Team,
I am retiring the matrixpilot.com domain, but you can still access matrixpilot firmware directly on github:
Thank you all so much for making this such an interesting project.
By the way, Ben Levitt is still producing udb mini boards:
Warmest regards,
Bill Premerlani

Hi Bill,

The end of an era. Robert D. and I were just talking about you and Matrix Pilot this week! That said I wanted to thank you for your amazing contributions which have benefitted the drone industry as a whole.

Sincerely,

Phillip Kocmoud

Hi Phillip,
You are right, the end of an era...
And, you are welcome, and tell Robert D. that in my opinion he has amazing software skills and is an amazing human being.
And finally to all who participated, thank you so much.
Warmest regards,
Bill P.

Hi Bill,
And you have incredible skills in linear algebra. Your pitch/roll and yaw corrections were so simple yet so effective.
Regards,
Paul

Dear Bill,

the demijohn looks big, but it will run out too.

I recall on a daily basis that project and all the experimenting around it.
During those years I wrote in english something like 10:1, compared to my native language: italian.
It was a joy to follow the evolution of that autopilot and the community it was able to build around it.

At the moment, designing, building and flying slope gliders get me more involved. But I know, one day or another, one of the uavdevboard planes will get in flight again.

My warmest greetings,
Ric

Hi Bill,
Thanks ever so much for being a beacon of knowledge from the very early days of open source drone development.  I shall always be indebted to you for the help/advice/time you have given to me over the years, I am pretty sure I am not alone in this.
Ithanks again

Hello Bill,

Thank you again for this project, it has been a part of my career, at first as engineer which later sparked a passion, which led me towards my current profession as airline pilot!

Kind regards,
Giulio
