About Me:

Insatiable curiosity. I've been flying RC planes for many years. Happily married with grown children.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

It's something I've spent many hours daydreaming of. Until now unfortunatly I've lacked the skill set and the time to put the whole package together.

"Adi,
Welcome to the group.  It's my understanding that a 'shield' in this case is basically a daughter board attached to the main processor board to add additional functions, a Gyro would measure degrees of rotation in any particular direction and…"

"@ Allen You'll need to use one of the 1.2/1.3 Ghz Video set ups most likely. (1.280 Ghz in the USA) You cannot get reasonable results using more than 1 transmitter on or near any given Frequency.  Using Circularly Polarized Antennas will greatly…"

"@ Brian [Observed: When testing full stick deflection, to the right I get a very nice tight turn but to the left it's much wider. I remember a discussion that spoke of a similar problem so I'm going to go hunt that down to determine where to fix the…"

Ed Stewart commented on Roberto Navoni's blog post The Better Computer for our Advanced 3D Ground station .
"TRS80, Atari ST I modded with another stack of 512k memory chips for 1 meg total so I could have a ram disk to make my Kings Quest and Leisure Suit Larry load faster.... Then a Intel DX33 that I swapped in a 36Mhz crystal so I had bragging rights…"

Ed Stewart commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post How to boost your 2.4Ghz Spektrum/JR Transmitter signal!
"It very much depends on your application, for flying line of sight (a kilometer or so) the stock antenna will serve you very well. If your going for long range FPV type flying you could read some of Ibcrazy's threads on rcgroups.com for a education…"

Ed Stewart commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post How to boost your 2.4Ghz Spektrum/JR Transmitter signal!
"yes but it looks like it might be a high gain, meaning very directional antenna so it would need to be pointed at the aircraft.  Possibly even when it was close in and over head...  That's the problem with any high gain antenna.  You trade coverage…"

Ed Stewart commented on Melih Karakelle's blog post New Opensource LRS Coming
"That's a great question Kamu. I wonder if these will be a DIY module that is to fit inside the transmiter like the Frysky unit or if it could fit inside a module that we could swap out for our regular 2.4Ghz gear and recievers.  I'd be willing to…"

Ed Stewart replied to Mark Randall's discussion Rembizi OSD on APM?
"It's not quite like 'T'ing into a pipe to share the data, there is a bit of 2 way communication going on with the GPS. To my understanding the advantages would be having to buy only one GPS and sharing the digital information from the APM and the…"
