Cool Dude commented on Chris Anderson's blog post How do modern open source autopilots compare to aerospace-grade IMUs?
"  It would be best if someone who has actually experience in installing one of these in a model gives us some insight. I have seen many models ( heli/planes)  using pixhawk but never one of these."

Cool Dude commented on Chris Anderson's blog post More powerful Pixhawk 3 coming soon
"Guys I have looking forward for IMU with Cortex M7. OpenMV guys have come up with a borad which has M7. So why is Pixhawk behind. It seems to be the logical next step."

"I was wondering why don't they use cortex M7? It is more powerful and has on board double precision  floating point processor."

Cool Dude commented on sander's blog post Scam warning: NEMORC.COM and DRONADA.COM
"  I have had similar experience with some US based stores. Like  airstarintl.com. They take your money and not ship your stuff. The phone number they provide 1-(805)-553-9996 is also not valid. When I dial this number it says that the number is not…"

Cool Dude replied to Michel Maalouf's discussion Pixhawk on traditional helicopter
"Hi Michael,
  Looke like you have basic setup issues. I am not familiar with this hirobo model but by the pictures it does not appear to be H1 setting (Although it is not very clear). It is more like swash plate based system. I quick web search…"

Cool Dude commented on Dario Lindo Andres's blog post How to: Compile ArduPilot on Windows 10 with Ubuntu Bash.
"This is pretty awesome. I can even run SITL in this. I was wondering if there is a way to access the VCOM port created by ftdi. In that case we can run mavproxy to act as ground station. That would be great."

Cool Dude commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New OpenMV computer vision board, with twice the power
" I did not read carefully before that this project is fully open source. I did order V2 from Robotshop and I am pretty happy with it. However I am interested in using 2 of these for stereo vision. Since the V3 will allow two pins to take pictures at…"

Cool Dude commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New OpenMV computer vision board, with twice the power
"If the firmware was open source, I am sure there would be lot more interest in this than currently present. That will allow a big community to contribute and come up with unique ideas and solutions."

"Hi Thomas,
  I think this is Pixhawk 2 why have you labelled 2.1. Is it an improvement, perhaps the next generation ST ARM chip."

Cool Dude commented on Thomas J Coyle III's blog post Pixhawk 2.1 set to fly off shelves
"Hi Rob,
  I successfully build 3 traditional heli using pixhawk with great success just with foam. Not I am trying to build one using Nitro engine and foam is not enough for vibration isolation. I have to use elastic rope setup. Do you think the…"

Cool Dude commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New 3DR autopilot: Pixhawk Mini
"I guess I will try one then we will know if it is any good. I am hoping that Ardupilot is quickly ported to this platform. It might not fully meet our expectation, but it does has some improvements over others. I guess this will px5 in the software…"

Cool Dude commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Lidar Lite back with V3 after Garmin aquisition
"I also got one yesterday. I am still to try it out though. Now they are using micro connector so I have to do some work before I can try it. I had ordered V2 from Robot shop when it was back ordered. Then they said that V2 is not available however…"
