MultiWii Controller avaliablity

[Shanker Prabhu]

Hello

Is there somewhere other than hobbyking.com from where I can the RoboGen compatible controller? 

The item has been out of stock for the past several months and now the webpage says its discontinued. 

Thanks,

Shanker

Hi Shanker,

I myself have several of the MultiWii controllers in Vermont, and I believe the team at EPFL does as well, but I know they have also looked into replacement boards.  Right now I do not know the best option if you cannot obtain a MultiWii, but perhaps someone from EPFL can chime in.

What I do know is that researchers in Gusz Eiben's lab in Amsterdam, as well as some former project students of mine, have both used a Raspberry Pi to control the RoboGen, but this required using a larger core component capable of fitting the Pi, and also required modifying the code to run there (but provides many advantages as well).

I know others have used other Arduino compatible boards as well, but I am not sure of the details right now.

Sorry that I can't be of much further assistance at this time.  Hopefully someone else can comment with their experience.

Best,

Josh

Hello Josh and Davide,

I came across Onion Omega2 (a very small development board) which could be an alternative for MultiWii. For the first step, we can also use their Arduino dock that makes this micro-controller compatible with Arduino IDE(documentation here). Do you think it to be a good alternative??

Regards,

Anand
