Futaba T8J Transmitter Mode Selection
Posted on November 21, 2012 at 10:30am 4 Comments 0 Likes
Just thought I would share my Arducopter mode setup on my new Futaba T8J, as this can be a bit of a headache for newcomers. The new T8J radio is my new favorite transmitter. It offers a lot of features that was only offered on the 8FG, but at a fraction of the price. It doesn't utilize FASST, rather S-FHSS. With the…

A Work in Progress
Posted on October 8, 2012 at 9:30am 9 Comments 1 Like
It has been some time since my last blog post. I have kept myself busy with work and projects. For the last couple of years I have been working on trying to develop an airframe that combines aesthetics with functionality. Some may remember some of my previous blog posts where I presented my attempts this.
I have never been satisfied with most of the kits offered through other retailers. They all seem to incorporate the same parts and means of…

Michael Pursifull said… Is this the ublox? And ublox adaptor? If so, I encourage you to give the battery-backed ublox adaptor a try, if you don't mind giving store.diydrones a second chance. The battery-backed unit allows faster fixes for the ublox. I have two of them.
I cut a tiny bit of foam, about 1mm thick, and push it between the adaptor and GPS unit, makes for better fitting for me. Some people use hot glue to get a level mating. The boards only connect at one point, so they can "leaver" a bit with the connector as the axis.
