I currently am in possession of a ARM Cortex-A8 development board, complete with graphics processor(PowerVR SGX) and Android support. If you need any hardware to test software on, I'll be willing to help. It has a screen, though pretty low res(480x272), and the LCD interface got a small issue, but I'll fix this very soon. It also has only 256 MB of RAM. > On Wednesday, May 18, 2011 03:12:24 PM Curtis Olson wrote: > > On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 1:58 PM, Claus Christmann <h...@gatech.edu> wrote: > > > Have you looked at the "ground control station" for the Parrot AR Drone? > > > http://youtu.be/wtlp7jwvkd4 > > > > The Parrot AR drone is a cool product, but that's a proprietary system, > > right?
