Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I like programming the UAV more than actually flying it.

Daniel Nugent commented on Charles Blouin's blog post The Otus Tracker by RCbenchmark: a more affordable motion-capture system for drone development.
"Cool idea, but the price is too high for this community. You're selling like $50 dollars of components for $1000."

"Nice! I wish I had a yacht for you. I'd love to see ardupilot put on a full size boat."

Daniel Nugent commented on Chris Anderson's blog post MIT vision-based navigation with IRIS+
"Nice job Seb! Could you explain what is going on here? Is this an optical flow flight?"

Daniel Nugent commented on Bart Theys's blog post VertiKUL 2: our second generation of transitioning VTOL UAV for automated aerial transport
"A cool test would be to plot throttle out vs airspeed with and without the plane fuselage( just a quadrotor frame). Would be a great way to visualize performance increase. "

You can use ethernet or use a second wifi adapter/card"

Daniel Nugent commented on Thomas Stone's blog post SOLO Smart Drone lands smartly :)
"Nice job guys!
Is this with the velocity controller?
Why did you use the spark/photon instead of a regular arduino?

Daniel Nugent commented on dronebohne's blog post 3DR X8+ | DroneKit | Vision System | Part 2
"@bill
I like that. I am going to use that from now on!

@Bim
Guided mode requires GPS, even when using velocity commands. There may be a feature in the future which will allow the copter to be controller using tilt angles. That will not require GPS.…"

Daniel Nugent replied to Justin Bishop's discussion Scripting DroneKit on my Solo? in 3DR SOLO
"Solo is currently running an old version of Dronekit(v1.0 instead of v1.2) and documentation on how to get Dronekit running on Solo is in the works.  Running Dronekit v1.0 on Solo is not recommend."

Daniel Nugent commented on Kai Yan's blog post Controling a copter by image recognition
"Very impressive! Was there any reason you tapped into the trainer port of the transmitter instead of sending mavlivk commands(rc override) directly from the tablet using telemetry radios?"
