@Joshua,

I subscribe to Robot Magazine and there was an article on the development of Flight Controller Boards on page 52 of issue #38 January/February 2013.

Regards,

You may also find an article on the 2012 Sparkfun AVC.  It's written by some guy that occasionally posts here with a strange yellow school bus avatar... :D

The same review appeared in the sister publication Heli Pilot, they don't seem to put much content online unfortunately.

The review was written by -- Lucien Miller, owner of http://www.innov8tivedesigns.com/ 

It's interesting to see the price versus functionality of all the different FCs laid out in a table. It's quite a stark difference.

Bot, Is your article in issue 39 of Robot, am I understanding that right?

I've got to check it out, that's sweet.

@Joshua Ott -- I'm super excited! Mine's the article on Data Bus, "Design Tips for Sparkfun's Autonomous Vehicle Competition"  Wrote about building it, some of the issues/solutions, and story of my adventures in 2011 and 2012.

Boom-

Awesome man!

Did you post a blog entry about this? 

Comment by Bot Thoughts on January 31, 2013 at 7:55pm

Thanks!!! I did announce the article on my blog a few days ago. :)

Your blog here on DIY, or another one? I see where you posted the write up awhile back, but nothing about it being published in the mag. You may not want to brag on your self, but I think it's worth sharing here. Great article, btw.

My Bot Thoughts blog (http://www.bot-thoughts.com/)  You're right, it's probably something worth sharing, I'll post up on my diydrones blog. Thanks for the kind words :)
