Electronics and flight control
There are a number of open-source multicopter projects out there, such as the Pixhawk PX4 (the electronics are open-source, as is the source code). While our quadrocopters are based on the ‘Hummingbird’ quadrotor formerly made by Ascending Technologies, we have replaced the on-board controls with the Pixhawk PX4 FMU electronics.
Below are listed some other interesting projects, and their wikis & forums would also be good places to look for further information:
- Crazyflie nano quadcopter: a neat, tiny, completely open-source quadrocopter, which you can fly from your computer
- Arducopter
