Hi all,

You might have been wondering why we have not been as active in the QGround=
Control and MAVLink discussions and development in the last year as before.=
 It has not been a lack of interest, but a new stunning project that used u=
p substantial amounts of our spare time available: The PX4 autopilot projec=
t.

It is a high-end, but very low cost ($150 for the autopilot/sensor module) =
design.

http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/introducing-the-px4-autopilot-system

and the main website:

https://pixhawk.ethz.ch/px4/

Since we're currently working our way up from the infrastructure more into =
the flight control layers, you can expect the development of QGC and MAVLin=
k to become more vidid, since we now fly this thing regularly.

-Lorenz
