Summary


Now you have a quadcopter that can be controlled by the BeagleBone Black. However, your BeagleBone Black is still controlled via wired connection. In the next chapter, you'll use some of the techniques that you learned in the previous chapters to connect with the BeagleBone Black wirelessly and fly your quadcopter. Finally, you'll use a webcam to allow your BeagleBone Black to know about its world so that it can level and fly itself. You'll also use your knowledge of path planning and a GPS to fly the quadcopter autonomously.
