Hi Baptiste,
Sorry for the confusion we made… But as the Kiderwind hackathon takes place along with other events, the original event was moved to a common one.
Anyway by mid October we should have a ground station and the glyder / kite ready. But we won’t have the Ardupilot because we want to validate first it fits to our needs before buying it. So the hackathon will focus on this part essentially. Effectively to do “only” I understand that this may be a little bit expensive for you, but of course you are welcome. @Leo will join us to work on this part. You’re idea of using a flight simulator is excellent.
In any case we will publish the results here.
