Tutorials

Various tutorials in all kinds.

Piotr Esden-Tempski @ Hak5

Piotr gave (again) a series of interviews at Hack5 in which he walks through the steps, setting up a Quadrotor with the LisaMv2.
This may be very helpful for beginners since a lot of important paparazzi related stuff is explained.
The videos also contain some additional stuff which has nothing to do with paparazzi.
