"Well I think I've got it connected to a terminal, but I am not getting any responses from it.  So first things first... does it make any detectable heat?  Think I have it powered but it is room temperature."

"Hooray for resolution! :-D"

"Got my first DNT900 connected UART->FTDI->USB so theoretically I have a serial terminal to the radio now.  But without the radio software (which was included with the dev kits but not the radio themselves) I'm afraid I'm not…"

"I would much prefer the extra servo connections. The adapter cable I bought fit perfectly, and was ~$6."

"Awesome, thanks!  According to UPS my DNT900's were just delivered.  Way to go Mouser for FAST shipping and delivery!  Looks like I won't sleep much this weekend."

"I guess not.  Just ordered two of…"

"Andy, before you get heavy into finals, can you send me a parts list to buy?  I am ready to order two DNT900 radios from Mouser but I guess they don't come with antennas and I'm not 100% sure about the antenna connector. "

"How are you connecting the PS3 controller to the arduino?  Can you use a USB joystick?  Because many R/C radios have USB adapters so you can connect them to a PC and use them like a joystick.  If that would work, it would prob be the…"

"The transmitter gimbals are nice but they still use potentiometers.  Optical encoders would be better.  But I see your point, there are many nice features of the R/C controllers on the market.  These are the reasons I would like an…"

"So the PS3 controller outputs 256 steps?  (0-255) It looks like the arduino PWM output is also 8-bit (256 step).  So there won't be a bottle-neck per say, you will just have 8-bit resolution.  (Or is your arduino limited to…"

"I was just thinking about how I could replace a regular R/C radio with a couple arduinos and I found this page.  Very exciting!  I would love to be able to combine the control and telemetry radios so I had one less frequency and radio to…"

"I was doing some market research on large electric power systems and I found this brushless motor:   http://www.icare-rc.com/plettenberg_predator.htm   which can generate 65 lbs of thrust swinging a 30x10 prop.  4 of those would make…"

"Multi-path from the blades is another good theory.  We are using dipole antennas in a vertical orientation so the amount of power being radiated up to the blades should be minimal, but I don't know about the angle between the antenna and…"

"Chris How did you prove that to be the case?"

"the video signal was bouncing off of the carbon fiber blades"

"I always pondered... a carbon tailboom and drive belt running thru it... can you say tesla coil?... :)"
