About Me:
I am new to this hobby, but know a bit about electronics after a 2 year degree as Electrical or Electronic Engineering Technician. I am now working as a lineman.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I love everything from gadgets to airplanes, and everything in between, so when I found DIYdrones, I was hoked. Looking forward to build a autonomous EasyStar.

"@Eagle: Indeed it is a part of the hobby. Thanks for the advise. I actually used both magnets (Some weary cheap and bad ones) and some velcro. But the glue/tape on the velcro has loosened a lot, and some bad magnets and the added weight of the GoPro…"
I recently bought a GoPro (HD Hero2) for my EasyStar, but managed to crash it before I could mount the camera. But I just had to see the HD footage from the sky's, so I glued the EasyStar together again. I throw it in the air and immediately felt it…
I tried to search, but are there any lifting capacity graphs (flight time and battery calculated in) for the 3DR frame withthe 880Kv motors? If not, what is the lifting capacity with the 880Kv motors and a pretty much standard 3DR frame (I know a…
"Thanks a lot for your replays, never thought I was going to learn so much about anti-static packaging today :-) .

"I put the foam between the probes, and i could not measure it (1 MΩ <). Even when I measure my body I got less resistance than that.
The pink or green bags are made of low-charging material, i.e. the bag itself will not create harmful charges, but…"

"I tested the resistant and got 1 MΩ < . So I took a chance and put power on the board. Everything worked fine, but this is only about 5V. I guess the result would be something different with some high voltage static shock.

"I used the pink bags the APU and IMU came in. I am quit sure this is anti-static bag, and a good material for this purpose. Or am I wrong about this?

"I found using 3 zip ties a good solution. I didn't get the ties tight enough, so I used the packaging the APM and IMU came in underneath the board:"
"I just got this product, and I was wondering, is the ArduPilot Mega board suppodes to be screwed or glued/taped to the base plate?"
"Haha, nice one Alpo!"
"Yes it is, but this is not to blame on the ArduPilot.
It's just me trying and failing with the code and config tool to get it working properly.
It seems like the radius setting was sett far to high because it was in meters, and not feet. (60 m)
That…"

I have never had a major crash (except some stupid nosedives) until today.After the first waypoint ArduPilot suddenly decided my EasyStar was to high, and before I could recover control it disappeared behind some tress.It was quit a loud bang when…
Hi, I have an EasyStar with the original ArduPilot. I have done a lot of test's and it flew great in all modes except the auto mode. In the auto mode it hits every waypoint like it should, but before doing so it circles around and around.So instead…
I have a small problem with the ArduPilot when I put it in both FLY_BY_WIRE_A and FLY_BY_WIRE_B, the rudder goes almost full to the left, not all the way but say 80%. The rudder still works both ways, and everything else works fine in both the…

"Must not be confused with the Replay XD camera, this is the Replay XD1080. Same company, not same camera.
Yes, Replay XD looks like it has terrible quality."
