Sharing APM GPS with DOSD?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Kevin Vertucio Sep 12, 2011. 7 Replies 0 Likes
Is anyone doing this? I use DOSD for my on-screen display and I want to share the GPS strings between the two devices. I know with DOSD I can use pass-through mode and it will send the NMEA strings…Continue

Kevin Vertucio commented on Shifty Powers's blog post Man, juz70 has got some skills with his OP Revolution!Kevin Vertucio commented on Chris Anderson's blog post "$40,000-$60,000"?"A lot of these commercial systems are priced at this level. I attended AUVSI this past August and a lot of these companies are selling similar products at similar price points. What local Law Enforcement agencies have the $40k-$60k for that? "
Kevin Vertucio commented on Ita G's blog post OpenPilot Revolution finally available!"$99 for the Revolution board! No brainer, considering the flight behavior of the CC and CC3D.
Sure there are supply issues for the masses. Quality hardware and software is going to be in high demand. The model of OP is not commercial to make money.…"
Kevin Vertucio commented on Kevin Vertucio's blog post No Title"I get ~9-10min safely. The Tigers have a prop adapter that is 5mm. Just need to get a 8-5mm adapter.
You should be ok with 3S. Might be a little on the heavy side, depending on your payload."
LanMark commented on Kevin Vertucio's blog post No Title"@Kevin, nice.. what is your flight time?.. sounds exactly what I am building.. but on a TBS Discovery frame.. I have the 2216 motors in the mail, going to flash my Blue Series with SimonK and at some point get the Graupner.. how do you…"
Kevin Vertucio commented on Kevin Vertucio's blog post No Title"@Mark, my quad is about 1.6kg AUW. I run Tiger MT 2216-900kv + Graupner 10x5 on SimonK 30A ESC powered by 4S 3300mah Turnigy Nanotech. I use EzUHF for RC Control. "
LanMark commented on Kevin Vertucio's blog post No Title"what are your specs? running DragonLink or some other UHF transmitter/receiver? prop size? motor size? battery? Looks pretty awesome.. if only the OpenPilot boards were easier to get a hold of... seems like a nice…"

Speed, tree slalom, powerlines, cars, fun.
Kevin Vertucio replied to Barry Nash's discussion Uncontrollable Quad Rotation, loss of control and crash,"You didn't have any YAW authority it looked like. That was very scary. Wow. Did you try flying in a stabilized or acro mode to see how if you have that same problem?"
Kevin Vertucio replied to Alex's discussion How much interference is normal with FPV video?"Can you share some photos of your setup? Using the standard whip antennas with 5.8GHz is not going to give good results. 5.8GHz is very sensitive to obstructions and objects infracting on the fresnel zone. Any parts of your frame or lipo…"
Kevin Vertucio commented on Jason Dorie's blog post Outdoor test video of my latest quad"Jason, looking good. I completely agree with you guys about simplicity. I have been running copter control for a few months with just gyros and no auto-leveling. Having a well tuned machine in rate mode is pretty much all you really need. "

Compilation of some on-board footage from the my OpenPilot CC Tricopter. This thing is super stable. I have complete confidence when flying with OpenPilot. Can't believe how simple the setup was. I am using 3-bladed props this time. They are much quieter, but produce less thrust. I had to adjust my trottle curve a bit to get better…

Finally got my Y6 together. I am running rctimer 2830/14 750kv motors, 30A esc, 10x4.7 props on 4s 5000maH lipos. Will get higher pitch props for the lower motors soon. Here's a video of some portions of the maiden. Still on default PID. I see it needs some fine tuning, but it's flyable on default settings.
