Navio – Raspberry Pi autopilot shield on Indiegogo

Navio

Best of luck to the team from Emlid, I personally own two Raspberry Pi’s and love them. This certainly promises to create a very powerful autopilot solution.

Navio is an autopilot shield for Raspberry Pi. Navio eliminates the need in having multiple controllers onboard making development easier and increasing robustness. Add wi-fi or 3G connectivity by simply plugging a device in the USB port, compress video from a camera or even run image recogniton,  these are some features previously unavailable on autopilot platforms. Navio extends connectivity and allows control of all kinds of moving robots: cars, boats, submarines,  multirotors, planes. For accurate knowledge of position and orientation Navio is equipped with  inertial measurement unit and GPS with raw data.
