"no, it's not a kind of DCM, it's a quaternion, which uses different maths to the DCM.
Our old code used DCM, when we compared the performance they are very similar, but the quaternion requires fewer calculations."

Did you compare your fusion algo to DCM implementation ?"
Max Bruner commented on Max Bruner's blog post R10 Maiden flights and other videos!"Thanks Stephane, we're using quaternions, we actually posted some of the flight code that we're working on here: http://uair.co/content/r10-and-thalamus-full-system-miaden-flights you can take a look if you like."
Stephane Rocca commented on Max Bruner's blog post R10 Maiden flights and other videos!"It appears to be very smooth, congrats Max...
What sensor fusion algo do you use to achieve 800 Hz ?"

Until this weekend, we have been testing our newer frames with our older Forebrain/Seraphim flight controllers. But this weekend marks a milestone in R10 development with the first time we were able to fy the full R10 system (the R10 frame with the newer Thalamus flight controller).Above is a video of a full R10 system flying Thalamus at 800Hz quaternion/attitude update and 140Hz PID loop. In this video, the old Forebrain/Seraphim units were still attached to allow us to quickly switch over…See More

Re: max flight distance w/ 1 kg payload
Great to connect with you. R10 is not a very big quadrotor, so 1kg payload is slightly high, it means that you don't have much extra space for additional batteries, and the flight time would be…"

"It use a xbee or a 3dr module. But it plugs into a module that made for IPad or Iphone and powers up for telemerty and send mavlink messages back and forth. Apple and Google wanted FCC tested before I can put the handheld devices in production.…"
Max Bruner commented on Max Bruner's blog post When two kickstarters meet..."Thanks for the heads up, Zachary, can I ask what module you used for your iPad?"
"The module I built for Ipad is under FCC ruling it cost over 10k just for testing. FCC bunch of thieves. Even when your using all ready approved modules.My 2cents"
Max Bruner commented on Max Bruner's blog post When two kickstarters meet..."Hi Gary, got an update for you relating to FCC. Digi have some interesting information for use of the XBee that I think will be useful for everyone here using their products: http://www.digi.com/technology/rf-tips/2007/11
We will follow…"
Max Bruner commented on Max Bruner's blog post When two kickstarters meet..."Thanks for the comment, Gary, we are contacting the FCC and relevant licensing authorities. The situation is made complex (but resolution simpler?) since the XBee itself is FCC (et al.) approved, and there's also the issue of the R10 sold…"

"How will you get approval from the FCC and in the UK OFCOM ?? You should also note that current regulations in Europe only permit one command and control link one airframe. That might change in the future."
Max Bruner commented on Max Bruner's blog post When two kickstarters meet..."It's an interesting question. The XBee ZB Pro 2.4GHz has a quoted range of 2 miles (10k feet, 3.2km), but in the EU and other countries that impose a lower transmit power limit, your range is less than this.
Latency of the XBee link…"
Simon commented on Max Bruner's blog post When two kickstarters meet..."Has any one infos on the latency of the xbee as r/c controller solution? Does it come even close to a traditional r/c transmitter/receiver solution?
I do find teh idea interesting, since an xbee can do much more. From my limited understanding this…"
