Dear Friend ,

after a lot of month to work and 1 year of experience on VR Gimbal firmware now we are at release 1.20 I'm very happy to present a new revision of product. 

VR micro Gimbal 4.0

In the video you can see the early preview of new product . VR micro Gimbal 4 derived from Brain 5 platform , it's based on Nuttx 7 O.S. support SD card for real time data logging and Mavlink protocol for direct integration with our advanced Flight Control VR Brain 5  and VR micro Brain 5 .

We aere working with other member to Dronecode foundation to try to define a standard for gimbal managment based on mavlink protocol .

We already implement a Mission Planner plugin for direct control the gimbal . Now we are discuss in dev team about the development of mavlink packet manager put over the nuttx os that can re direct mavlink traffic to correct device when it recived from ground station of from the specific application .  

The new oem product will be available in the next month for beta tester and oem for more information send a mail to info@virtualrobotix.com

With VR Micro Brain 5 is possible to develop very light fully autonomous drones , in last months i developed different kind of prototype the main targets was :

- Very light platform only 439 gr.

- With support of micro brushless gimbal 150 gr. 

- Support of automatic fly support with high reliability after a lot of test i   developed new kind of technology :

• a new GPS : VR GPS 8 based on new generation of Ublox 8.
• a new VR Leash a device for full control of drone in very simple way.
• a new VR micro gimbal 2-3 axis based on nuttx OS with native mavlink support.

- My last target is a long time flight , the first revision of micro drone flew for only 8-10 minutes , now with last updates , new custom motor propeller and battery our time of flight is 27 minutes :)

This is the video of early version of new frame for long time of flight , need to solve some vibration problem i doing all test using EKF and APM Copter 3.2rc12 all work very well.

The next week will be present the new very nice and light frame for our Micro Brain from VR Mechatronic Lab :)
