Any chance of ... on next APM?

Posted by Brett Glossop on September 24, 2010 at 5:26pm

Any chance of a 10cm cable on the mini-usb in next APM build version? With it's position I need to pull out the whole 'velcroed' APM each time I want to load or unload.

Also a better mount or a true commercial connector for the telemetry? Mine fall off each fly, at both ends.

 

Loves:

The speed of APM electronics.

Speed, versatility of software.

Use of OO software principles

Courage and willingness to reorganise software suite mid stream (e.g. config)

Helpful community.

Oh and it flies fabulosly.

 

Cheers guys.

    Possibly no wire, that is a mini usb replacement option in the form of a bluetooth serial add-on module, with flow control (RTS capability), providing close range, wireless sketch uploading and code debug. Basically like official Arduino BT module.

    Hope I have not started an 'I want list' at this early stage of development. The two I listed may be tweaks or add-ons to a production run.
