"The blimpduino looked nice. unfortunately it is in the middle of a rebuild hiatus. Inspired by the blimpduino and unable to find it anywhere, Ive been building up my own. Using quadcoptor sensors posed some weight and pinout problems but they free…"

Hi there,i would like to know if i could use the Arduino Deumilanove or the nano w/328 board for autopilot control on my blimp.The board should be able to drive 3 dc motors,hook up the XBees for wireless telemetry and other sensors. Please do recommend me one thats cheap and reliable(besides Ardupilot) and satisfies all the above.I'm new to arduino programming and i hope to kick start with some basics.See More

AeroBoy commented on Chris Anderson's blog post ArduPilot main page"hi Guys,
ive just bought the Ardupilot and the Xbee sheild kit(meant for Arduino inventors kit). I'm making a blimp that needs to be controlled autonomously through a ground station.
I am also not using the x,y and z sensors and also the…"
AeroBoy commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Switching your ArduPilot power to a separate battery"okay guys..im confused here. im using the ardupilot for my blimp and am using the xbee wireless retail to tx motor commands from a groundstation/vicon system. so in this case i can just stick to batt power for my ardupilot as the rest of the onboard…"
AeroBoy commented on profmason's blog post Blimpduino project underway"hey chris,just to check with you. ive got the xbee retail kit and how can i integrate it with the ardupilot 2.x?"
daryl tan left a comment for AeroBoy"icic. how about the coursework? is it more theory based or project based? i read online that qut aerospace avionics students get a more project based kind of work.
how about the career prospects of students in the course? :)
TIA."

daryl tan left a comment for AeroBoy"yo bro. thanks for the reply man. nah i'm currently considering whether to accept qut offer. i applied for bachelor of engineering (aerospace avionics).
would like to know more about what you do as the year advances from year 1 onwards. :)"
AeroBoy left a comment for daryl tan"Hey man. What is ur major btw? Its a challenging course though..but its doable.."
AeroBoy commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Note on ArduPilot's FTDI port and why you can't power the board with it"So guys meaning to say. Now i want to power up my Ardupilot which i just recieved and i have a FTDI cable. Can i connect it to a power source(in my lab) and then connect the FTDI cable to my pc?"
AeroBoy commented on Chris Anderson's blog post ArduPilot main page"Hey chris,
i would like to order the ardupilot board but i would like to know any suppliers in australia?

daryl tan left a comment for AeroBoy"hey there. i saw your about me and i just wanna know more about the current course you're doing at QUT. i am considering whether to enter the aerospace avionics course at QUT.
hope to hear from you. thanks :)"
AeroBoy commented on Chris Anderson's blog post ArduPilot and BlimpDuino status updates"i am actually building an autonomous blimp that has to navigate its way through an enclosed room and find its target and with a wireless camera ,it should be able to transmit info back to the ground station.
I am unsure if Blimpduino supports…"
