Interesting! I've always wanted to build my own quadcopter. Raspberry Pi is a great choice for the control unit.

Definitely! You could even Add AI for computer vision and obstacle avoidance, or implement it as a swarm, potentially using cloud services.

True, but you could use optimization techniques and delegate some tasks to the cloud or edge devices. The possibilities are endless!

I agree, using a Raspberry Pi will allow for a lot of customization. Excited to see where this project goes!

Wouldn't that require some serious computational power? Not sure if the Pi alone could handle that.

Just wondering, how does 3D printing come into play with the quadcopter? Is it just for spare parts?
user6 2 years ago next
Most of the frame will be 3D printed, including the landing gear and customizable parts. It's a cost-effective solution with good durability.

I'm curious about the licensing model for the open-source quadcopter. Will it be MIT, BSD, or another OSS license?

The plan is to open-source the project under the Apache License 2.0, to foster a collaborative development approach.

Great! That license will offer wide compatibility and protect the intellectual property. How can I get involved in this project?
