  • @iskymaster "put an excel sheet  to put down all the flight controllers out there so we can come up with matrix of features, standards etc. as snap shot view." Good idea, I argee with you and I am very interested in that. but can you give me one example?

  • @iskymaster I mean the best application, DJI A2 and A3 flight controller are good for AP,  this is known to all, that is the true value of them.

  • Developer

    Lots of emphasis on the old flight controllers, without any mention to the new ones? Nothing Linux based? And why push the APM 2.x when it was depreciated several years ago?
