We’d like to present a Debian package that makes it even easier to get APM up and running. It includes all APM supported vehicles. The only thing needed to install it is to type these lines at the command prompt wget http://blog.emlid.com/files/apm.deb sudo dpkg -i apm.deb After the installation is complete, you can launch any one the supported vehicles: APMrover2 ArduPlane ArduCopter-quad ArduCopter-tri ArduCopter-hexa […]

Some time ago we’ve released a new version of our Linux autopilot – Navio+. Main new feature is that Navio+ supports HAT standard and is compatible with Raspberry Pi models A+,B+ and also with… Odroid-C1. It is a new board from Hardkernel powered by quadcore 1.5GHz CPU with 1GB of RAM. Odroid-C1 sets a new standard […]

We believe that open communication between users leads to better future for Navio+ project. Thanks to you our forum started to grow and it was time to switch to something more powerful. BB forums are a thing of the past and we found an amazing project called Discourse. Discourse is a very nice looking and feature […]

  This is a release of the new SD card image of default Raspberry Pi distribution Raspbian with real-time kernel. It is based on 2014-12-24-wheezy-raspbian with default kernel replaced to new 3.12.36-rt50+ kernel and a few additional tunings.   Default Raspbian kernel is configured with PREEMPT option and provides worst case latency around single digit milliseconds. […]

When we started experimenting with RTKLib we were amazed that it is possible to achieve centimeter precision positioning without breaking the budget. Even though RTK became more affordable there is still need in a very inexpensive USB raw data GPS receiver. After manufacturing Navio Raw boards we got some raw data GPS receivers left. More […]

We are glad to share that most of the patches for Navio has been accepted in the main APM repository. There is still a lot of work to be done, including rework of the ADC, GPS and performance optimizations, but it’s great that now a working version of APM for Navio can be built using the code in […]

We are happy to announce the new version of our Raspberry Pi autopilot – Navio+. With more than 300 Navios in the wild we’ve got plenty of feedback and now it is time for an upgrade.   Here’s a list of new features: New version is compliant with Raspberry Pi’s HAT standard, it fits both […]

Since the last update we’ve added a couple of additional pieces of code, as well as reworked some of the previous ones. Here’s the list of new features: Enabled external clocking for PCA9685, it should provide precise PWM values. Added support for ADS1115 ADC in APM. Added support for external GPS. Seeing the rover finally make its […]

Previous week was quite productive for our team – few important blocks of code for APM have achieved working state: MPU9250 compass driver U-blox SPI driver RGB LED driver Of course, they are not fully ready and require testing, fixing and some polishing, but it’s an important step in APM’s porting. New features are available in […]

  We have added few Python drivers and examples adapted for Navio to our GitHub repository, examples include: ADC Barometer LED Servo Sensor tutorials soon will be updated to include information how to run these examples.
