Four open source UAV projects

In the past few years, people's interest in civil and commercial drones has grown rapidly, and drone hardware ranks high on many people's holiday wish lists.

Even in the aspect of civil drones, it seems that there are more and more unmanned aerial equipment such as drones. Nowadays, the term drone seems to cover all devices: from cheap multi-wing toy helicopters to customized aircraft with very powerful artificial intelligence functions.

Most people I know who think they are drone lovers are looking for devices in between. They like aircraft that are large enough to support long-term flight, equipped with cameras or other data capture devices, and may be able to automatically control some or all flight operations using pre-compiled coordinated data or real-time data.

Prefabricated equipment in this field varies greatly in price and workmanship, and most of the equipment I have seen uses proprietary software and hardware. But you don't have to go this way! Many software and hardware projects have been developed in the UAV manufacturing industry, and open licenses are adopted, so that you can manufacture, repair, customize or test your own UAVs, or supplement the use of UAVs in some other way. Let's take a look at some of these projects.

The times are changing so fast that geeks who have always been at the forefront can't keep up with the rhythm.

Before DJI, airplane models and drones were still a little popular, and DJI directly pushed the industry into the level of mass consumer goods. Originally, the spring snow turned into green vegetables and tofu, and the old drivers who were still in the underworld were at a loss. How many people can persist in that kind of "pride" by watching the little girl take out a royal at any time, which is faster, more stable and smarter than the big six axes that she assembled for half a year, and others are cheaper? Since then, I have been unwilling to retreat, and the aerial photography has not been done. I can only do it on the aerial platform with a little slant. The slant door also means that the future is unknown, and geeks must persist.
