"@Chris Thanks for the quick response. I'll buy a built up board, sounds like it will be quicker at this point anyway. I have all the tools, so I'm ready. Will the thermopile boards be available as well, or is the fma version the way to go for now?"
"Thanks for sharing the schematics Chris. I know you probably get asked a lot, but do you know how long it will take to get your boards back? I can get a few for myself through BatchPCB, but that can take a while, and if yo are going to have yours…"
"Chris I think it is a good idea to keep it arduino compatible. It pretty much makes the development environment available with no additional work on our part. When Arduino gets an upgrade, so will the ArduPiot, or ArduPilotPro.
"Does anyone know of a global hawk model that is available? Seems like if would have more space than the predator on it, and I would to have a ducted fan uav."
"I know this is intended for planes, but this platform actually seems perfect for ground based vehicles as well. It could be simply built without the CPD4, and coded differently."
"Chris I've worked with many revision control systems. I highly recommend svn. It works on all platforms, and does indeed work from the command line for people like me. However there are many free and easy to use gui clients for it as well.
"Wow I just found this site and man, I'm building an ardupilot!!!!
I already have 8 helicopters, a few planes, a CPD-4, an FTDI cable, and like 8 arduinos.....
I'll be watching closely, do you think this could fly a t-rex 450? I'm hesitant to hook…"
