1 Note that you can get 40% discount with developer registration that we have to create in order to activate DJI's Onboard SDK. Otherwise, we can't send commands to the N1 autopilot. Therefore, we list 40% discounted price in the part list. For the registration, please have a look https://developer.dji.com/ and you will receive discount vouchers.
2 Intel unfortunately discontinued the production of ZR300. Optionally Mouser is one of the places where you can purchase it but this is a stripped-down sensor module that requires power board and special connectors photo. We do not recommend to purchase this module unless you already other mentioned parts. There may be some left-over stocks in your local retail suppliers (e.g., digitec) but it seems over-priced. In case you are interested in using alternative VI-sensors, please have a look this page.
3 You may be able to have a higher-performance NUC (e.g., NUC7i7DNHE webpage) with the correct combinations of other components (DDR4 RAM, and SSD most importantly). Please check also the form factor, chassis, and the hardware design to see whether our 3D model still can be used for these newest models.
