The thought occurs to me, that if one were to combine a combination of stealth technology, quad-copter technology, autonomous piloting technology, and rocket booster technology, you's have all the makings for what appear to be legit UFO events.

Does it work with the 3dr solo?

Is anyone working on flight controllers in Rust? Now that the STM targets are maturing it seems like a perfect target. I can only find stub projects and blog posts right now.

What hardware is required for this?

As the README indicates, this is a networking client library to control JJRC H61 drones over their built-in network control protocol, with the goal apparently being to abstract over the control protocol for a variety of drones.

You’re trying hard to get the word out on Rust. Are you affiliated with the project in any capacity?

No, but https://github.com/3drobotics/rust-mavlink would. The enterprise version of Solo actually ships with a Rust app running on the onboard computer for camera control, which uses rust-mavlink to talk to the autopilot.

I've been on sabbatical for a while but a while back it was pretty much C, C or C.

Not really, I'm just a fan of the ideas in Rust and it's nice to see codebases that do interesting stuff.
