Re: [Paparazzi-devel] mikrokopter

[Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heinrich Warmers]

Hi,
the Mikrokopter uses 2 processors  an 8 bit AVR for basic stabilization and a 32 bit Atmel for navigation.
The ground control station software has  not so full features compared  to paparazzi but is easy to use (Windows).
The total hardware cost  is about  300 Euro more compared with the paparazzi system.
The paparazzi cost 250$ for autopilot   35$ for GPS (nerving GPS) an hobby king  motor controller  12 $ and motors for 12..15$
The i2c motor controller from Mikrokopter cost about 40 Euro and the motor about 30 Euro.
The fight plane of Mikrokopter is only able to fly about  300m away.
The software for the Mikrokopter is not open source and  GPL. Only the avr source is open source.

I thik the  ranking of software to fly quadrocopter is 1. Paparazzi 2. Openpilot  3. Diy Drones 4. Mikrokopter

The constructing and configuring of the Mikrocopter is easy compared to Paparazzi.

Hello everyone,

I am now considering buying a mikrokopter for my project.

http://www.mikrokopter.us/shop/mikrokopter-products/mikrokopter-kits-arfs

does anyone know of any kit that uses paparazzi for control and it is already pre-programmed?

I have been working on my quadrocopter for sometime but now i wanna have an option of getting a completed and working one so i can continue with my project.

Any help will be greatly appreciated because the success and progress of my project heavily weighs on me getting a working quadocopter off the shelf.


Cheers
