Lucas De Marchi commented on Chris Anderson's blog post More powerful Pixhawk 3 coming soon
"@Rob Just the fact of reduced jitter is already good enough. It's a "custom digital protocol". Could be anything else like hsuart or can (except the latter has the added benefit of being differential)"

Lucas De Marchi commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Record pace of Dronecode/PX4 development, plus new NuttX support and performance data
"@Julien, I had a very similar comment on the blog post itself when it was done. Interestingly I went there now and my comment vanished. I find it pretty disrespectful to remove comments that makes no attacks and just contributes on the technical…"

Lucas De Marchi commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Intel's Aero drone development platform coming next month
"@Chris,

> Snapdragon and Aero are both native Linux, and I personally run it on the RaspberryPi with Navio 2.  

There are no announcement saying PX4 is running on native Linux on Aero. Like the article you linked said, it has a separate flight…"

Lucas De Marchi commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Intel announces new Aero drone development board based on Dronecode PX4 software
"Here is the Intel developer page for Realsense products, it's worth taking a look.

Patrick, on an autopilot or companion computer you will probably not use Windows, so what you are looking for to use…"

"@benbojangles: sharing a single i2c line for imu, baro and mag is not really a good setup."

Lucas De Marchi commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Intel gives sneak peak of drone development board
"Shawn:  up-board actually IS the robotics kit. The picture in the post is the Aero Platform, the robotics kit is the UP board + realsense + probably-something-more (but I don't know what they will bundle in there)."

Lucas De Marchi replied to Patrick Poirier's discussion Proposal for companion system architecture in Companion Computer Working Group
"That is bad... bad driver that needs fixing probably. The platform that I usually stress the HW is a MinnowBoard Max and I don't have such issues. The other Linux boards I usually run the flight stack alone or with very little processing.

Lucas De Marchi replied to Patrick Poirier's discussion Proposal for companion system architecture in Companion Computer Working Group
"Last but most important is that this configuration is much safer than a all-in approach. Bear in mind that most of the stuff running on the companion computer is highly experimental and prone to crash... I this happens, the flight system -autopilot-…"

Lucas De Marchi commented on Jerry Giant's blog post Raspiolt : yet Another Rpi cape flight controller WIP, designed in China
"Nice board!
I'm also regularly online on gitter and skype. Or you can talk to me by email (lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com): since you are in China I know the timezone difference will make it difficult to chat by other means."
