"From memory Trimble's equivalent ~$10k :("

"Thanks Chris, It was the SPI label that threw me."

"Is there an ICSP header ?"

"My only suggestion would be make sure you use stackable headers for the shields this time like the regular arduino shields. With the first expansion board that was made the headers were not stackable and were offset for additional boards."

"Jordi just to confirm, all the holes on the board are breadboard compatible ? Just wanted to say that I am so glad that you guys are getting community input before reaching a final design. This is a great step forward."

"Another interestiing point is that this appears to be an instance of commercial operation of a UAV within Australia. I was under the impression that this was essentially impossible with the current regulations."

"A question for with regards to thermopile replacement, The magnetometer is required because there is no GPS ? But 3 of the 4 systems that this is looking already have one on board. Was this decision not to have gps info fed through the imu based on…"

"The link on the main page needs updating Chris :)"

"Aren't winch servos limited to the number of times they can rotate 360 degrees ie. 3 or 4 rotations ?"

"Fefenin, I just tried it with 16 and it works also, cheers. Also had a deeper look in the repository and it looks as if the Ardupilot 1.0 code available to download is the most recent."

"Hi Fefenin, When you verified/compiled the ardupilot 1.0 code you did not get the following error ? In function 'void loop()': error: 'reset_PIDs' was not declared in this scope In function 'void…"

"I understand that Ardupilot1.0 is no longer supported but it seems a shame that most of the 1.0 code isn't available in the repository. The version available to download does not compile correctly."

"Is the closing time right Chris ? doesn't give us a lot of time. 'Winning entries must be posted in the comments below by midnight PST on Sunday, September 4th.'"

"Don't forget Michal B's approach for X Plane using only the FTDI cable, the Ardupilot (running modified code) and his program. http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A57741&page=3#comment-705844_Comment_57857"

"An interesting read, thanks Jack."

"not with a $115 sensor package you can't :P"

"Is this affecting both the 3.3v and 5v sparkfun FTDI boards ?"

"I also came across this today. I've sent an email to the ACMA regarding this and reccomendations for telemetry and video for the challenge. I also asked Mick what previous teams had used as I noticed some American teams had used 900mhz in the…"

"On the Sparkfun Website items are shipped to me via USPS First Class Mail International Package on my latest box to arrive, 1 lb First Class international was $10.76. Endicia.com was also on the label which seems to be some form of online label…"

"If the number of Ardupilots sold is anything to go buy I think you will be fine :)"
