"What's the advantage of having one super-powerful flight controller that handles sensors and high level computing, versus having one relatively simple autopilot with a companion computer like a Raspberry Pi? Wouldn't it be better for reliability's…"
Can I power a Pixhawk solely from the USB port of an onboard raspberry pi? I don't see why I couldn't considering the pi can output up to 1.2 amps from its USB port, but several sites I've read online have dismissed the notion of USB power as…
In DroneAPI it's easy to retrieve the APM's location, speed, and altitude, but is there any way to get the raw IMU data as well?For example, to get the current location you'd print "v.location"Is there an equivalent for the IMU, like "v.imu" ?
