"I agree with Euan. Sometime back i had this in mind. But after deep brainstorming, i found extremely few situations where drones would be used to deliver emergency medical supplies. Survival supplies is a practical scenario though."
The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority finally broke the silence about the use of UAVs in the Kenyan airspace. This was probably provoked a couple of drone articles and incidences that have been published recently. Just recently, a writer for a local…
"Hey. I never really got much replies but i found a way to do this. In mission planners hidden window, there is a moving base button. This should take carw of a moving groundstation. I havent tried it though."
"In my opinion, you don't need a lot of nex or SLR camera functionalities when flying. This mod for the GoPro gives most of what we would need to do with an airborne camera....with the much reduced AUW, I consider it as a great setup. The cost is…"
Hi Folks,I intend to use this camera. The cameras controls are on a RS 485 port. Any suggestions on how I could wire up a hack that will enable me to use PPM/PWM radio control to control the camera?My last resort would be to wire in a relay switch…
"Thanks John. Checking them out."
Today I was reading about "ABSOLUTE ALTITUDE" in mission planner. This got me thinking.....mission planner is able to get elevation data from google and guide the drone to maintain altitude relative to the real ground altitude. All this is done via…

I'm developing a community policing plan for my hood. That's about 4 square kilometers. I'm thinking of having a multi rotor that would always be on standby to assist security guards on…"

"When I tested, the latency wasn't much. I got imu data almost instantly. This setup might not work for rc control for manual flight but it might be a good setup for someone looking to have multiple telemetry connections to one drone."
"im still looking for a bluetooth app that would be able to do the same. "
"The link above now works"
"I tried to achieve the same results using an android device. Check out my blog post.

Hi Folks,I have been trying out a telemetry bridge setup. The main aim is to be able to use Droid Planner/Andropilot on android or even mission planner without the telemetry module hanging around the tablet or PC.My setup is as follows:AIRBORNE: APM…
"Unfortunately, I didnt document the build, however, feel free to ask me info about anything. Im not an expert but I will give you all the information I have."
"Hi Guys,
I successfully tested a bridge that i set up using an android device hosting the telemetry module and an app called mavcell.
I wrote about it on this blog post.
The blog post is still waiting approval. Incase the url changes, I will update…"

I'm very impressed by how my newly built Tarot t960 performed an autolanding in relatively strong winds with ArduCopter 3.1. I haven't spent so much time tuning the copter but the auto-landing was quite impressive. Landed back at the exact same spot…
