Sad news from Hackaday:
Fabio Varesano, the man behind FreeIMU and Femtoduino, died of a sudden heart attack at the much too young age of 28. The RC helicopter/plane/drone and HCI/physical computing communities lose a great mind with Fabio‘s passing.
There is talk on the Dangerous Prototypes forum of continuing the development of FreeIMU, a project it seems Fabio worked on alone. We’d love to see someone pick up the reigns of the FreeIMU project, hopefully after doing a run of the current hardware and donating the proceeds to Fabio‘s family.

Free flight Fabio, and follow us from above.
Ciao Fabio, ora volerai anche senza drone...
Long live Fabio ! The RC Community will always remember you ! :-(
Very sad news. Fabio was a pioneer. I learnt a great deal from his words. He was never too busy to answer questions or give advise. A gentleman and a clever person. He will be sorely missed by so many.
RIP Fabio. You were and still will be an inspiration to many of us.
Truly sad news, such a brilliant mind. All the condolences to his family. And for sure, FreeIMU will continue.
