Felix Ruess commented on microuav's blog post PAPARAZZI UAV ON PIXHAWK TEASER
"@Tony sorry for the delay
Some Paparazzi concepts are really powerful (e.g. Flight Plans to create complex missions, multi-UAV support) and you can think of Paparazzi more like a toolbox that tries to enable you to plug together the hardware and…"

"@Rob yeah, I know...
To be be honest, I don't get to fly a lot (or make nice videos)... between my day job and other hobbies this constantly seems to fall down the end of the list somehow ;-)"

"@Tony: you mean hardware wise (pixhawk compared to other Paparazzi supported boards)?
I don't think it's possible to give a general recommendation here, IMHO it mostly depends on what you want to use it for, how much space you have, if you prefer a…"

"As a member of the Paparazzi Dev team, I can say that the views expressed in this post are not shared by all (probably not even many) Paparazzi devs/contributors and community members. It's certainly not how I view APM (since it was explicitly…"

Felix Ruess replied to Raibrinder Gohalwar's discussion Paparazzi on Pixhawk ??
"Hi Rai,

As Piotr already said there is currently no complete or official support for the Pixhawk in Paparazzi.
There is basic support for the px4fmu v2.4 (see https://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi/pull/1384), but e.g. the SPI driver for the…"

Felix Ruess commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New IMU board for Paparazzi--but is it open source?
"So to sum up:
Chris, I think it was not a nice gesture to imply that Paparazzi is going closed source and it is simply not true.
But Chris has a valid point: Unfortunately Lisa and Aspirin hw files are currently not available under an open license.…"

Felix Ruess commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New IMU board for Paparazzi--but is it open source?
"Oh, I guess that was too long for one post, here we go:

Felix Ruess commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New IMU board for Paparazzi--but is it open source?
"Peace guys, please!

@Chris, the link in the blog points to the correct source of the drivers. We recently moved the sw part to github and keept the hw at savannah for now. You pointed to an out of date branch (HB) instead of master, but I guess…"

Felix Ruess commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New IMU board for Paparazzi--but is it open source?
"Easy there guys...
While the guys at jobyrobics decided to currently not publish all the eagle files (and of course can do so if they wish), they are also contributing a lot to paparazzi and everyone profits from that. While a lot of people would…"

Felix Ruess replied to Jadaman Jay's discussion new to paparazzi
"Hi Dalton,

in general the best place to ask about paparazzi is the mailing list: http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Contact#Mailing_List

1. Yes, of course. Physical servos are linked to commands via the command_laws section. This kind of stuff is…"
