"Writing the software in Java would make the software available to almost every single modern hardware device, regardless of OS. Hell, my Bluray player can run java.
Java is also semantically similar to C#, so migrating code to a more open…"

I'm trying to get HIL working in X Plane 10 (or 9 if it's not possible in 10). From all the instructions I've found, I need to download a special version of arduino (22 with a relaxpatch). I've done…Continue

Miles Smith replied to Andke's discussion Mission planner multiplatform support.. is a goal or not ?Miles Smith replied to Andke's discussion Mission planner multiplatform support.. is a goal or not ?""So you want to run MP on your router"
Perhaps not, but if MP was written in a platform agnostic language (Java comes to mind), he COULD if he wanted to.
Using FOSS is about choices. WIth Windows, you are severely limited. If MP ran…"
Miles Smith replied to Justin Friedman's discussion Need help with batteries"It shows that the input voltage is between 9 and 12.6v, which would make that a 3s lipo."
Miles Smith commented on Tim Green's blog post And it crashes - need hover in place mode to be functional before or along with stabilize mode"I use these on my Hexa-B:

They are lifesavers."

Not using "Kinect" , but there other sensors, and OpenNI framework, check out the links below for more…"
Luke Olson replied to Miles Smith's discussion Microsoft Kinect for Object Avoidance"The Kinect can be used for this kind of thing and it has been already. Though it requires resources far grater than what the APM can handle. If you wanted to do this with the APM it would still require another computer to process data from the…"

Miles Smith replied to Corey's discussion I am sorry."Just to comment on the GoPro aspect.
I've used a GoPro on many of my projects, and I chose it specifically because of it's high-quality image AND it's small form factor. It's extremely light, and is designed exactly for…"
Stephen R Mann replied to Miles Smith's discussion Noob Prop Type Question"I learned the hard way - don't use cheap props. There's an awful lot of torque in the materials, as well as some flexing. I lost a prop in flight a few days ago. If it were on a quad, I would hope to at least salvage the…"
CyberCrash replied to Miles Smith's discussion Noob Prop Type Question"What kind of motors do you use? kv?
15" is quite large. Keep in mind your copter will get very big. If your motors aren't powerful enough you will have trouble keep your copter stable.
But why use 10x3.8" ? They are so…"
Anderl replied to Miles Smith's discussion Noob Prop Type Question"Hello Miles,
Make tests at this website. You can see the differences (theoretical) when using a propeller or other, you'll see the differences in consumption, thrust, etc. It is very…"
3D RoboticsJoshua Ott replied to Miles Smith's discussion Noob Prop Type Question
"The pitch number is the number of inches the prop will move forward with each revolution. It's equivalent to the gears in a car transmission. High pitch prop is like fifth gear, good for high speed, but hard to accelerate from a stoplight. Low…"
Luke Olson replied to Miles Smith's discussion Noob Prop Type Question"Make sure the motors can accommodate the mount and the size, those are pretty big props. Good luck with the new copter!"
Miles Smith replied to Miles Smith's discussion Noob Prop Type Question"It helped a TON! Thanks! The pitch seems to make so much sense now that you've explained it."
Miles Smith replied to Miles Smith's discussion Noob Prop Type Question"These are going on a CarbonCore Octo with a Sony DSLR under it. I am planning on using the 15" blades after your input. Thank you!"
Luke Olson replied to Miles Smith's discussion Noob Prop Type Question"The larger props in the first link are for motors with the dual screw type mount to match. The dual screw type prop mount can be more reliable and can handle more power than the traditional single screw prop mount like the props in the second link.…"
