Thanks to 3D Robotics

Posted by Lester Haines on January 23, 2014 at 2:30am

Our Pixhawk autopilot has just arrived, so we raise a pint or two to 3DR.

The Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator (LOHAN) team this morning welcomed aboard a handsome young autopilot for our Vulture 2 spaceplane - the hot-off-the-press 3D Robotics Pixhawk.

3DR kindly offered to donate a couple of Pixhawks to the cause, after ArduPilot fixed-wing lead developer Andrew Tridgell suggested we'd benefit from the improved data-logging capabilities over our existing ArduPilot Mega (APM) 2.6.

Doesn't Bre Pettis charge a royalty for those glasses?
