Broken PDB? - Voltage on Signal Pins

After several flights with my new hexa, I've run into a problem. Motor number 3 does not spin when the others do. Long story short, I narrowed it down to something with the PDB. If I plug motor 3…Continue

5.8 GHz and 433 MHz Interference
Started this discussion. Last reply by Bjarni Sep 18, 2012. 1 Reply 0 Likes
In my attempts to throw together a somewhat long range system for my plane, I've run into a few issues. First, the equipment in question is a 500mW 5.8 GHz video tx, and a 433 Mhz RC rx. I'm aware…Continue

John VG commented on Eric Tweet's blog post Criminalizing Drones in Oregon"In the Oregon bill, we really take issue with how "drone" is defined and feel that it is too far reaching. It has the potential criminalize RC hobbyists, FPV flying and so on. "
Kevin Brown commented on Eric Tweet's blog post Criminalizing Drones in Oregon"I signed.
Florida has a bill too but is aimed at law enforcement and Gov. I agree with it !
Some are good! "

Michael Leasure commented on Eric Tweet's blog post Criminalizing Drones in Oregon"This sort of idiocy will have to sort itself out. People fear our "big brother" toys. In the mean time, fly safe, demonstrate legitimate applications, remain positive and engaged in legislation. If you need to spy on your neighbor…"
John VG commented on Eric Tweet's blog post Criminalizing Drones in Oregon"Thanks for picking up this story. I work at ATI and we have put together a petition to try and end this bill before it gains any momentum and moves into the Oregon House. Keep in mind similar legislation is currently being introduced in 11…"

Scott Berfield commented on Eric Tweet's blog post Criminalizing Drones in Oregon"Typical idiotic political nonsense. I guess there ar eno real problems to address so the legislators are feeling creative."
Harry commented on Eric Tweet's blog post Criminalizing Drones in Oregon"The problem I see is that the FAA currently doesnt say you can't fly, and Oregon is proposing that you need to be permitted. I dont know of any NAS airspace where the State's jurisdiction comes first. It would be a big problem…"

"This is one of many such bills being put forward. Folks remember the AMA is no longer at the UAS table. They have ring fenced their activity.
I chose to highlight this particular bill at sUAS News because it is the one with the most bunkum in it."
Emile L. commented on Eric Tweet's blog post Criminalizing Drones in Oregon"If the Bill is to control privacy issues then the location of the camera is irrelevant. The higher up you go the more powerful a camera you can use. Just look at Google Earth!
I think they are scared of where the the hobby/industry can go. By…"

Sad news from the northwest. It sounds like it may become a Class B Misdemeanor to simply own a drone capable of video or photo, and a Class A to fly it.

I've managed to get everything up and running again! This is my newish hexa from uDrones (I've decided to forgo a rant on that subject for now). After working around my PDB issue (still unsolved) and engaging in some…
Continue APM1 > APM2?
Posted on June 13, 2012 at 10:00pm 7 Comments 0 Likes
To avoid confusion, I ought to preface this post by mentioning that I began tests quite some time ago with the APM2 purple board. Since then I've gotten my hands on it's older brother the APM1 (hey, they're cheap now and then!). I have the APM2 in my heli now, so I decided to throw the APM1 on my quad in place of the APM2 to see how things compare...
So that might be a bit of an excessive title, but if I didn't know the differences between the two boards, I…

As requested, here is a clip of one of my test flights with the APM2 on my 600. This may be the most boring video ever, but in this case, boring is exciting! The APM2 works amazingly well mounted on Align gel, where a tail gyro normally sits. Stabilization is very good using …
