APM 2.7 Microcontroller

[EliteUAV]

Hi everyone,
I'm building an autonomous quadcopter for my engineering final year project . I'm planning to use IR sensor for obstacle avoidance and i'm also planning to incorporate a failsafe system to it if possible . But the problem , is that my lecture is telling me that i have to be able to compile sketch and upload it to my microcontroller. Hence , I'm asking if the AMP 2.7 can do that ? Can I tweak the source code?

If you have some advice for my project don't hesitate ?

Thanks
Looking forward for your advice
Love u peeps

Yes, you can tweak the code. Here it is:

Arducopter and ardupilot already have failsafe. You can make it loiter, return to home or land.
