About
About Me:
i enjoy robotics and i mainly use arduino and a enjoy flying planes
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
like in the about me i do a lot of robotics so combining it with flying things (another favourite hobby) is really great

"Most hobby IC engines put out much less power than there rated for. Anyone who has compared nitro and electric rc cars will know this. Electric RC cars have waaayyyy more power than there nitro equivalents (size, weight), longer run times (compared…"
"I received a esc with the cap soldered on backwards causing it to explode when plugged in."
"Here's the build log http://scapeoflegends.com/pictures.php. It appears there actually building a scale model of a cargo transport jet....um yeah. Well at least they aren't asking for 180,000"
"Why would you need 180,000$ to fund the production of 1000$ pieces of foam? It kinda makes me suspicious. There "ruggedized" airframe looks a radian pro.
What annoys me the most is the deliberate attempt to obscure commercial diy drones hardware."

"1. If you watch the whole thing you'd realize it's not anti drone
2. 3DR robotics(DIY drones) agreed to be in this video.
3. Chris Anderson (founder and in the video) has posted it here himself saying it was a video that he liked."

"Very cool but even though a gas engine may say it puts out 12.6 HP, they don't put out nearly that amount especially the two stroke gassers. I'd be surprised if the engine there using is able to put out 6hp"
"I just want to put in my feedback as I have used both also on there recommend platforms (3DR quad, F450 flamewheel) using default PI values but I do not have the gps on the Naza

The Naza's stability is a tad better but The Apm stable mode…"

" I would use it mostly for terrain when doing line of sight night flying. I really don't think a massive fov is necessary and would make it tough to judge depth. It could also easily accompany a cctv camera if someone wants a really wide fov for…"
"There are a number of products that would allow an arduino to control a 4 wire stepper such as the EasyDriver https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10267
Its based on the common A3967 IC "

"I want to drop this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqlptPhFmk0 of someone using a flir camera mounted on a drone. The video is very usable without a zoom.

"I agree a box cam that would fit in gimbal made for DSLRs would be awesome and would probably appeal to more markets (S800, CinemaStar). Your D15 camera is listed on ebay for 1000$ so is a price under 2000$ reasonable or would we be looking at more…"
"Many drones have a "FPV" system using a TX/RX that takes a analog composite input. So you're current output should integrate easily. It is possible to use RS/485 protocol to communicate to the apm but a TTL 5v serial protocol or PWM would be…"

It looks like there just generating a way point file and triggering a servo when it reaches that way point like you would when you're using a camera"

"does the power module only work for the apm 2.5?"
"hmm. I tried this today with my 3dr quad. It gained altitude correctly and slowly started rolling in the direction to start a flip but it never rolled hard enough for it to go past 90 degrees. Do I need to change some values?"
"how did you get all black motors? "
