#ArduPilot Project#
###Soaring fork of Ardupilot###
This fork adds code for unpowered flight, using atmospheric thermals to gain altitude. It uses a netto variometer and an Extended Kalman Filter to detect and centre thermals. Some discussion is here
Based on Peter Braswell's Ardusoar code

ArduPilot is part of Dronecode.org, a Linux Foundation collaborative project.
Dronecode encompasses projects that control flight, enable mission planning, and otherwise make drone flight and advanced functionality possible.
Dronecode development is done at the project level with coordinating and resource allocation performed by the TSC and the Board.
For information on the foundation please visit https://www.dronecode.org and https://github.com/Dronecode for further information or contact celder@dronecode.org
The ArduPilot project is open source and we encourage participation and code contributions: guidelines for contributors to the ardupilot codebase
We have an active group of Beta Testers especially for ArduCopter to help us find bugs: release procedures
Desired Enhancements and Bugs can be posted to the issues list.
Helping other users with log analysis on diydrones.com and the APM forums is always appreciated:
There is a group of wiki editors as well in case documentation is your thing: ardu-wiki-editors@googlegroups.com
Developer discussions occur on drones-discuss@google-groups.com
