Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Always been fascinated with RC Aerial Vehicles but haven't flown in a long time. A couple of weeks ago I decided to take it up again, got my hands on a simulator, started practicing and started researching the latest developments. Am an avid fan of the Arduino platform which I've used in many projects. Always dreamed of building a UAV with photography and filming being the main interest. Back then it was just a dream. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this site !

"No, I hope to do a lot more than PCB's, but I would like to do PCB's easily. A lot of the reviews on hobby CNC's when I started looking last year referred to them being a problem in terms of having a sturdy enough base to hold the copper down evenly…"

After getting stung in the Lumenlab Micro debacle last year for a grand, I have almost given up on having…"

Minim Osd
Hi all,I've just been doing some tests with the Minim Osd and I must say it's great. One thing which is bothering me though is the positioning of the characters on the screen. I am transmitting using a fatshark 5.8 Ghz transmitter to my fat shark…

Yaw is Sluggish
Hi all,I've just been outside flying my recently rebuilt arducopter. I've added a lot of extras like FPV, OSD and LEDS. This has led me to cable tie the video transmitter and osd board onto different arms. I was worried that this might introduce…

Eoin commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Octocopter for a RED camera
"Very interesting. It appears to be a Red Epic. Firmware still has a lot of bugs, but if it lives up to it's promises it should be an excellent camera. 120 fps at 5K. Cool !"

Need advice on Voltage and Current readings
Hi all,I sat down last night to install the attopilot current sensor on my quad but must admit that after reading the wiki I have come away a bit confused. The wiki suggests that if you are using a 3 cell lipo (which I am) that I should use the…

"u4eake, I'm pretty sure I did. However in trying to track down this problem I've effectively taken the quad completely apart. As I'm rebuilding today I will make sure to follow the AC2 Wiki in case that's what happened."
