About Me:
I'm a mechatronics engineer. Currently, I'm the project manager for UAS technology for Unison Networks Ltd, an electricity distribution company based primarily in the Hawke's Bay area of New Zealand.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Investigating the possibilities which UAS technology offer for asset management of electricity distribution networks: this means I've got some interest in just about everything to do with UAVs, from flight control through machine vision to regulatory considerations.

"(Having looked at the implementation in APM_RC.cpp) Why isn't the timer/counter's 'TOP' value just reduced to 5000 rather than having that 'Force_Out0_Out1' jazz? Manipulating the timer/counter register to 'skip' over part of the timing seems…"
