Have any of you guys had a go with a Raspberry Pi?
I am "helping" a local school with a project to build a flying AUV's (quadcopter) using a Raspberry Pi and Arduino's to control it.
I may have bitten off more than I can chew, especially when it comes to programming (Pascal was all the rage last time I did any programming!).

Besides processing data from 3 gyro's, a compass, a pressure sensor (altitude) and a GPS module it needs to be able to avoid obstacles (a range of proximity sensors hooked up to an arduino) and there a 4 ESC's and 2 servos (camera) to control.

Any help gratefully received!

I've dabbled with the pi, got mine running as a bitcoin mining controller but I'm no expert on programming or using external hardware that isn't USB!

Do you already have the code or will you be programming it?

Programming from scratch, and it needs to run fast, so it will need to be a compiled language rather than scripted, maybe C++ (QT5).

Hmm I'm no help then I'm afraid - good luck with it!
