Hiking Sweeney Ridge on Thanksgiving morning was a perfect time for testing out my newly completed quadcopter.This spot in the mountains, 1200 feet over SFO and the Pacific ocean, seemed like a perfect place to test out my newly completed quadcopter and my newly acquired piloting skills. I've been spending hours and hours flying collective pitch helis in a simulator using a PPM-to-USB joystick adapter I built –…See More
Tim O'Brien commented on Stephen Rayleigh's blog post AUVSI Competition using ArduPilot"Are you streaming the gopro's video back via an analog radio and doing computation on the ground station from that feed? What kind of hardware do you have on board (other than the autopilot)?"
Tim O'Brien commented on Stephen Rayleigh's blog post AUVSI Competition using ArduPilot"I'd love to see your competition paper! I was loosely part of the NC State ARC (just graduated) and I have a bunch of friends heading to MD for the comp. Good luck! Kick some piccolo ass please."

Mini ARM7 quad
"Love the evolution of robots, and the blue box. This looks palm-size--how small is it?"

I'd also like to suggest taking a look at these:…"
Tim O'Brien commented on Tim O'Brien's blog post ARM7 mini quad with xbee remote"Christopher: I get around 15 minutes on my 800mah battery, hovering just above half throttle. I should time it exactly, or add an automatic flight timer in software. I could even integrate the throttle and estimate power consumption.…"

great project!! :D"

Mini ARM7 quad v1.1
"thanks. haven't noticed it in hobbyking. now baught sizes 3-6 to test with my 10g 2000kv motors. what test did you do to determine where to put those tapes?"
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Enthusiast for all things flying, and the best flying things are the ones you make yourself. I started building my first quadcopter in 2009 because it was just as expensive as a coaxial heli, I got to build it myself, and it was computer controlled. As a budding computer engineer I couldn't have found a better platform and project.

Using an Phillips NXP LPC20148 ARM7 processor, a Nintendo Wii motion+, and some xbees I've made a really stable platform for quads. (mode details here) It is running FreeRTOS which makes it very expandable in the future. My old frame flew great with it, but I wanted something smaller.…

Here's the demo of my gamecube remote controlling my quad. Newly implemented is the ability to adjust the PID.P value on the field using just the remote.
This method can be implemented with the analog remotes most people use. I've got another remote that uses only analog sticks to drive a menu system. Something similar could be done for the main AeroQuad project if anyone is interested.
The idea was that I wanted a durable,…

Is there a place that you have posted the hardware requirements for using a game controller with the Ardupilot mega ,i`m assuming that’s what you are using in your quadcopter , is there anything else beside the 2 whey XBee ?
