I'm pretty sure you won't be running python on an ardupilot. I suppose your thought process and mission requirements will direct where you go. If you want to start very simple and cheap and just get a basic autonomous plane flying, then…

Not to a great extent, no. Have read the home page for each AP in the menu, but that is about it. Do you think the ArduPilot would have been a better choice?

Thanks. I have ordered a Gumstix Overo Fire. Can't wait until I get it. It will be used together with a Lisa/L board running Paparazzi.

Sorry, I haven't done any python scripting on the gumstix. I would be shocked if there were any problems though, pretty much everything runs on the gumstix. I have been doing all my autopilot development in C/C++. At some point (time…

Have you tested running Python on your Gumstix?

The gumstix probably costs a bit more than the ATMega328, but it does run linux and you have access to a ton of open-source software and libraries, as well as device drivers for just about anything that linux supports. The gumstix is small and…

Building an UAS. Inputs on autopilot and mission computer.

I am planning on building an UAS.The idea is this. Have a autopilot with the required sensors connected to a mission computer. The mission computer will control other sensors and ground communication.The first choice is the autopilot. I was thinking of using the Paparazzi for this, but I am not sure if there is cheaper/better alternatives around.Second there is the mission computer. It should be running Linux, preferably from a memory card. USB/serial connections are needed to connect sensors…See More
