Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I have a beaglebone black and started initially wanting to build my own arduino powered scratchbuilt edf jet. I then realized that ardupilot was being ported to the beaglebone black. I have compiled a realtime kernel on archlinux and have arduplane running and detecting my sensors. I just need my pixhawk firecape or direction on where to go from there.

"@Matic Jovanovic can you explain what the resistors that are necessary on your board do? Or am I fine without them. I understand resistors for the rc input but it looks like some others may be on board"

"I will have to check it out when I get a chance later on tonight or tomorrow. I have a ready to fly quads power module that fits perfectly on my vdq210. I'll hack the cable apart to get it going."

"I've got another question. I received your pcbs after ordering from oshpark. I'm getting a brown out powering the way I was with my receiver. How did you connect the power wires from the apm power module to the board you made?"

"Is ardupilot able to use brushed motors? Has this been used to make a brushed quadcopter as well? I see them using the motor drivers for mip etc but did not see an example of a brushed quadctoper made with this."

"@Mattic Jovanovic are you able to post pictures of both the front and the back of the pcb you had made. I have an idea of what i need to do. I also wanted to see what parts you populated on the board minus the mpu9250 and ms5611."

"from what i have seen a double sided pcb should be able to be produced from home as well. "

"what about the actual file to the pcb if I wanted to modify? Is this a double sided pcb or is it something that could be produced at  home as well?"

"@Matic Jovanovic do you have more of the boards and if so could I purchase one off you? OSH park would take too long and leave me with how many extra unecessary boards."
