"The Eagle Tree rpm sensor requires tapping into any two motor leads, as Mike Bakula states, probably measuring the timing between the two signals.
When I found that out, I was going to design and build one. Then I saw their price of 10 bucks and…"

"Good eye, Jack. I kept looking at that video since I first saw it last night and could not figure out why it looked strange. As soon as I saw your post, it hit me. The wings stay parallel with the horizon when the plane banks! Operationally, it…"
"There seem to be two paths for new RC pilots:
1. Buy what looks cool or scale (like a real aircraft), crash on the first attempts assuming there are more than one, throw it all in the trash and get into another hobby.
2. Buy what looks cool or…"

"the AR6100s work well in electric planes. I've used them in several EasyStars and a number of stick-and-tissue planes I have built over the years including the 2X Sparky (64" wingspan) in my avatar. They probably don't work as well with those big…"

"It would work, and Rob's link is proof. But my experience flying full scale powered paragliders in the early 90's was that they are very intolerant of wind. Anything over about 10 mph and we landed. It's hard to imagine them deploying them safely at…"
""OHH good idea about the voices, and you can personalized it like "Sink rate idiot!!, Pull up!" LOL... Of course you can adapt something more boring and serious. [jordi]
Entirely possible. AT&T has a demo site for their voice synthesis products.…"

""I often wonder how much credit the statement "arduino needs no programmer" has. Who here has actually programmed an arduino without ANY purchased hardware, like usb<->serial adapters.?"
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I have used nothing but a…"

"Wow!! This morning I was sitting at the BMW dealer getting my bike serviced and sketched out a ground station using a 4x20 LCD for my yet-to-arrive ArduPilot! My list of features includes many of those you list. Your servo outputs to control a…"
I was going through Jordi's code and he talks about multiple "tabs". I've used Visual Studio (C#) for a couple of months, and have wanted an IDE that will let me do something similar with my Arduino, particularly with Jordi's code. But how do you do…
