We are excited to announce that Ascend Engineering has joined the Dronecode Foundation as a Silver member, bringing its expertise in custom drone integration services to the PX4 community.
Ascend Engineering is a leading provider of specialized drone solutions, offering a range of services including sensor and camera integration, software engineering, companion computer integration, communications integration, and QGC customization. Ascend’s experience with the core PX4 ecosystem projects positions them as a welcome addition to the Dronecode membership.
The Ascend Engineering team will lend this wealth of expertise and contribute its Flight Testing operations for the upstream PX4 and QGroundControl projects in coordination with the PX4 & QGC maintainer teams. The testing will directly improve the upcoming PX4 v1.16 and QGC v5.0 releases and is a welcome addition to the community resources.
“Ascend Engineering joined Dronecode to help companies develop PX4, QGroundControl, and MAVLink-based projects while contributing back to open source. As we explored how to make the biggest impact, flight testing emerged as the best way to validate new changes and updates to the PX4 and QGroundControl codebases, ensuring they are tested in real-world conditions before reaching the market.”
Andrew Wilkins, co-founder of Ascend Engineering
Ascend Engineering’s skill set and commitment to real-world testing will be invaluable to the PX4 community. We warmly welcome Ascend Engineering to the Dronecode Foundation and look forward to the innovative contributions they will bring to open source drone technologies.
