Which RC autopilot product is popular ?

[ammjy]

Hi ! Always thanks for your help !

i'm looking for RC autopilot.

but, so many company and OS is exist on internet.

i already know how i can consider about computing power but,
i don't have idea how i should consider about autopilot OS in RC area.

Please, let me know. Please, give me your advise.

RC means Radio Control to me but it could be Rowdy Chaps. Please use words.
What product do you want auto-pilot? Model airplane, helicopter or drone? Model car or boat?

My model airplanes made by Horizon Hobby have AS3X with stability from turbulence in 3 directions. Most new models made by them now have SAFE which when switched on makes the airplane fly level and straight even when it is almost ready to crash, it limits the maximum allowable control and allows automatic take-off and landing. I switch on SAFE for me to watch (gawk) at a pretty young lady waking by in the park.

Hello, Audioguru !

I apologize to you. my question has not etiquette.
Thanks you for first reply.

i already know few autopilot products.
like a Arducopter, Openpilot, Paparazzi, Pixhawk, Mikrokopter, Kkmulticopter, Multiwii, Aeroquad, Crazyflie 2.0, CrazyPony-II, Dr.R&D etc..

Actually, i'm looking for platform to carry out swarm control.
i already know that should consider MCU and should look open source OS. but, also want to know which one is popular to peoples.
because, i want consider also "long term support".

This industry is too new to provide any meaningful information on long term support unless you go outside of the hobby sources.

Swarm control is something I find hard to imagine hobby applications for, and would be very leery of providing support for the touted non-hobby applications.  For both legal and ethical reasons.

Swarm control. What's that?
I guess swarm control is how a flock of birds fly very close together in a swarm without crashing into each other.
Yesterday I watched a video of RC airplane crashes and a few airplanes collided together because the airplanes or their pilots did poor swarm control.

I never fly my RC airplanes near another RC airplane, drone or kite. I accidently flew a couple of RC airplanes high up into a tree. My son flew one on my RC airplanes into a light pole. An RC airplane flew close to me and its propeller cut my hand.

My RC system does not allow more than one RC airplane to be controlled by a single transmitter but if it did then the difference between airplanes would result in very poor swarm control.
