Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

------------------------------------------------------------- Been playing around with electronics and computers since early 1980s and always had a big interest for all things R/C. One of my FAV movies as a kid: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088024/ ------------------------------------------------------------- Just ordered parts for my first quad! Flyduino centerplates and aluminium from local shops. ESCs and motors arriving soon. Also ordered a bunch of LiPo's, charger, FS-TH9X, crius AIOP and various other toys. Looking forward of seeing it in the air SOON.

Alex Bustamante commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New algorithm can save a quadcopter after one motor/prop failure
"Cool. About detecting the rpm-change via the ESC, i don't think thats possible, the ESC just outputs PWM on a pin or two, it does not get any feedback there (correct me if im wrong?) The pins ar only set as outputs on the CPU.

Still, the hard thing…"

"was thinking about the detection, if the RPM of one motor goes up, its lost a prop? "

"can anyone explain the different problems one need to resolve in case of prop-(multiple?)failure?"
