python scripts to execute.
It started as a hobby but has gotten big in popularity. The end result is a lucrative profession for those who appreciate the challenge. In fact, you can catch drone racing on ESPN and Sky Sports. This whole process has been gathering steam for somet

I have read a number of threads related to shrouded propellers. And, if the primary goal were to significantly improve the safety of a drone used for close inspection of buildings and roofs, then any net efficiency gain would simply be a bonus. Base

I have an Arducopter v2.6 on my quadcopter and am just starting to get it flying. Yesterday I took it to the park for the second time for some test flights. The flight went as follows:
are there some inherent differences between quad copters and hexacopters. What would make a designer choose 4 or 6 propellers? Is there a sweet spot for lift capacity with a quad vs the sweet spot for lift capacity of a hex? What is that sweet spot?

Within the area of creating images while flying, this can be further broken down into two primary subgroups. A) Videography B) Still photography
