Bill Noyce commented on Andrew Tridgell's blog post Two APMs, one plane
"I do like the sound of having a failover system, but in reality how many events will allow you to identify that your primary APM is misbehaving? There is obviously the situation of complete loss of data from the primary APM to the monitoring…"

Bill Noyce replied to Olivier ADLER's discussion Megaplanner Crashes
"Yes i see this. It's been difficult to detect a pattern of activity which causes the crash.

"Great looking Hexa, beautifully minimal.
 
Is there any issue with having the APM sensors forward of the CoG? Did you have to customise the AC2 code?
 
Would you be happy to share the information about the Motors and Props, plus any idea of the…"

Bill Noyce commented on Denny Rowland's blog post  <br />  <br /> Hi Guys I have for some time been developing this flying camera, I say camera as this is a departure from the norm. Whereas most people make a copter that just happens to have a camera mount this
"Sounds very cool. My camera mount UAV is still in design stage, but nothing quite as smart as you are developing.
I would love to know where you sourced your damping shocks? I spent an evening online and i found nothing small enough for quadcopter…"

Bill Noyce replied to Bill Noyce's discussion Non-uniform geometry of a quadcopter
"Thanks for the replies, they have been really helpful. ArdupiratesNG has the clean mixer table code which will hopefully find it's way into ACM as at this stage ACM does not have the mixer layer of abstraction.
 
I will build the airframe and see…"

I am about to embark on quadcopter mark 2 but before wasting materials i would like to share my idea to find out if it is ridiculous and destined to not be flyable/stable.The idea is to move away from a uniform 90 degree cross airframe and instead…

"Here is the ground station i am working on. It started out being based around an arduino Duemilanove but it soon became clear that having multiple serial ports would speed development and also make it possible to include a GPS for many fun uses in…"

"LOL, just received my usb host mini boards from Oleg yesterday! and was looking forward to trying to get my G9 talking to it. It is a great shame that Canon has dropped support within the newer powershot cameras for the cool stuff like remote…"
