Cameras Compatible with ArduPilot

"Yeah, I also made some research work with BS2 + Parallax GPS, its possibe to get heading to specific coordinate, how to turn etc. with integer math. Memory gets full very fast. I had no PWM Rx input, I was about to do mechanical turnig equipment…"

"My first autopilot was a Basic Stamp one. What a mistake! No floating point, tiny memory, etc. You can see it and get the code here, but suffice to say it never flew. There is absolutely no good reason to use Basic Stamps anymore, now that Arduino…"

"The AttoPilot Propeller chip is far different from a Basic Stamp. The Basic Stamp will only do integer math. Not the choice for math intensive flying."

I have a Parallax Board of Education. I was wondering whether I could use this for my first UAV. All I would be doing is having the plane fly in a circle formation. Would this work?

"Yes, alot of us have this equipt... just remember to plan your spectrum needs for your whole project. Your R/C and your video downlink and then telemetry, etc.; each has to have its own freq."

"I looked at RangeVideo and I saw some good stuff. I'm just not sure which to get. I want a 2.4GHz transmitter, nothing too expensive. Here is the link: http://www.rangevideo.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=35_22"

"You won't be able to stream video via Ardupilot, it can only handle data for telemetry. If you want a video link you will need a separate video Tx and Rx with a camera"
