Java Ground Station by Riccardo Ferrari

Dear Friends,

this is the first video of Java GS by Riccardo Ferrari (Fox Team) in action.

Java GS using RPC Server architecture implemented in Arducopter Redfox74 branch.

This is new approach to Groundstation for people that prefer completly opensource architecture instead to use labview. In the next revision of Arducopter i think that we implement this code as experimental , activable by DEFINE .

Regards

Roberto N.

One of better application developed with UAV are Aerial Photogrammetry ... I have some friends that use it for this kind of application .

This is an example of what we do with my friends Davide and Simone one years ago , Davide use the picture doing with FOX II for develop a model of river with a resolution of 2 mm:
