[Paparazzi-devel] UAV Development with paparazzi

[Richard Smith]

Hi All,

I run a custom development company and am involved in two projects.

1. Educational build of a UAV with a college.
2. Development of a high speed long endurance UAV.

I would like to use the paparazzi control system for both and also make 
the results of our work available to the community. In order for us to 
proceed I would appreciate some help.

Firstly I need to get some boards manufactured fairly quickly, however I 
am a little confused over which artwork/source code to use. I do not 
seem to be able to find artwork that matches the photo gallery of a 
completed system. Can someone help me define a 'standard' parts list, 
artwork and stable source code to manufacture a working set from?

I intend manufacturing a number of kits and I will also make these 
available to the paparazzi community at a reasonable price. My intention 
is to have a supply of built ready to go systems as well as kits of 
parts for self assembly. I need to have this facility available for the 
educational project I am involved in so making it available to the 
community would help reduce costs.

I need to move quickly on this as the build of the educational uav 
airframe has already begun.

The second project is the development of a high speed long endurance UAV 
for commercial use. This is in connection with an engineering company 
and an aviation design engineer. It is our intention to get the UAV 
started with paparazzi. Again the mechanical build has already begun so 
speed here is also of essence!

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards
