In a book about Pixhawk drones, you may be asking, "Where's the programming of the Pixhawk?!" We'd be remiss in a book about designing purpose-built drones if we didn't cover something on the water. Plus, we want to show you that there are similarities between land and water drones. What we really wanted to get deeper into is the design and prototyping of an idea. Now that we've covered the modeling, and construction of your own design (we covered modeling, printing, water-sealing, design, sketching, identifying problems, and construction testing); in the next chapter, we're going to get much deeper into the Pixhawk.
We'll be taking a (pretty much) fully constructed vehicle (a motorized golf trolly), and adapting it for Pixhawk. We'll also be getting into using a mobile device (via Bluetooth) to control your drone, as well as getting deeper into the configuration of Pixhawk.
From here in, now that you're an expert in turning your construction designs into reality we're going to be...
