I have been reading on the AeroQuad and ArduPilot forums and glad to see the two had teamed up. =) I wish I had been one of the lucky guys to test the ArduCopter beta.
I have some experience flying rc heli's, 4ch and 6ch and have a programming background in Java, JavaScript, etc; learned C/C++ in university but forgot most of them though. What I really wanna learn is the hardware side, that is the renowned Arduio Mega, the Shield. But I have no hardware knowledge at all. I wish I could understand what the C code you development team has written and hopefully could help write some in the future for the ArduCopter project. But I don't know where to start. How do I get started in learning hardware/circuit board? I was gonna buy one of Thomas L.Floyd books -- Digital Fundamentals. Would that help? Any suggestions would be appreciated and happy flying!

BTW, the ArduCopter software is in internal development and is only meant for the dev team and special testers yet (it will crash your quad if you don't know what you're doing). Once it's released in Alpha (with in the month), we'll increase the beta tester community. That's probably the best time to get involved.
