G+_Travis Hershberger Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Leave it to DJI to start using a much more powerful processor for flight control. I only want around 5, thanks.

G+_David Simmons Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I feel so ancient with my dumb starter drone. I might as well be using a sundial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Havenstein Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I thought Ubuntu was the Linux version of Windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Larry Havenstein Kinda, yes. They've cross compiled all the software they maintain to be compatible with different types of processors. So you can think of this as having a smart phone in control of your drone rather than the more limited processors found on most control boards. Which also explains why David Simmons is feeling left behind, along with the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
