"Well it sounds like you have the same hardware I had when making those tests so I don't see any reason why you wouldn't get the same results! We did have 11x47 props though I believe and I'm not sure if using 12x47s would put too much…"

roger commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Arducopter Hexa 3DR Frame Now on Pre-Order!"Jeff,
Thanks for the reply.
I do have the old frame! My all up weight right now is 2kg and flying for 5 minutes with a 5000mah 3s battery. After everything cools down the battery voltage is around 11.3v.
So keeping the 12" prop and 880kv motors…"
Jeff Taylor commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Arducopter Hexa 3DR Frame Now on Pre-Order!"Roger,
These stats are for the old hexacopter frame - the new style frame is a little smaller and actually will not fit anything larger than 11 inch props. So you'll have to get the smaller props unless you have one of the original frames (with…"
roger commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Arducopter Hexa 3DR Frame Now on Pre-Order!"Jeff,
The 3kg+ all up weight is very enticing ... the propeller you used on the 880kv motor test involved an 11x47 apc prop ... However, I have stock up on the 12x47 so the question is, do you have an opinion on the impact of using the 12 propeller…"
Jeff Taylor replied to ALK's discussion GRID vs GRID V2 - Is there any difference?"After you make a mission, it shows the total distance covered in the upper left corner of the screen."
Marcelo Gomes commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Mapping with E382 and DroneMapper"
If you calculate number o shots * interval time = time to shutdown lens. It's more simple.

Brenden commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Mapping with E382 and DroneMapper"Jeff- Thanks!
So,if I understand correctly, the script you are using allows you to put in a start delay where you specify when you want the intervalometer to begin and then when you are done capturing photos you can use a switch on your RC tx to…"
Jeff Taylor commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Mapping with E382 and DroneMapper"Hey Brendan, sure - check out the TvEvent38.bas file linked at this page:
http://event38.wikispaces.com/E382+Setup+Guide
I've tested it and it does work well on the SX260!"
Brenden commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Mapping with E382 and DroneMapper"Jeff, thanks for posting! would you be willing to share the CHDK script you are using? I have several simple ones that allow me to start and stop an intervalometer script and it works great but I'm not sure how to get the lens to retract before…"
Jeff Taylor commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Mapping with E382 and DroneMapper"Morgan, There is a tool in the Mission Planner software which helps you pick the appropriate flight line widths based on those criteria. It's in the Flight Planner tab.. right click on the map, and navigate to Map Tool -> Camera."
Morgan Newburry commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Mapping with E382 and DroneMapper"Hi Jeff, do you know how to determine your flight line widths? I know this will be a combination of camera specs, altitude, %overlap required but I wondering if there is a online calculator available to work all that out?
Cheers
Morgan"
Jeff Taylor commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New Hampshire considering aerial photography ban"A ban won't work against the people who actually intend harm. Someone should run a kickstarter for an open source version of Roman Abramovich's anti-camera lasers."
Jeff Taylor replied to Quinn McLaughlin's discussion DSLR control from ArduCopter"Unfortunately most cameras make it very difficult to control them remotely. It's possible to communicate in a limited way with CHDK cameras by sending pulses to the USB port but the data rate is extremely slow because chdk can only read pulses…"
Jeff Taylor replied to Max Xam's discussion Magnetic disturbance from arducopter"No, but empirically speaking it does work."
Jeff Taylor replied to stephen harrod's discussion suitable aircrft kits"EasyStar and Skywalker are really the best options, just pick based on how big you want/don't mind it being."
Jeff Taylor replied to Max Xam's discussion Magnetic disturbance from arducopter"Yea it's definitely vibration. On a GoPro you can solve this by increasing the frame rate to 60fps, not sure if that's possible with your camera."

Using UAS for Environmental Studies
Posted on February 5, 2013 at 2:00pm 2 Comments 6 Likes
At Event 38, part of our goal of offering low-cost, ready to fly UAS is to promote their adoption into a variety of alternate uses. We recently partnered with the physics and engineering departments of Universidad de Chile to explore the viability using an E382 to study low altitude atmospheric…
Continue Reprocessing Old Aerial Photos

I decided to run some older imagery I came across the other day through photoscan and came up with some pretty cool results. Above is the park behind 3d Robotics where I used to fly after work. Below is an aerial shot of the 3DR neighborhood.…
