"Adam, The Kinect is fragile, takes about an amp of current during operation, and requires a processing capability beyond the Arduino. Just a thought. Regards, TCIII"

I understand. Good luck with the new job prospects. The reason I asked if you had been sucessful with using the ardupilot with the RC Truck was because I would like to see how much it would cost to have you build the system for me. By the way, what truck is that? I want to get started with the arduino but it would be a lot better if I already had a system like this to really get me started on the right track.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Dustin,

Well that sounds interesting and something I'll consider. How much sir? What is included?

I was kind of hoping I would find someone like you that had worked with this challenge and then start sharing codes and experiments and so on. I’m unemployed too but I’m in desperate need of a new project to keep from going brain dead.

Will your system track to GPS waypoints? In your video you stated that you had the ardupilot in for repairs and I wonder if it did work and also did it connect to the arduino so that you could use your very cool obstacle sensors and code. Which ardupilot would I need?

I sent this message again because I wasn't sure if it made into this thread. If you would like you can email me directly since this comment deal is kind of acting up.

Thanks,
Bill Jenkins
