Autonomous Flight QuadCopter

[Karan]

Hello all,

I am new to this forum and wanted to find out a little bit more about quadcopters. I am currently in the process of developing a quadcopter to autonomously fly and give "tours" of our facilities. I am proficient with most programming languages but my question for everyone here is what they recommend me using to develop said autonomy.

I ordered a CrazyFlie 2.0 since its open for programming but found myself having a fair amount of trouble since the community is not very big. I would prefer a quadcopter that is open for development and has a fairly large amount of documentation or community to learn it quickly.


Thanks in advance for any help you guys might have!

@holtneil: This is great!! Thank you so much, but I was looking to purchase a kit that I can simply assemble the quadcopter and have an environment or means to program it with way points. Any suggestions?
