Why We Use ArduPilot for Our Drones – And Why We Love It

At Light Dynamix, our goal is to manufacture great drones that work for you. And when it comes to flight control software, we  believe in using the best tools available. That’s why we proudly use the ArduPilot firmware stack to power our drones. We're an official Ardupilot partner to ensure we're always maintaining our competitive edge with our solutions.

Why ArduPilot?

There are plenty of flight control systems out there, but with it's open-source, incredibly capable, and constantly improving firmware, ArduPilot stands out from all the rest, giving us the additional tools to build our light show drones to the highest specs possible. Unlike proprietary manufacturers we can continue to improve and add new features based on feedback from our operators much quicker thanks to a worldwide development network.

ArduPilot isn’t just firmware, it’s a global network of developers, engineers and drone enthusiasts who work together to make it better. With hundreds-of-thousands of users worldwide constantly testing and improving, that means our drones are always running on technology that’s being refined and improved by some of the best minds in the industry.

Coupled with our specially developed motherboard for swarm applications this partnership positions Dynamix as leaders in the swarm-tech sector.
