The original ArduCopter is a project of the DIYdrones team.

The ArduPirates project focuses on speeding up development on ArduCopter especially by integrating self controlling mechanisms without any commercial interests or targets.

The base of this project is Hein's Code which is an exit of the "official" ArduCopter Code coming from http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/.

The new code will support Quads, Hexa- and Octocopters.

First project is the Arducopter Super Stable Code by Hein and Phil with GPS Hold.
