"I think its a good idea. Ever since I had a solder on the battery cable fail on me (my soldering) in the air and I lost all power and control, I have been wondering about a way to make it more redundant.

Is it possible to use the APM2 with a different arduino application. I want to test the sensors for a medical application?

Hi,Is it possible to remove the ardupilot code from the APM2 and put on a simple arduino program - I am presuming that it should be possible, but when i try at the moment it gives me this error…Continue

Stephen Kelly replied to Stewart Lilley's discussion ArduRocket"Stew,
I am curious why you choose to use canards rather than the tail fins for the control surfaces, I recall reading somewhere so I may be remembering it wrong, that another group doing a similar thing found that canards caused a larger change in…"
Stephen Kelly replied to Leluoch kart's discussion APM high speed >=1mach ?"Rocket fins are totally different to plane wings. Hence rockets can go mach 1+, and a totally different propulsion concept, and they only achieve that speed for a few seconds.
You are talking about a rocket glider, I have been reading a fair…"
Stephen Kelly replied to Leluoch kart's discussion APM high speed >=1mach ?"no - none of it is realistic. you can go fast or go far, but not both, as you will use too much power.
What are you actually trying to achieve ? cover a large area ? use many cheap drones.
do a bit of reading around in the forums here…"
Stephen Kelly replied to Leluoch kart's discussion APM high speed >=1mach ?"I think it was an 'academic question' - as far as a I could find in a quick search - the max speed of remote control plane (jets) is about 350 miles/h (http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50473) - less then halfway to mach…"
Stephen Kelly replied to Blake's discussion Newbie question about kit vs RTF"Another thing that was very helpful to me when i was learning was to practice in a simulator, as I had no remote control experience when I started, I used http://rcdeskpilot.com/ but they don't do multi rotor compters, but I am sure…"
Stephen Kelly replied to Leluoch kart's discussion APM high speed >=1mach ?"Its to do with ITAR International Traffic In Arms Regulations, a GPS for commercial use - is not allowed to work over 60,000 feet or at speed over 1000 knots (515 m/s) which is Mach 1.514
That is what a GPS is potentially…"
Stephen Kelly replied to JB's discussion Anyone here from Brisbane? in the group Australia"Hi Jean,
I am from Brisbane, I am working on a fixed wing drone, I am interested in long stable flights - and using it as a base for cameras (air photos) - and eventually looking at using this to monitor water pipes.
I am also interested…"
Stephen Kelly replied to Blake's discussion Newbie question about kit vs RTF"Blake, maybe do both :)
I bought a kit, built it but was having trouble learning to fly the plane, so I bought a small, slow RTF plane to teach myself to fly on. So maybe by the kit for the 'Drone', and get a 'toy' quad RTF if…"
Stephen Kelly commented on Chris Anderson's blog post 3D Robotics announces VC funding, expansion plans!"Shouldn't "the community" decides who 'runs' the site - rather than having it dictated to us.

Stephen Kelly commented on Chris Anderson's blog post 3D Robotics announces VC funding, expansion plans!"@toby, I think the DIYDrones site should also list and discuss all amateur UAV projects (and potentially have an independant shop as well), the 'aim' of this site is

Stephen Kelly commented on Chris Anderson's blog post 3D Robotics announces VC funding, expansion plans!"Chris,
I would like to see a more detailed answer to the questions raised here by Brent. I am a relatively new user here, and as a new user was under the [wrong] impression that 3DR was a not for profit company, run by this community since that was…"

http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/arduino-debugging-tips
I had the 1280 board set instead of the 2560 board selected (point 2 on the above page).
It is pretty easy to remove the autopilot software from the APM2 hardware and…"

Hi,Is it possible to remove the ardupilot code from the APM2 and put on a simple arduino program - I am presuming that it should be possible, but when i try at the moment it gives me this error ...avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00which from what i read on the arduino website says that the arduino is not talking to the bootloader properly. What I ultimately want to do is gather the raw accelerometer data and gyroscope data and see how the accelerometer in the APM (16 bit) varies…See More
