I am relatively new to this so please excuse me if I ask too simple or obvious things.
I have a Pixhawk and I want to put my own code in the firmware. For now I want to enable two-way serial communication to an onboard Arduino and make the Pixhawk pas

Is it reasonable to expect drone manufacturers to add more technology to reduce the number of dangerous drone flights? Specifically, should manufacturers make it much more difficult to fly their d

According to Randy the know issue of altitude loss after a high speed run is at its heart a frame issue.This seems to me a very worthwhile discussion to have.Once the majority of us understand this, we will be less likely to muck up other threads.Tak
