I'm Burak, based in Oslo. Mostly I contribute upstream to open-source robotics, autonomous-driving simulation and local LLM projects.

Offline checker for PX4 control allocation (CA_*) parameters: runs PX4's own allocation code on a parameter file and reports the resulting matrices and likely configuration mistakes.
