Hey ho,

I was wondering how does the future shape up for CC3D and librepilot.

It's been amazing that you've provided support for CC3D in the first LP release and it's still a capable little board, plus cheap as beans.
I doubt I'm a good enough pilot to excuse me upgrading to a better board, but on the other hand I'd not want to be left behind.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that we're hitting pretty much the limits of what this FC is capable of.

From my own experience:
- I've seen CPU alarm getting orange when I move my quad while hooked up via USB
- for autotune in dRonin to work you have to disable as much modules as possible (+ inputs) to free up resources

What are your predictions? Are you planning to continue supporting CC3D in the future? Is anything planned in order to make certain modules optional?

Note: I'm not sure how and if that even makes sense, but I've read about disabling accelerometer for non-stabilised flight in other FC software, where that frees up some resources.

CC3D already has modules disabled, unused modules do not waste memory.

Current plan is reduce time used for Accelerometers and increase Gyro rate, that works already but need some work to apply the same for F4 targets.
CC3D can run at 60% CPU after this changes.

We still continue to support CC3D but should stop soon the CC (analog sensors) and allow some ADC support in CC3D.

Thanks for the reply! That's amazing.

In rcgroups Kevin kc10kevin is developing a stripped down racing version. For example almost all solder pads almost no headers. Yet one version at the moment has a uSD for logging. These are all still purely development prototypes. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2628430

For those of you who don't recognise the handle, Kevin used to build CC3Ds after OP stopped and before HK and other got into the act. I have one, been flying perfectly for about 3 years. So these are not stupid cheap chinese crap all solid stuff.
