Please excuse this question

Please excuse this question if it has been asked before or it seems dumb but why the new WiiCopter Protocol when there is MAVLink?

MAVLink Micro Air Vehicle Communication Protocol

Because there'd be too much shit to #ifdef on a tarduino pro mini.
And the second reason is that qgroundcontrol is fucking HIDEOUS.
Worse than multwiiconf, by far.

Thank you, there are a number of groundcontrols from what I can tell. Of course, I have not tried any, just reading over the documentation.

I also believe that Alex said it should be lightweight(er) than MavLink (less traffic less processing).

Thank you Andrej

I have lots of time, maybe it is time for me to do some investigating. :)

Hello

I am convinced of Multiwii, but I have recently MAVLINK geladen.es works far better than Multiwii. I am amazed.
