Re: [Paparazzi-devel] custom autopilots

[Reto Büttner]

Hi Maikel,

do you really want to re-invent all the stuff like serial gps chip,
gps parser, i2c IMU, wireless data modem and servo controller? It has
all been done in Paparazzi and is available open source. It is well
structured, soundly tested and has many features.

What added value are you expecting when you develop it yourself again?

Cheers, Reto
