"Is this really only a place for open source contributions to drone development? While it should be encouraged, it shouldn't be discouraged to keep some things private. "

"Thanks! Luci is quite a bit more compact than those other solutions, not to mention WiFi and Bluetooth built in, which is very convenient instead of Ethernet. 
And yeah it's not exactly the same, but many of the things he listed is something that a…"

"The Edison is built into the board for compactness. However our software (Dronesmith Link, Dronesmith Suite) runs on any linux capable drone platform (i.e. Solo, Phantom) or companion computer with a little bit of hardware config. We are developing…"

"Your "25c" batteries might not actually be 25c. We have ran into a few cheeper made cells that can barely put out 10c (33 amp output in your case). Combine this with your motor load probably peaking around 50 amps, makes for a large drop in voltage…"

"This sounds a lot like our thinking when we developed Luci. The idea was to offload a lot of the higher level, "non-essential" components to the Intel Edison copilot (while also enabling WiFi, bluetooth, more sensors, more IO's, etc.) and leave the…"
