Holybro is a company specialized in flight controllers, GPS, and other drone-related components. We have a few tutorials on how to connect ArduSimple RTK receivers to Holybro autopilots.
We have been informed by some of our customers that Holybro stopped shipping orders due to “unexpected operational delays”. Their website states: All shipments are currently delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.
It’s more than a month now.
What is causing the delays?
Actually only Holybro knows. Social media posts speculate about multiple causes: tariffs, geopolitical restrictions, operational issues… Holybro has not released an official statement.
What can you do?
You can still try to find Holybro parts in stock through distributors. However, if the issue continues, some items may be completely unavailable soon.
If you are looking for alternatives, for autopilot parts check other suppliers based on Ardupilot. Transition to the new vendor will be much easier, if it’s using the same core and protocol. You can check a complete list of equivalent autopilots in the Ardupilot site.
For the GPS board and antenna, we have prepared a list of equivalent parts from ArduSimple:
