cmiser commented on John Arne Birkeland's blog post ArduPilot and DroneCode part ways

"ArduPilot is not going anywhere and is by far the best autopilot code base out there. Ardupilot.org is on its two feet and the developers had anticipated and planned for these actions of DC for a long time coming. People seem to be under the…"

"Chris A.,
Even with your inclusion of Randy and Tridge (which are a strategic play on 3DRs part) the trend is still very obvious to dropping support for Ardupilot devs. DIYD is your mouthpiece and an advertising platform for 3DR so keeping the the…"

"Chris A,

I can't speak to the dozen software engineers that you have at 3DR working on Arducopter but I do think I can list some of the Ardupilot devs that you have let go once you received what you needed to get Solo to market. As I understand…"

"If flying without an RC controller on an autonomous tactical UAV with an encrypted digital data link and a stabilized two axis eo/ir brushless gibmal is considered an RC demonstration then I guess thats all we did.

cmiser replied to Christian Stallings's discussion APM / Pixhawk systems with COA aproval

"CU Boulder has 60+ COAs and they operate the Tempest. So while it is factual that the platform is on that many COA's the significant number of them if not all of them are for CU. And they do not use an open source autopilot."
