About Me:

I used to be a computer engineer flying RC plane in the week-end since I was a kid. I have now co-funded a drone company in France, Neo-Robotix (http://neo-robotix.com).


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

We do survey, 3D Reconstruction and other stuff with copter and airplane running APM. Thanks to the DIY Drones community to make it possible.

"Hi Ivan,
Nice to hear that it is useful for you.
This is not related to my code but to the parameter of the gimball. I don't know Ronin but in SimpleBGC there is a mode named "speed" and another "angle" that's what you have to look for in your Ronin…"

"I'm happy to see your enthusiasm about the project !
@Alex : My gimbal is configured to be very smooth so it is normal to see lag. With the quad it seems to have lag but he is not aggressively tuned.
Technically there is no risk of lag because it…"

Benoît Courty commented on Daniel McKinnon's blog post Would you like to capture professional quality photos with Solo? Do you like Rube-Goldberg machines?
"Christian : you can trigger the QX1 with APM by connecting it to the APM "relay" pin and to the "USB" of the QX1.
But it is not true USB, the plug of the QX1 is compatible with micro USB but it is a proprietary Sony Multi with 10 pin.
You have to by…"

"@Roberto : 1 : Witch lens do you use ? The QX1 allow less than 1s between two picture in manual focus. And less than 2 second with auto-focus. I use it with a Sony 20mm lens.

I had this idea in mind for a long time now, and when I heard about the Mimic from Freefly, I decided to do it for real. This is also part of some small projects I did about all the ways you can connect an Arduino to your radio transmitter to extend…
