dRonin is an autopilot/flight controller firmware for flight controllers in the OpenPilot/Tau Labs family. It's aimed at a variety of use cases: acro/racing, autonomous flight and vehicle research.
As of December 2015, dRonin is in being actively developed. dRonin seeks to improve acro/racing performance and autotuning on all targets, and push forwards with better autonomous flight and navigation functionality.
