"Turnigy also makes a servo reverser and if I remember correctly, it will slow down the servo as well so if you use 3 Y cables, one would split front and back servos, another splits the two fronts, and the other goes to the reverser. The reverser…"

I bought this about 6 weeks ago and just got it in the other day. I am too busy with other projects to use this right now and thought I would sell it to anyone who wants one now.$210 shipped in the…Continue
900MHz 2dBi Antennas

Is there anything special about the antennas that are out of stock or can you can pick up any 900MHz RP-SMA antenna and use them with these? I'm considering ordering the parts without the antennas…Continue

Is there a time frame for when you think the XBee footprint version will be out? I finally got around to ordering an APM2 and got an "Air" module of the new radio but now am wondering if I should…Continue

healthyfatboy commented on Kevin Hester's group Andropilot Users Group"Kevin, do you still want me to give the Look at Me feature a try?"
healthyfatboy replied to Kevin Hester's discussion New release 1.0.05 should (hopefully) fix problems with android 4.1.1/4.1.2 in the group Andropilot Users Group"Kevin,
Do you still want me to give this a try? I still need to build Andropilot like the README.md file says but I should be good to go after that."
healthyfatboy replied to Greg Betz's discussion ISU Winebot in the group ArduRover User Group"I was a bit worried as most Traxxas ESC's now put out 6V on the BEC but that one puts out 5V at 1.5A, which is low compared to what's normally used now.
TCIII has good advice. Give what he said a try and you should see a difference. A…"
healthyfatboy replied to Greg Betz's discussion ISU Winebot in the group ArduRover User Group"I was just about to respond about the reverse steering as well as I had similar issues. Give that a try and it will likely make a big difference."
healthyfatboy commented on Adam AKAV8R's blog post X-8 Maiden Flight - Prop Strike - Crash (SafetyTip)"I'm impressed you flew so close to water on a maiden!"
healthyfatboy commented on Thomas J Coyle III's group ArduRover User Group"Since he's using a uBlox, he can only go down so far. Since your GPS seems to be able to get 20cm accuracy, you're really the only one that can test whether a 0.1 m would work well as it will be difficult for any of us to test that out."
healthyfatboy commented on Jerry Hatrick's blog post Bixler 2 APM alternate mounting."Be careful with your magnets so close to the APM. In the other blog posting, one guy mentioned getting interference from some magnets he had on his rover and they were 10 cm away so you'll likely get bad compass readings if they are very close."
healthyfatboy commented on tristan price's blog post Freezing fog grounds my hexa in less than a minute"If you can figure out how to keep them from icing up in freezing fog conditions, you would be a very rich man as the aviation world it trying to figure it out as well. Post if you do figure it out!"
healthyfatboy replied to Andrew Tridgell's discussion ArduPlane 2.71 released"Yeah, if that's not set properly, you'll definitely not get the six like you should. The calibration setup will show the output you get from the channel you have programmed properly but since the APM is looking for the mode change on…"
healthyfatboy replied to Andrew Tridgell's discussion ArduPlane 2.71 released"How to set up six modes using most any transmitter is in the manual.
https://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Sixmodes
Use the one for the 9C. It should be nearly identical for the 10C that you have. It works just fine on my 9CAP Super. I…"
healthyfatboy commented on Thomas J Coyle III's group ArduRover User Group"Good to know. At least that helps me know there is something wrong, specifically with what I have. I'll keep troubleshooting it at some point if I feel like it. I just use a UBEC right now so that is good enough for now."
healthyfatboy commented on Thomas J Coyle III's group ArduRover User Group"Are you running the stock ESC? I want to say I read somewhere else you were using a Castle but I can't remember. That could explain the difference, not that it should make a difference but it's possible."
healthyfatboy commented on Thomas J Coyle III's group ArduRover User Group"Oh, and I ran the rover again last night. This time, I ran a quarter mile loop near my house and it did great! Keeping up with it at 4 m/s was the hardest part."
healthyfatboy commented on Thomas J Coyle III's group ArduRover User Group"Tom,
From what I have read, I understand you are using the power module on your APM correct? If so, have you had any problems with it? Just for fun, I tried it out again last night and it didn't work. Thinking it could be a bad module, I tried…"

Inexpensive Thermal Camera

I don't know how useful this would be but I thought it would be something that could be attached to a quadrotor to do some thermal analysis for a home to determine how to increase the efficiency of the heating and cooling systems by reducing the losses around windows and doors.
