"Fortunately the modern units that I've seen have addressed the interference issue with their more sophisticated signal processing approach. Using what amounts to an encryption and/or deliberately unique signature which is then analyzed by the…"
"I'd look at printrbot simple metal.
It's proven, there are a million kickstarter/indiegogo 3d printers, but you don't know how good they are until they hit market, and many are disappointing.
Printrbot is probably the best of the low-cost…"

"So the nanotubes are at a scale so small that there is no structural fiber to speak of.
Nice.
For low current applications and shielding this is very interesting, but for high power brushless motors where you're pulling major amps, the…"

"Hi Keith,
I see you're using CF as your conductive element, have you done nozzle erosion testing?
I'm quite interested in the filament, and look forward to seeing what you have coming up in the future. My only concern is that the CF might result…"

"Was just thinking about other possibilities to solve the problem, and thought about silicone spray. Spray the panels with silicone and see if the snow just slides off. It works for snow shovels. "
Interesting idea, small deliveries adding up where large ones would be shot down. These are Pixhawk-powered fixed-wing UAVs.From the BBC:How do you deliver food and medicine to people in an area where a cargo plane would be shot down? It was a…
"If you're doing a console session, I'd use TCP, not UDP. Chattier, but if it's just a console session not a big deal unless things are totally marginal anyway. And that avoids pain and suffering of dropped/mangled characters in a command line…"
"NICE!
Once I get my craptastic replicator running again I'll have to see if I can get it to do this as well. Possibly the first use of dualstrusion that actually has some use!"

"This sounds like a great project, I might suggest going to an alternate crowdfunding platform like Indiegogo. Most folks don't care which you use, Dragon innovations is another one that might be appropriate.

"Do you have a mailing list for updates? I'd like to keep in the loop for your flying minion. Any idea as to MSRP yet?"
"I've had a makerbot (dear god dont!) and have been surveying the field for various options.
There are a LOT of players right now, many of whom do not know what they're doing, so a real track record is important.
If you're looking for a cheap…"

"Generally the approach I've seen (but not tried myself yet) is to have the gopro feed video to a FPV setup on a different band. 900Mhz or 1.2Ghz or even 5Ghz (although looking out for harmonic interference would be wise in any case, regardless of…"
"Sounds like going back to servo connectors (aka .1" pins) should be considered, despite the bulk.
Or Solder through hole terminals, less convenient but still a comparative gold standard for reliability. "

"This is fascinating, and not just for drones either. I'm currently training for my PPL, so if this gets to the point of being operational and fine-tunable for larger aircraft, particularly finding clear spaces large enough for, say, a Cessna 172…"
"After reading the comments on hackaday, I'm putting a big WHOA on this. Sounds like the company is a bit shortsighted, and it's another shiny object full of disappointment. "
"1) This stuff is not certified-grade aviation, where *everything* is tested ad nauseam, and certified mechanics are maintaining those systems. Apples and oranges.
2) Saying "Nothing is wrong with recent updates" is a blanket statement, which…"
