Comment by Bradley J Carr on March 28, 2013 at 2:20pm I will await the arrival. Until then maybe I can make my mini arcade machine.
Comment by Copter Richie on March 28, 2013 at 12:25pm 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.
Comment by Bradley J Carr on March 28, 2013 at 12:18pm 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

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
Comment by Michael Jensen on March 20, 2013 at 2:25pm Hexcopter - power question - JP1 jumper - in or out??
Configuration -
APM 2.5
4S 4000 LiPo
3DR 915MHz radio
1200 Sonar
Ext GPS
Should the jumper be installed or not?
No camera yet but likely to be a pan/tilt affair with GoPro
thanks
mike
