Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I love technology, I have had a DIY multirotor interest as soon as they started to break on the internet.

"Hugues, thats a good idea. If people would be interested, I see no reason not to :)"
"Great post aside from one major safety issue. I would suggest reading: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/complete-guide-on-lipo-batteries
It is really important that you don't unevenly discharge a lipo."

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…
"I love the power module, but I think I can speak for a lot of people that 4s is a big restriction. A 6s capable module would be really helpful. I would also love to see a 3dr product for high power PWM."
"What a great project! I would definitely love to see more alternative flying machines show up on this site :)"
"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…"
"Which controller are you using for this? Will there be a 3dr controller too????"
"What a great little product, but I agree with the other comments about price. You can get thermal imaging modules from scrapped high end cars for around 800-1100. At that range it makes sense to a hobby guy, I think 5k is very reasonable for…"
"Just uploaded a new binary to: http://cloud.chote.me/2I3z2g2S0u3i hopefully this fixes the avrdude libusb issue"
"I realized last night that avrdude did not compile statically. I will fix that this morning and post a new binary"
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…
"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…
"Which controller are you usin for this? I've noticed that downwards wobble with APM."
"This is a great place to start, but I would maybe suggest building an H frame out of wood or light aluminum. PVC will definitely become the source of frustration.

"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…"
