Covering the source installation process for Mac OS X Mavericks.
We started a series of tutorials explaining the basics of the Paparazzi UAV software framework.
The first installment explains the Basic Installation for Mac OS X Mavericks.
Our Lisa/S autopilot has been featured in Wired. Here are a few things the article had to say about our board.
'The Lisa/S chip is 4 square-centimeters — about the same size as a Euro coin.'
'It’s the world’s smallest drone autopilot system — over 30 grams lighter than its predecessor'
Bart Remes of TU-Delft MAVLab speaking at TEDxAmsterdam. The topic, 'A drone inside everybody's pocket'. Bart demonstrates the ease of flight with a Lisa/S autopilot powered nano quadrocopter.
Interview with 1BitSquared founder Piotr Esden-Tempski and Philip Banse of dctpTV on Civil Drones at 30c3. They discussed the current state of civil drones, and what we can expect to see in the future. The interview was conducted in German.
IEEE Spectrum wrote an article covering Lisa/S, they had some kind things to say about our autopilot. It contains a very nice quote by Sebastian Scherer, a robotics researcher at Carnegie Mellon University; "These kinds of autopilots are very common, however, the size makes it special".
1BitSquared founder, Piotr Esden-Tempski talks about Open Source domestic Drones at 30c3. His talk featured the Lisa/S autopilot and covered the history of domestic drones and UAV, from the perspective of his involvement in the hobby and developer community.
Our friends at the TU-Delft MAVLab have made a video showing Lisa/S flying on a Quadrocopter and Helicopter. In the video you can see the Paparazzi UAV software compiled for Lisa/S stabilize and control the aircraft. It is using the SuperbitRF module to receive control commands from a Spektrum RC transmitter. All the necessary software is integrated into the master software branch of Paparazzi.
