I have no idea--I've never heard of that. Can you send a link?

Any comments on how an IR-MCU might perform in a forest-fire UAV application?

Dincer,

That does look very similar. I wouldn't be surprised if you could make it work with ArduPilot Pro. Needless to say, it will work fine with the basic ArduPilot, because that autopilot can use any stabilization system that controls the ailerons and elevator by itself. The basic ArduPilot just controls the rudder (for navitation) and throttle (for altitude control)--it doesn't have any connection to the third-party stabilization system at all.

bGatti,

I don't know, but I can imagine that it could be an issue.

Chris,
great news... i will try it with your ardupilot but i donot have your board. i hope i can make it here in my country with the provided eagle files.. by the time being can i test the system with a standard arduino? if i can i will make some tests with my plane with 2 of the controls given to co-pilot ( this co-pilot has also a ch5 connection for remote on-off switching) and post my experience. you can also make use of it because this co-pilot is cheaper

by the way, i will also have trouble with arduino code, can you give me the latest code of the ardu-pilot? i have downloaded one previously...

We have not released any ArduPilot code yet (we're still testing it on the hardware). We're also not shipping boards yet. I would recommend that you order the boards and parts from the links in this post (go for the through-hole version; the SMD version is too hard for most people to solder). By the time you get those parts, we will have released the code.

thank you Chris,
you are right about the smd boards, they are very troubling to solder for amateurs like us.
i have already ordered boardino kit from adafruit and gathered other components. however i am having trouble finding the attiny chip you have listed, in my country. maybe i can find an equivalent... :(

Because of the high cost of the thermopile's, has anyone looked in to where we could get them from. By the looks of them, they might be used in automobile's for the heating and cooling.
Just thought maybe a cheaper way of getting them would be extracting them from temp control units in vehicles.
