"Allow me to give you something I made. It's a simple UDP setup that receives values from the planner, but you could easily turn it around to send values. Be careful though, I have noticed some float-precision problems within the python…"

Alexis Dray replied to Ray K's discussion APM Planner Scripting with Processing?"sorry, that was a bit vague. What i mean is, I would like to create a
virtual' interface system which where input is 'independent' i.e. some generic device is sending commands via UDP as Michael explained, where python…"

Has anyone made progress here? "
Ray K commented on Xavier Simard-Lecours's blog post hybrid quad design"Xavier,
Not quite yet. Hobbyking just shipped the order for my first quadcopter build so I'll wait to gain some real life experience with these before deciding if there's any merit to having squadrons of quadcopters dropping…"
Ray K commented on Xavier Simard-Lecours's blog post hybrid quad design"Nice use of Inventor.
I've had a similar idea but also different: mine involves a quad with the "endcaps", as I call them (the end of each arm of a typical quad which holds the motor/ prop combo) to be on a swivel, that…"
Graham replied to Ray K's discussion ESC Comparison in the group ArduCopter User Group"I definitely agree, go with 30 Amp, it is most likely because of availability of parts.
On another note I have found these

and they are Really cheap ordered…"
Ray K replied to Glenn Anderson's discussion Pool Noodles?"Right. What if you made the frame (leading it to being on the inside) and then put the noodles over it like bumpers? Would that also compromise strength?"
Ray K replied to zachary sylvester's discussion can you put 2 cams on one adrupilot mega."Just to make sure that we're both on the same page... Keep in mind that the APM isn't processing the video at all. It's just able to drive servos/ ESCs.
It will definitely drive a 2 servo gimbal with a camera on it, and…"
Ray K replied to Yaniv Eliash's discussion Communication"A different approach to all this is your underwater vehicle, tethered to a surface vehicle (boat) which follows it via the likes of gps and synchronous movements, and uses whatever above-water radios you please. "
Ray K replied to Glenn Anderson's discussion Pool Noodles?"Looks nice, especially with the lighting. I was going to suggest what it seems like you'll be doing in v4. Get the wiring and all the structural rods going on the inside holes of this.
I'd like for his to make it…"
Ray K commented on Chris Anderson's blog post A short film about drones and bikinis"Just saying, this is what we have quadcopters for. No need for a swarm of predators, that's counter intuitive. "

"I've been told it could be 3ds Max, another Autodesk product that I should really learn anyways.
Pretty safe to say that it would be extremely difficult to combine a 3d flight simulator, physics engine, and animation, but that is…"

"Awesome. Anyone know what software was used to make this? I work with Autodesk Inventor, and would like to be able to simulate my designs like what is seen here. "
Ray K replied to Ray K's discussion Motor + Prop Additional Hardware in the group ArduCopter User Group"Hey Will,
[A long time after this conversation ended] I have finally secured the funds and time to get this build started. I plan to order everything within the next few days.
Several questions for you though:
So I will be getting the Talon…"
