Tom Pittenger commented on JP's blog post DroneMapper Signs Multi-Year Contract With The State of Utah - 1/17/13
"How much does the DroneMapper SaaS cost? Is the only thing I supply are pictures that I take myself (via my UAV) or do you offer photography services (via your UAV) as well?"

"@Danny, Nope. I like the Microchip library set. Atmel doesn't like to directly support their chips. I'm not a fan."

Tom Pittenger commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Proof of concept: Flying the UAVDevBoard over the Internet with Android
"There is no UDB protocol for the joystick, I made my own. In fact there is no protocol for ground to plane communications. You can implement this one for now if you'd like, it is a joystick-only type of thing just to get it working which is…"

"@Happy, So I got around to working on this finally. 1.1.30 works great! DNS works and it actually gets the data from the plane and does as it's expected. Great job! Now the IP port is in use so I can't send my joystick data to it! hahah…"

"In my application the GCS must be the server although it would be nice if it could do both, you know, just for fun. It must be the server because cell phone IPs are behind a NAT firewall which is not user configurable. That means all communication…"

"Happy, I'm terribly sorry - I've slacked in this department. I've been out of town and when I got back I had all kinds of silly things I had to do. I haven't even had a chance to make another video :( I see the TCP/UDP option in…"

Tom Pittenger commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post Help wanted for top secret project
"Easy thing to do using a Microchip PIC with their TCP/IP and MDD libraries. Pretty much any PIC can be used. http://www.microchip.com/mal"

Tom Pittenger commented on Paul Mather's blog post HK GCS now supports APM binary and UavDevBoard (Matrix Pilot/Serial UDB Extra)
"@Fab, I posted that video last weekend as I was leaving town for the holidays just to show the UAVdevboard guys what I've been doing but Chris Anderson posted it on his blog which created a lot of attention to the project. I am anxious to get…"

"@Fab - I'm adding TCP and UDP communication to GCS next week (or at least starting next week). It's so I can do this much easier: http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/proof-of-concept-flying-the"

"*cough* Did someone say TCP server in GCS?"

"Rana, I meant to disrespect. You have been more active and contributed much more to all of these projects than I have, for sure. Your testing and comments are greatly appreciated. Keep them coming!"

"It drives me nuts being on "vacation" with the family for xmas. I want to be home writing code!"

Tom Pittenger commented on Paul Mather's blog post HK GCS now supports APM binary and UavDevBoard (Matrix Pilot/Serial UDB Extra)
"I just want to be clear that I have not experienced my plane disappearing below the ground like you did Rana. I noticed the effect of it wanting to, and understood it, and therefore dismissed it while working on GCS because it's "not…"

"@Rana - Can you do us a favor and make sure you have up to date versions of both Matrix Pilot and GCS"

Tom Pittenger commented on Paul Mather's blog post HK GCS now supports APM binary and UavDevBoard (Matrix Pilot/Serial UDB Extra)
"@Happy - I have used GCS /w UDB plenty of times, it works fine - no altitude problems.   The only problem I get with the model sinking below the ground is when I'm "in the lab" and the GPS altitude is drifting up and down.…"

"@Happy -  How easy it is in the GE API to find out the relative ground altitude at a given Lat/Long? Could the offset be done generically across all UAV platforms that way?"
