Prof. i have my consideration about this 4 platforms.
For professional job i use Mikrokopter for years with long range
license.
Its Super stable and i am confident with this platform.
The problem is the navigation code that not FULL opensorce.
Arducopter: Arghhhh
I am not confident with this platform.
The altitude lock is not stable.
PPZ - if you not have knownow not chose this platform.
Its very dificult to configure and very sensitive to vibration.
The airborne and ground station is very good. I think this is the best
one.
The only think need modificatiuon is the way the WAYPOINT´s work.
Openpilot.
I never used this autopilot but i think its better than arducopter and
my be the mikrokopter but its too expensive if you chose the complete
option with high level navigation board.
Its very easy to configure.
My ranking is:
1-MK
2-PPZ
3-Openpilot (complete version)
4 -Diydrones

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
