Hi all Open-Source enthusiast,
Paparazzi UAV, the real Open-Source autopilot driven by a community of users without an economically driven goal. Today we are adding an extra autopilot board to there long list of supported autopilots.
The Pixhawk autopilot board will be integrated in our next software release! The video shows the first flight with Paparazzi UAV on a Pixhawk, more videos will follow.
Why choose Paparazzi UAV?
If you are looking for an advanced, modular open-source autopilot which has features others can only dream of, you choose Paparazzi UAV.
You can make the comparison between Windows and Linux. For example APM is the Windows unfriendly plug and pay software, While Paparazzi UAV is the Linux of autopilot systems, where everything you can imagine is possible.
We make it possible for you to choose the best software for your needs, on the hardware platforms that are right for your project.
Wishing you successful flights,
The Paparazzi dev team

@stephen zidek, your comment has some irony because you are writing in a DIY forum but run away from compiling something ? lol You should be looking for a ALL READY forum.
Papparazi looks interesting, but I will never go linux. I don't know a lick of programming and whenever the instructions say to open the command line, download a library, or compile something I just turn tail and run. That's why I use Ardupilot. But good on you guys! Maybe someone will eventually make a plug-and-play build for the likes of me.
Hi Rob,
People from Delft (it seems that smb from this group wrote the post?) and ENAC are among the most active developers. However, afaik there is not a Paparazzi "official" spokesman.
After more than six years following their dev mail-list I can assert that the main developers are not the kind of people that publish/advertise in this "boisterous" way.
It is worth mentioning that this post was not sanctioned by the Paparazzi dev team. I guess neither is my post, as I am not part of the Paparazzi dev team. Neither is microuav.
Anybody who knows the guys from Paparazzi would know that they do not use such language. They are the most laid-back, easy going, cooperative bunch of guys you will meet. They do not bash other projects, but help everybody. Top notch people.
I'd be interested to hear how that statement could be backed up with objective facts and performance measures.
ppz is the best starting point for your serious UAV study, no doubt, and not limited with that.
but ardupilot is most popular i think.
Hi Paparazzi Team, congratulations on the hardware port! I'd suggest that if you would like to get more exposure to potential users, instead of boisterous text, you generate some interesting videos showing exciting performances such as this:
I would like to try Paparazzi. But why a so aggressive tone??? I hope these are not the words from the whole Paparazzi community.
In the comments section of this video someone said: "I don't know any other community that welcomes new users as friendly and helpful as the Paparazzi UAV one." This post sounds completely different!
Wow another of these groups that bash years of work...somehow i find these posts VERY repulsive. Because of that post I will not give paparazzi a try. EVER
Paparazzi users are like that, too?
Anyways, glad there is more choice. Also happy to learn as a European that the US is not the world, didn't know that.
