During this year i'm working hard on Multipilot32 ,

developing the 32 bit revision of Arducopter and use and test it in different kind of application .

My company Laser Navigation srl http://www.lasernavigation.it develop different kind of technology : navigation system , 2d-3d mapping systems , drone :) So in the last year i'm working on  a great project in italy .

We are working on the Tourism Web Portal of Bergamo  . In this project my company work on Maps , Geo Tagging DB , Open Streetmap Map data improvment , navigation systems. 3D visualization and also introduce for first time in this kind solution the use of Video doing by drone. :)

I'm very happy to present our work on our community.

Many thanks to all the people that contribute every day to improve our best project :)

Thanks to Dev Team ... and also to beta tester of our project.

Some video of different step of our development.

Dear Friends,

in these days we're doing  test of  stable version of code for Multipilot32 + VRIMU FULL. We hope to release the stable version of code before the end of month.In this video is possible to see how work return to home , I'm very happy of this result ... During the debug is possible to have some problem if the point of return is exactly the same where you pilot your drone :) See video ... It's very nice .. :)

Functionality available tested for two week  :

Stable mode work fine .

Loiter is good and affordable precision start from 1x1 m box to 5x5 m box depend of wheater condition.

Retur to home work fine ... have only a problem the quad return to last loiter position instead of starting point.

In the next week we continue to test and improve :

Altitude hold .

Auto navigation.

Configuration of testing :

VRIMU FULL : http://www.virtualrobotix.com/page/vr-imu-10

Custom Frame by AleBs X Mode Quad configuration.

4x 30 Amp ESC Hobbywing.

Battery 3S 4000 Amp.

Radio:  Hitech Aurora 9 with standard 9 channel receiver 2.4 ghz.

Firmware Pre requiste :

This revision of code is derived of original Arducopter 2.0.42 i add some new feature for have more flexible configuration parameter for example is possible change  the frame configuration only changing a parameter in Mission Planner. Is available also mixertable and receiver that support 1 wire ppm sum  .
