"I think this is really great for certain things.For anything that required GPU acceleration (deep learning, most machine vision) you are better off with an Nvidia board - as the main frameworks and libraries atm primarily use CUDA. Caffe has OpenCL…"
"@bernt Nice, will follow your instructions to get gstreamer working on RPi2! Will test the h265 pipeline and do a write up once I have it working :)BTW - I am thinking of getting a fixed wing for doing mapping with a sony nex or CHDK canon pointed…"
"Great demo @bernt.I've got the Navio+ but haven't gotten round to flying with it yet, this looks like fun. Will be following your instructions! I'm flying in urban areas so will probably try with a smaller wing like the Z-84.Have you tried h265…"
"The storm32 looks like a good chip/firmware for a gimbal controller. but can't find any 3 axis gimbals that would ship with it by default"
"Great! How do you handle priority between additional processing (like image processing) and flight controller? And if the additional processing crashes the system?"
"great work. what software did you use for the 3d animation and the virtual surveying demos after stitching in agisoft?How high did you fly, and was it just nadir shots? "
"loving this but the price is putting me off.. is the hardware open source?"
"what's the payload on the caipirinha? enough to carry the autopilot and sony nex/canon p&s? would be fun for mapping"
I have a 2013 X8 and looking at the 2014 specs I would like to get similar improvements in lift and flight time.What are the main components to upgrade, and how easy is it?Looking at the parts list it looks like at least the ESC's, motors and…
"I have a 2013 X8 RTF, and the DYS 3 axis gimbal mentioned here. Some questions:1) what are you guys using for landing gear? The default landing legs are shorter than the gimbal
2) Do you even need a gimbal for stills? I mean, on a bright day, you're…"
2) Do you even need a gimbal for stills? I mean, on a bright day, you're…"
"Can someone walk me through the user journey?I setup the area to be covered in Mission Planner, and then the X8 covers that area, triggers automatically at each point necessary to get the image coverage? How does the camera know how often to…"
"I think some of the guys have a point, if going for something more powerful why not go all the way and get a modern mobile phone ARM SoC from someone like Qualcomm or Mediatek? Instead of 157mhz Pixhawk you'd get 1.5ghz quad core, plenty of RAM, GPU…"
"I got an X8 a month ago with APM 2.6 - how do I upgrade to Pixhawk and what benefit does it have?"
I have a 3dr x8 and bought a 3 axis gimbal for it. The gimbal came with bare power leads, I'd like to wire it up to a battery - either sharing the 3s 12v flight battery - or a separate one. The voltage should be ok, the gimbal can use 12v. What…
"thank you for recommendations, ordered a maytech 3axis alexmos gimbal, will report on how it works.Some more questions:How do I know that the GPS is locked? At the moment when hovering, the x8 starts drifting in one direction and I have to keep…"
