Hi everyone,
The new NavBoard M3 has all the inertial sensors and GPS capability you need, along with onboard processing and a native USB interface for easy code changes and use as a dedicated serial port!
While not specifically a drone or autopilot

This is a high wing Trainer running on 6s and weights in at about 3kg.
Here is a kml log of the flight including a flight though and plane orienation.
The programed flight path
I also have a video of the entire flight, bu
