   There a lot of boards that outperform BBB 10-20-30x times. But both RPi and BBB are more than enough to run an autopilot code. One of the great advantages of RPi over BBB is 1080p camera module with hardware H264 encoder as well as bigger c

   Well, SSHing may be not that useful for those who just want to fly a drone, but it's quite useful for developers, researchers and enthusiasts. Compared platforms are way less powerful and won't be able to perform new advanced flig

   Each approach has it's advantages. Navio was built to serve as a Linux platform for APM which provides more processing power than microcontroller platforms - it's useful for advanced flight algorithms (for example, a lot of new fe

   The delay with Raspberry Pi camera module and proper LTE\WiFi link is much less - it's around 100ms.

   Navio does NOT weight 24g. It's weight is around ~12g. RPi A+ with Navio = 23+10 = ~35g. Pixhawk weights 38g. With Navio+RPi you get a lot of stuff compared to hardware like APMMini: network connectivity (LTE, long-range WiFi), afforda

   The delay is not that big, around 50-100ms depending on the setup, that is mostly okay.

   Thanks! We've been thinking of it, but rejected the idea. RPi A+ is quite light, so RPi+Navio weighs as the normal autopilot. Also, A+ is much cheaper.
