"Hi Francisco and Tiziano,
Thanks a lot for your appreciation and apologies for completely missing to reply earlier. Open source can get tricky and we have internally raised and discussed this matter several times. Our current plan is to focus on…"

"Hi Patrick,
Thanks for writing. Yes, we have successfully tested April tags recognition. Here is an initial demo - https://youtu.be/eSoAqfV91T0
There is an onboard ROS package for April tags and also a sample web app that we used to test it. We have…"

Pradeep Gaidhani commented on Pradeep Gaidhani's blog post Interact with your drone through your own custom-made user interfaces built with FlytOS
"Hi Andy,
FlytOS is a ROS based framework for building (onboard and offboard) higher level functionality on top of the autopilot. It is an alternative framework with architectural differences. The links in the article as well as our website…"
