About Me:
I am the founder of FlytBase Inc. We build developer tools for intelligent connected commercial drones. These include FlytOS (operating system for drone companion computers), FlytSim (simulator for drone applications), FlytBase Cloud (Internet of Drones platform), and web/mobile SDKs for building drone applications. Please visit http://flytbase.com to learn more. If you are building a commercial drone application, contact us at support@flytbase.com to talk to our drone software experts.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I have been working on UAV/MAV related technologies for last 15+ years, as a researcher and a professional. I currently run a startup working on development of next-gen Drone Applications Platform (flytbase.com).

After months of extensive testing, we are happy to announce the first stable release of FlytOS, the framework for advanced drone applications.As some members of the community would recollect, FlytOS is built on ROS and Linux, to help developers…
"Absolutely! A number of safety features have been built (and thoroughly tested) into the hardware and software design. The basic autopilot (STM32 based) will switch to a pre-programmed fail-safe mode in case of Odroid failure. Either a hover/RTL can…"
"Thanks James. Just two points:
1) FlytPOD is compatible with Ardupilot stack, as well. Here are the details: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A2239516
2) The key contribution is FlytOS, the software that powers FlytPOD,…"

"Thank you Patrick and Georacer. Appreciate your comments and feedback.
We suspect that most of it has to do with the reputation that Indiegogo has earned over time (I am told that the success rate of Indiegogo campaigns is just about 20%). It would…"
