The Solo Gimbal and the Code that Drives it. Hmmm....

[just_bruce]

Everyone should be aware the spreadsheet is a work in progress. Thought I'd share before I disappeared for a week, tho.

Open solo should help[emoji3]

If the gimbal firmware source ever shows up, of course.

I've paused work while I see if such will materialize

 

[xman4242]

It will appear eventually I'm sure

Vu tran just picked up a green cube, that is encouraging to the prospects of the gimbal code becoming public

 

[just_bruce]

Enlighten those of us who don't know- who is Vu Tran, and why does his purchase of a flight controller bode well for code release?

What do you think will happen to the gimbal code when released?

A: It will be put into a plug and play gimbal for sale.

B: It will be made into a software that can be put on any gimbal that will fit on the solo

C: It will become part of a diy drone codebase (Arducopter?)

D: Used by a rival. (DJI?)

Can't really be stolen - it's open source. The code will remain available.

I expect it'll probably lead to A and C. But tis just this one man's opinion .

- Gopro functions will be stolen by competitors
- Rest will be baked into OpenSolo, Storm32
