"Hugues, thats a good idea. If people would be interested, I see no reason not to :)"

Ebay was running a great deal on refurbished 2nd gen Nexus 7's, so I thought it would be a great time to step away from my HoTT telemetry (and the headache of constantly making the module work with the arducopter code) and upgrade to…

"What a great project! I would definitely love to see more alternative flying machines show up on this site :)"

Daniel Chote commented on Joshua Ott's blog post Thirty days (#24): More new product previews
"the 2 cents I will add in here is pretty simple.  You have to start somewhere, with something. This particular problem is a tough nut to crack, I have spent many weeks now trying to come up with a reasonable brushless gimbal that not only is well…"

I have been working on a fork of the Arduino IDE for use with the Pinocc.io project. With all the improvements I have made, it became my default go to for any Arduino code uploading, so it was inevitable that I would bake in ArduPilot HAL as well!My…

Daniel Chote commented on Heino R. Pull's blog post Ardustation 2 Aircraft Battery Low Voltage Warning (2.0.18)
"Great job! I use graupner telemetry with my gear and settled on 10.6v also. At 10.4v I could consistently cause ESC low voltage glitches if any wind or quick movement occurred. 10.6v gives enough buffer to RTL before anything weird happens."

Primary outline of parts/components are on my tumblr blog: http://projectable.me/post/44872817314/project-edf-tricopter-assemb... really wanted to build something with ducted fans... And I also really wanted a tricopter for its yaw…

Daniel Chote replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released
"I havent read all the comments yet, but I have a loiter bug *possibly*. Its documented in the video and I am attaching the log file as well.  Basically if you flick to loiter from stabilize, you will get periodic (possibly 10 seconds or so) "motor…"

Daniel Chote commented on Eli Cohen's blog post Getting ready to fly Radian Pro with APM 2.5
"Ideally an esd safe foam block like they include in the apm2.5 case kit. Cotten ball may work if you pack it down tight and secure well. My only fear would be the direct prop wash over it still being too much for it. I would try mod the design a bit…"

Daniel Chote commented on John Wiseman's blog post MeCam: A $49 voice-controlled quadrotor
"I could almost believe it, but the video seems like a spoof.  I think the price-point seems right for just the board+cpu, but adding motors+camera+lipo to that would add another 25-30 dollars.  I think the biggest "umm, no" for me, is how do you…"

I finally rebuilt my ATG-700-AL Hexacopter, and got around to moving my QAV500 over to the Graupner receiver.  Now that both platforms were functional, I decided to get stuck in to 2.9 and hott-for-ardupilot. hott-for-ardupilot is some code and user…

Daniel Chote left a comment on ArduRover User Group
"I started a new codebase for my powerwheels rover codebase. But honestly, the fact that I did meant I didnt spend much time adding back any functionality, and I have something that wouldnt be easily mission planner compatible. Im already ready to go…"
