"I actually said that you should connect the ceramic in parallel with the electro. the reason for this is that some electrolytic capacitors have significant internal resistance (ESR) and won't do much to supress higher frequency electrical…"

Jesse replied to Hugues's discussion NEVER connect a Capacitor backup or voltage protector on APM boardJesse replied to Hugues's discussion NEVER connect a Capacitor backup or voltage protector on APM board"Hughes; try changing the size and/or type of capacitor that you are using, it's possible that the cap has provided a fantastic receiver for some kind of electrical noise, changing it's size, type, or adding a small ceramic cap across it…"
Jesse commented on Stefano Santucci's blog post droneshield raspberry pi powered drone detector"it's really an AR Drone detector; in stock form they'd sound similar I Guess... if you were flying right over the top of the detector... I can say that my hex sounds very different to my quad, and I'll say that both sound different to…"
Jesse commented on Monroe Lee King Jr.'s blog post Optical Tracking"Do you think that the tech would translate to an aircraft? for example, if you set a pattern at the end of a 'runway' could you fix on it and 'follow' to land the plane?"
Matt commented on Jesse's blog post jDrones Hexa PID's"Forgive the very basic question, but the PID screen seems to have changed since this discussion so I'm seeking clarification on the recommended PID settings to start out with.
I've got a JDrones Hexa with the 880Kv motors and…"

Jesse commented on Gustav Kuhn's blog post The safety thing, again.Warning, graphic images"RL: I think that is a great idea actually, I might do some testing in the next few days as I've got my hexa in pieces... at first thought I'd suggest just using a 1A polyfuse, they're self resetting and supply more than enough power…"

Thermopile Arrays
Posted on February 2, 2013 at 4:00am 10 Comments 2 Likes
In searching for sensors to use with the Arduino, looking for something new to play with I discovered a 16x4 Thermopile array, a bit of a search revealed a manufacturer that makes a 32x31 array, these may well be within the reach of the hobbyist, giving us a way to add thermal imaging to our…
Continue Stronger landing gear
Posted on January 1, 2013 at 3:30am 0 Comments 1 Like
After tearing through countless quantities of landing legs on my drone I decided to make my own, somewhat stronger than the original legs. Through years of modifying cars I have learnt (the hard way!!) that when you make something stronger, there's always something else in the chain that will fail. So with…
Continue Upgrade to APM 2.5 or PX4?
Posted on December 27, 2012 at 5:00pm 10 Comments 0 Likes
OK, so I've got something of a dilemma... I want to upgrade my APM board as I'm still using APM1 with the analogue sensors, but I don't know if I should go with the AMP2.5 or with the PX4?
I was going to buy a new APM2.5 but I can't seem to find any that haven't already been pre-assembled or have been…
Continue New Sensors!! :-D Colision Avoidance
Posted on October 3, 2012 at 11:55pm 16 Comments 5 Likes
WooHoo so I picked up my new ultrasonic sensors from my old workplace today! that means it's time for me to start work on collision avoidance!! :-D something I desperately need hahahaha...
first stage for me is to get the arduino uno reading the sensors, I might then set it up to talk to the ardupilot board…
