Quadcopter – Build, Fly, Stream
Developed in conjunction with Stanford University graduate students Robbie Bunge and Andrew C. Smith, the new Aerocore 250 Overo expansion board was specifically designed for smaller, more nimble quadcopters and provides a cost effective platform for building a lightweight UAV. Pair it with a Pre-GO series of GPS boards to pre-program a flight path or stream and capture video over Wi-Fi with the addition of a camera.
