Fabio Varesano, creator of FreeIMU, dead at 28 :-(

3689497556?profile=originalSad 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.

  • I can't f***ing believe this. It seems like only yesterday we were exchanging emails regarding his project. What a shame. RIP my friend.

  • Sad news.  He had great ambition.  I never met him, but his videos, hardware, and code examples were very useful.

    He'll be missed.
