"Any update on this?"
"Looking good Jani! Is it recommended to use an opto-isolated ESC or one with a built-in BEC now? I've been building an octo and haven't decided myself. http://www.hobbywing.com/product_show.asp?id=199"
"The first was really 1922:"
"What have people been doing to use the jDrones PDB on an octocopter? Hooking two ESCs straight to the APM2? I'm curious as to which ESCs are being used and if they have a BEC as well."
"Chris, my APM 2 shipped Wednesday. Will this be with it, or do they start shipping with it next week?"
"Cool!
Is it an actual photo, or a frame from a video?"

"ahhh, I wish I could have gone there :) Chris, where are those landing fins on the ArduCopter from?"
"Good idea. Just note that "shields" is misspelled ;)"
"I didn't receive my retail kit yet and this list I have might not be current with the shipped ones, but here it is:

"I'm not sure if anyone has done it, but some rewiring would have to be done to use a LiPo with the Turnigy 9x. Normally, it uses 8x AA batteries."
"I've been designing a UAV around this fuel cell with 5 other people and a sponsor from Lockheed Martin for my Senior Design class. Not too much to share with everyone here yet...maybe in a month :-)"
"...not to be a downer, but all of that info is already in one place along with quick links to the different sections and it is being updated frequently."

The only way to mount the APM with this code is forward as in the (+) configuration. If you are flying it in the (+) configuration, there is no need to change the code. If you want to fly the (x) configuration, there are two lines of…"

haha, I added that, but I was going to wait to post the link for you guys here until Jose looked at it and made sure it was fine. That's okay though :)
Yay first public release! Good work guys!"

"Just so you know, this doesn't record 1080p or 720p 60fps, so it isn't as good as the HD Hero. This one goes up to 960p and 720p 30fps.
