Here we go, if you ever thought about jumping into the “RotorFlight” bandwagon, this is a must watch. You just watch this and listen from beginning to end, I am joined by Jeff West and Alex Deal to talk about open source software and what it takes to get RotorFlight on your helicopter. I wish I would have watched something like this before I ventured into this. More videos to come!
DISCLAIMER: I need to clarify that Ethos is not open source. I apologize if I provided the wrong information. Ethos is derived from a previously available open source platform, but it is commercial in nature even though the open source license agreement requires the code to be made available publicly. Regardless, I believe this video provided enough information to clear some questions and/or doubts regarding RotorFlight and its available options for transmitters and protocols.
