3689413762?profile=originalI was looking for some new developments for UAVs and here is what I found accidentally. OpenPilot Open Source UAV Platform seems to be very powerful autopilot, which is very similar to APM. I don't remember that is was mentioned here, so I decided to make a blog post. The link to their official website: http://www.openpilot.org/

    I'm a big fan of DIYDrones, as well as OpenPilot. Both are fantabulastic projects. I am a little worried though about the negative attitude of OpenPilot towards DIYDrones. They claim that DIYDrones used some of the design from OpenPilot (which is great! share, improve, share again!), but did not credit the OpenPilot project. Is there any truth to this, or has there been a misunderstanding? I would really like to see more good-will, and co-operation between the two projects. There should be no issues in one project using code, hardware, and ideas from another project - and it should be encouraged. Even if some projects are for-profit, as long as they comply with the license terms, release source code, and contribute back to the community - what's the issue? If someone has beef with that, they should license their work differently.

     

    Anywhoo, rock on DIYDrones and OpenPilot!

    Don't forget there was an interview on our podcast here as well.

    As someone with an allergy to maths I thought the second podcast was really interesting!

    Well if you search for Openpilot on the site you will see it's nothing new. Nice piece of work. :-)
