  Hi Jiro,

  I like the two (four) USB-Ports of the BeagleBone Enhanced that make it possible to stream live HD Video via WiFi and running ArduPilot. Unfortunately there is no information about the kind of 9-Axis Gyro+Accel+Magn.

  Regards

  SanCloud BeagleBone is start campaign in Idiegogo.

  BeagleBone Enhanced pre-loaded with the latest debian image plus one USB WiFi + Bluetooth card. Base board with 1Gb RAM, 4GB eMMC, Gigabit Ethernet, NOR boot, USB Hub, 9-Axis Gyro+Accel+Magn, Barometer and Altimeter. Wifi + Bluetooth card IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz 1T1R WiFi with Bluetooth v2.1+EDR/Bluetooth 3.0/3.0+HS/4.0.

  This board may fly without add on board.

  Hi Thomas,

  for the value of R4 and R5 please check this page Hardware, it depends on your RC RX.

  There is an issue with the HC-SR04 voltage divider (R2 = 1k and R3 = 2k), R2 and R3 are only necessary if you are using the HC-SR04. To fix the issue with R2 you have to put a additional 1k resistor inside the Echo line from the HC-SR04. This will be fixed with Rev 1.5 BBBMINI boards.

  Had a nasty crash yesterday.  Thanks Mirko for your help reviewing the dataflash log and fixing the problem! The copter flies perfectly now.

  A big tip to BBBMINI users... Don't forget Step 28 on Mirko's software instructions:

  Adjusting the BBB clock sudo sed -i 's/GOVERNOR="ondemand"/GOVERNOR="performance"/g' /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils

  I had neglected to make this change and encountered timing glitches throughout the flight, including a 2 second interruption in the ArduCopter process which triggered the crash.

  Anyway, I rebuilt last night and had an awesome flight today.  (One big advantage of a 3D printed frame, I don't have to wait for the mailman.)  No timing glitches in the log file for the entire 19 minute flight, and flight was perfect in every other respect.

  Here's a picture of the rebuild.  I ran out of black filament, so the quad is now sporting some new blue parts.

  And yes, that is an FM antenna.  Someday I'll make it to the 21st century and buy a 2.4 GHz transmitter...

  New bbbmini takes flight!  The frame is 3D printed.  Thanks Mirko for a great PCB design and doing the legwork of getting the APM code running on the BBB.  This has been a fun project.

  @Chris

  you have to set the parameter RNGFND_TYPE to 6. In the RFIND_test code there is the sensor type hard coded, so maybe you have to modify the code. Try to read the HC-SR04 direct with APM Planner 2.0 (Initial Setup->Optional Setup->Range Finder Range (m)).
