Hi all, this FC looks awesome. Sounds like power is well taken care of too with the power module. What would be a nice compact 3rd layered board with Telemetry and OSD?
Recommendations?
Interesting.
Do you have any plan for smaller GPS receiver and smaller OSD for XRacer so we can use it with smaller airplanes as well?
Which method do you recommend for it's vibration dampening?
Beta testing and confirmation took slightly longer than expected. We were really thorough. Baring any major complications, all pre-orders should ship this month. Thank you again for the support.

Ok got it, only need to make px4-v4 on master.
Hi Phillip, I didn't find the Tridge branch on github (but don't really know where to search). I tried 3.4-dev from http://firmware.diydrones.com/Copter/latest/PX4-quad/ but I guess it's not yet ready for FMUv4 as MP told me the firmware isn't compatible.
Yes, received an XRacer yesterday from Nick.
Nico,
I have flown both PX4 master and Arducoptor. The Arducoptor was built by Tridge. I am not sure if the binaries are included in the current binaries offered by Mission Planner. Do you have a Pixracer?

Where to find the modified firmware/source code to put this FC in air ?
+1 or more
First, what's FrSky -in/-out for ? I trust my FAS-100 sensors more then Pixhawks power module..
And second, any chance of shipping from Bulgaria for us EU folks? :)
Was flying my Iris+ over the weekend and continue to fly it like a 250 Quad, zooming in and out of trees. It's like flying the Millenium Falcon because its an ungainly beast that can do lots of stuff and when I feel like hitting GPS hold and running some waypoints I can do just that. I am really looking forward to this FC - I'll probably put it on something bigger than a 250, maybe a 300, and be able to have more fun. Fingers crossed it arrives in time for a Christmas holiday build (no pressure)!
