I will await the arrival.  Until then maybe I can make my mini arcade machine.

At Bradley and Chris, I really need to cross over to the other side. I also have a PI and been wanting to get a ArduCopter flying. Time to make that leap. Thanks, just the motivation I need.

Bradley: We've already got MAVelous running Rasperry Pi, generating a HTML GCS over WiFi. Stay tuned for a product based on this soon.

I have a Raspberry PI sitting here infront of me and would like to know if you think using this to control the Mission planner and contolling the copter would be good?  I have never done anything with the PI but maybe loading the linux OS, Then I wouldn't have to thave my laptop with me.

you dont need it to start, but when you are more experienced flying maybe as it just adds more to break learning

Try going here  http://www.rcgroups.com/video-piloting-fpv-rpv-469/

there are multiple threads to choose from relating to fpv and on board cameras

John can you start a thread.. which is much easier to contain and get comments from the community.

Comment by John ku on March 26, 2013 at 7:07am

Please pardon me if I've posted my question in the wrong forum.

I am a complete newbee aspiring to build my very own Tricopter. I would like to mount a camera (GoPro) on board and I suspect I would need a video transmitter and a video receiver if I want to fly FPV (i.e. see where I'm flying). Can someone please explain or point me in the right direction for step by step instructions?

Many Thanks

John
