I was lurking on the Dev Call this week (13 Feb 2017) and have a question. Has anyone attempted to do what Lucas dM is doing with the Intel Aero and AP but instead using a Raspberry Pi as the companion computer running (a special) ArduPilot and getting all the sensor data, R/C input, and ground station comm from the flight controller hardware over UART (or some other protocol)?
I was even thinking. Could you use a Navio2 with Raspberry Pi and skip the companion computer? Would you run two versions of ArduPilot, one that runs the Navio2 (for sensors, R/C and comm) and another that does the flight control work? Another option, create a ‘version’ of ArduPilot that says, I’m running on a Raspberry Pi (w/Navio2) so let me do more stuff because I’m more capable than the ARM processor and have more memory. Of course, the RPI is running some linux flavor.
Thanks for your response,
Mike Grindle
