#Raspberry Pi Drone Software
This software is designed for running on a Raspberry Pi connected to the internet and a Pixhack autopilot, collecting data and communicating with both. It is written in pure Python.
Once an updated version of Raspbian is installed, the following installation steps must also be followed.
- Install dependencies. All commands should be done as root, or prefixed with sudo. Should either of the last two steps fail, ffmpeg must be installed via a different method such as source compilation.
apt-get install -y libopencore-armnb-dev libopencore-armwb-dev python-pyaudio python-dev
apt-get remove python-pip
