"sorry of this is a dumb question but I am after a bit of clarification. You said that v1 light works with the apm v1 1280. did you also test v1 light with the magometer? And did you also test it with the camera? Thanks in advance."

"If you look at the developers website of drone cell, he has sketches for tcp/ip and all the like... I would start there... also arduino has some good code snippets on their website... "

Richard replied to Avalerion's discussion Dronecell Integration Needed ASAP - $1000 prize
"I agree with Paul and Blake... As it stands, the only real benefit for this dronecell is the fact that you can indeed connect it to UDP or TCP/IP and the like... The only other benefit is that you can use dronecell with a network via towers on a GMS…"

"Right off hand, With a delta wing type, and with all the images I can scan through, It seems that mostly they way to achieve this is to have it look and act like a regular fixed delta wing craft and have it positioned so that it is either at a…"

Richard replied to Tomas Soedergren's discussion Parasitic current in AttoPilot voltage/current sensor signal cable. Problem?? in the group ArduCopter User Group
"Gustav, You would be correct in the assumption as to the meaning of "inline" to be "in series"... Capacitors are used in filters, and to smooth the signal from noise... Also capacitors block DC signals in which I was thinking it…"

Richard replied to Tomas Soedergren's discussion Parasitic current in AttoPilot voltage/current sensor signal cable. Problem?? in the group ArduCopter User Group
"I agree with the both of them Tomas, However, I still think you need a capacitor inline with the output or ground of the sensor... Also now that I know there is an op amp involve, one should consider if it has enough reference voltage to push this…"

Richard replied to Tomas Soedergren's discussion Parasitic current in AttoPilot voltage/current sensor signal cable. Problem?? in the group ArduCopter User Group
"I personally wound Have to see a schematic of the layout. but you could make a filter by adding a capacitor in line of the out put. (black wire) there are a few other possible solutions however i would need to see your setup."
