Re: [Paparazzi-devel] New uC Target with FPU?

[Piotr Esden-Tempski]

Hi!

There is also a simpler board then the Lisa openmulticopter.org. We are 
planning to port at least booz software to it. But it also may also be an 
option for a plane. It has the IMU built in the board and is still 50mmx50mm I 
am not sure if it has enough ppm outputs for servos though. But you may want to 
take a look at it instead of developing your own stm32 board. 

Cheers Esden
