Oh goodie. The FAA has announced its ultra-rushed plan for a drone registry -- they desperately wanted to get this on the books before Christmas. It's worse than even the most vocal critics had anticipated:

In the never ending quest to improve camera triggering via Pixhawk, one of my objective was to reduce as much as possible the triggering latency. That is the time between the moment the autopilot processes a trigger instruction (sent out on a pred
