Drone light shows used to be just for the big boys, like Intel. Not anymore.

ArduPilot is now capable of performing drone light shows, thanks to SkyBrush.

This means, ANY ArduPilot capable flight controller can become a drone light show drone. Including a Pixhawk 2.4.8 (as we used in this video).

I thought this would be an impossible project, but it really wasn't that difficult.

This project will work with any Pixhawk + Raspberry Pi drone. If you want to use the exact same drone I'm using, check out our PiHawk drone kits.
