Ask HN: What is the best programmable drone, sub $400?5 points·by anand·11 anni fa·0 commentsI'd like a nice, simple API where I can set relative XYZ position so I can program indoor flight paths. Here's what I've found:• $3300 DJI Matrice 100, nice API with XYZ support, but pricey• $550 Parrot Bebop 2, decent API but only supports yaw/pitch/roll setting• $300 Parrot AR Drone 2 cheaper but API is ancient, docs are from 2012• $180 Crazyflie, API looks quite rough, doesn't seem to have as nice stability stuff as other drones mentioned here.• $179 CoDrone, kickstarter project with nice Arduino api not available until AprilWould love any input on stuff I might have missed!0 commentsPost comment—
