Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am mostly interested in rotary wing UAVs, particularly as a microprocessor platform, but as a potential photography tool as well.

"The thrust stated in the specs is usually "static" thrust. Meaning, under perfect conditions, with 100% efficiency, you will be able to *prevent* the equivalen load *from falling*, not do anything useful with it. Which is why a hefty margin on top…"
"It's a Bosch BMP085, if memory serves..."
"Sorry for the late replies, been over my head in work lately and completely out of the DIYdrones loop.
Honestly, don't have a clue, haven't even seen the new code (2.x) nor the Mission Planner.But i intend to, as soon as i manage to find some free…"

"It's the stock jdrones/diydrones arducopter frame. Check store.diydrones.com and www.jdrones.com."
"Oops. Sorry about the repost. Figured it might have been posted before, looked around a bit (not good enough, apparently), saw the youtube vid was relatively recent and thought i'd post it anyways."
Maybe we should start strapping chickens onto quadcopters... Hmmmm.
"They aren't necessarily horizontal. You can orient them whichever way you like.If no one else replies, i'll write something up when i get back home later today (don't have the Arduino IDE and the sources here). But the basic idea is, you hook them…"
"Nice catch :)
It's not a bad soldered, it's just that the solder hasn't flown all the way through to the top-side of the board (the pins are soldered from the other side and there's plenty of solder there). And the reason it hasn't is that it's a…"

"Nope. Absolutely no free time for the past few weeks (thesis deadline approaching).
Didn't even have time to check ACM2 out."

"Ah! Thanks :)
Awesome work with the multipilot and the IMU, by the way!"

"I'm confused...Invensense's (not InveRsense's) gyro designations do not start with ADXL.That would be Analog Devices. And Analog Devices' ADXL models are accelerometers, not gyros. "
"Oh, i'm not saying it isn't working great, just that it might not be optimised for 'copters. If it is still based on mr. Premerlani's work, and if i've understood it correctly:
1) it assumes forward flight
2) it does not discern between…"

"Congrats!
Question, tho.Will the DCM algorithm used in AC 2.0 still be the one geared towards planes (like it has been so far) or has it been revamped with 'copters in mind? "

"@ Russel - whoah, that's nasty! :("
"Nice! I use those on my hard drives."
