"I've been waiting for the optical flow sensor for quite some time. I know they said here they don't plan to introduce a low cost version but I hope that the Arducopter version isn't in that category."

Issues connecting through USB/3DR Radio

So I've had my APM 2 sitting in its static-protection bag for about 7 months now, as I have been occupied with life. That being said, I remember when I was first messing with it I didn't have any issues that I could recognize. It was rather straight forward to hook up and I could read all the status's/orientation through either the 3dr radio (hitting control-A after setting the correct Baud rate/port) or even directly connected through USB and with the mission planner software. Now when I…See More

"You have it set to low cut off? That generally means that at low voltages (lets say when you give full thrust, 4 props all draining a battery at once) the ESC's may shut down/ slow down (depending on ESC) to protect your lipo battery. You want…"

Profile Information

About Me:
I'm 22, based in Atlanta, American/German/French, and studying Electrical Engineering. I still have a lot to learn, but hope to constantly gain experience through hands on and studying.
Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I've had interest in it for a while, but ultimately after watching the U of P videos back in 2010. I've been studying hard and after gaining some circuit experience I decided that UAV experience would help with my own studies, as well as be an enjoyable hobby. Hopefully I will gain enough knowledge to better the community.
