    @Chris, Thank you so much!!! This community as well as some of your books were a true inspiration for us in the creation process of Percepto. So your support is special for us and we really appreciate it.

    @Robin we share your enthusiasm! 

    @Randy, MAVLink integration is already operational. As you might remember from my occasional questions, our development platforms are mostly based on the PIXHAWK flight controller and only mature features are being adjusted for other flight controllers. In your case, we are really excited to see what you can achieve with a Percepto.

    Looks really really good.  They had me at NVIDIA Tegra.

    I'm definitely getting one.  I hope we can get a MAVLink interface added so the integration with copter and plane can be tight.
