An Arduino Micro Clone

Hello, my name is Jordi. I'm currently a high school senior, but I will be graduating in a few weeks, after which I will be attending university with a major in Electrical Engineering. I've been a long-time follower of the diydrones community and have made a few posts in the past. In August of last year I made a blog post…See More

Jordi Orlando commented on SkyrisFX's blog post Building a unique GoPro Gimbal for the 3DR Hexa - Part 2 (video below)
"I did some research a while back and it seems as though G10 is a pretty common material for multicopters and is often CNC'd. As long as the dust/particles are vacuumed I'd guess it's fairly safe. Obviously a respirator is a…"

"Also, it might save weight to split the gimbal into two parts. For example, you could attach the gimbal between the ends of the front two arms, and then just add a new battery plate between the back two to balance the weight. Just my two cents…"

"I'm currently building a custom quad using G10. I purchased mine from McMaster-Carr. For a 12" x 24" sheet of 1/16" thick black flame-retardant G10/FR4 the item number is 85345K21 (phew, that was lengthy...). In my experience…"

"Looks good! One thing you might consider to improve vibration dampening is to move the pitch axis to the center of the gimbal so that the entire H tilts. This makes use of the gimbal's inertia much like a steadicam does. Also, you may want to…"

"Hi Tom!     APM communicates using the MAVLink protocol. I'm pretty sure there's already an Arduino library available that allows you to interface with it, but if not then I will definitely write one. With MAVLink support comes…"

Tom commented on Jordi Orlando's blog post An Arduino Micro Clone
"This is a great project! Great idea as well! One question that I have for you is would you be able to "plug" it in to the existing APM that we know and love, or would this be a stand alone card that would control just the lighting and what…"

Jordi Orlando replied to Frank's discussion ArduPilot Mega 3.0 wishes ;-)
"@Luke I very much agree, the idea of having an all-in-one IMU like the one on the current APM is very appealing and I hope they stay with that. Does anyone have any idea when the APM 3.0 will be released? I remember seeing something about Q1 2013,…"

"@Jason Yeh, I do agree that simplicity is nice. If I want a GCS I'd rather lean towards a purpose-built rig, perhaps in a vehicle. @Stefan Very true, yet compatibility between the devices could be really cool. Great work!"

Introducing Glowduino!

Posted on August 5, 2012 at 5:30pm 15 Comments

Hi, my name is Jordi. I am currently building the first Glowduino prototype, and would like to gauge the interest level in the community. I guess I should tell you what it is.

Glowduino is an Arduino-compatible LED controller board for use on multicopters. It utilizes a TLC5947 to provide constant-current sinks…
