"I already made the CPU board (tinycom-a13, you can follow here: http://github.com/nfco/tinycom) and will try to finish testing it this month. After that I will make the controller board as a module that plugs in the CPU board (similar to the one I…"
"To DavidFost:
I never really considered to use the Edison processor instead of Raspberry Pi.
Instead, for CellPilot v2 I am using a custom CPU board based on an Allwinner A20 processor.
The reason I am not using Raspberry Pi anymore is because I…"

"I'm sorry that you quit, but let me give you an update on the status of the project:
There is already a working prototype, all the source code and design files of this prototype are open source and on github at github.com/nfco/cellpilot (not sure…"

"Actually, I can put already all my files in github for cellpilot v2, so I can get early feedback from you or other interested people.
The first thing I want to make is a small CPU module based on the A13, that will replace the Raspberry PI and will…"

"Thanks for the suggestion. I started working on v2 already this weekend...
After search some more I found that the smallest/cheapest chip is the allwinner R8, which is used in the C.H.I.P: http://nextthing.co/ . It is also easy to use in a PCB…"

"Thanks for your support!
Do you think more people would be interested in trying it if I try to make a version that can run standalone, without needing the Raspberry Pi under it? (that way it would also use less space, less weight and less total…"

"Hello,
1. I didn't try with wing aircraft yet (only tried quadcopter and car), but I think it should work although it will be more difficult to pilot than a quadcopter because it is moving faster. I will probably test with one of those EPP foam…"

"There should not be any firewall issues, because the current system allows to use an external UDP relay server to route the traffic. (the code for the UDP relay is only 20 lines of python and is in the /server directory of the repo).
I also tested…"

"i think that would be not too difficult and the hardware should support it already, but currently I'm not using Mission Planner myself. I just made a small client program from scratch with SDL in C+lua (in the repo) that runs on my laptop and that I…"
"I would also like to produce a first batch of controllers (maybe 50 pieces). Currently, the prototype PCBs are assembled by hand and the case is 3d printed, which is time consuming.
The PCB itself should cost less than 10$ to produce…"

"Yes of course.
Actually in a previous test version, I showed horizon, altitude, etc. in a HUD display over the client. Now stripped down everything to show only battery voltage in order to clean the code before put on github, I will add it back…"

We developed a simple controller to pilot drones/cars/boats/etc. via 3G cellular connection, using a custom PCB on top of a Raspberry A+ with a camera.Here is a video of test flight controlled via a 64Kbps cellular connection:A view of the…
