Paul Dowling commented on Thomas J Coyle III's group ArduRover User Group"The Spektrum BR6000 is discontinued, bummer sounded like a good idea.
What other reciever has firmware specific for bots?
Maybe they would bring it back just for us;-)"
Paul Dowling posted a discussionArdurover project with mecanum wheels eeasy peasy or what?
Hi everyone.Hope this gains some interest because to me it seems like a natural.The mecanum wheels allow both front, back and lateral movement much like the multicoptef on the ground (as in the video below)This functionality seems a much more natural fit for the current codeset.Rebuilding the code to work with the ardurover seems so painfully difficult wheras only a few minor mods should allow tha ardumecanum to ferforn quite well. Have a look at the video and please offer any feeback on the…See More

Paul Dowling replied to Paul Dowling's discussion GPS antenna broke off daughterboard board in crash, need help"I have come to the conclusion that the GPS has been damaged. I have another mediatek 3329 gps from quadroufo on a different breakout board. I am thinking of removing it and replacing the gps on the apm2 daughterboard or possibly using the aux gps…"

There's also a free Eagle pack. You can use it without any problems to read the files.
Best regards

Nick Arsov replied to Paul Dowling's discussion GPS antenna broke off daughterboard board in crash, need help"Hi Paul,
The 3 backside solders are GND and are not responsible for the troubles, but you need to check again carefully with a magnifying glass the front solders.

Ryan Fraser said… - Hey, thats great! Jani Hirvinen replied to me regarding this. It seems they are not quite there yet. In a nut shell they have more demand than supply. Was thinking of setting up kits my self as the hardware is open source and Ontario has manny PCB facilities.
As an aside I was thinking of starting a group for Toronto UAV flyers.
Cheers

estebanflyer said… Hey Paul, I was wondering if you were in Toronto these days, I'm trying really hard to make my quad fly with no success, everything works perfectly: GPS lock, xbee, radio modes, battery cells measurement, ESC calibration, compass, sonar.... I'm stuck at PID's, the copter takes off in a very sluggish way, no matter how I tweak the PID's I always end in a crash, so I thought I might as well pay someone for their time and save money on propellers. (Also save time in balancing them)
Please let me know if you are available. I am at Dufferin and Bloor, but if you want I can take all my gear to you. My phone number is 905 616 8482 (not long distance; Mississauga). As I said, I'm willing to pay for your time. All I want is to have the quad flying.
Please help me out!
