About Me:
Beginner to UAV and all things 'copter. Squeezing in a steep learning curve between being a husband and systems engineer. If my wife comings looking for me, I was never here... I'm a linux and virtualisation specialist, but comfortable doing almost anything relating to computers.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I was lucky enough to have my wife buy me my first heli (120sr), and since then have a small library of heli's from syma s107g, s108, wltoys v911, v939, v949, hubsan x4, blade 120sr, blade mCPx/2, goodluckbuy dji f450 clone, butterfly x250 DIY, and a few other bits and pieces and still kitting up on tools.

"With AIO flight controllers like the 20x20mm 6.5g XJB F425, F410 and F310 getting around, I can't help but wonder why ArduPilot/APM Copter doesn't have support for such neat little boards. These things have SPI bus capable of 8KHz refresh rates, and…"
"You could also switch to some smaller Mini ESCs or even a single mini 4-in-1.. would blent into the arms a lot more than those T-Motor Airs."
"Need small OSD? get a Micro MinimOSD or OSDoge and use FrSky telemetry with the X4R-SB or trusty D4R-II receivers"
"@mamoon, there are 6 server/esc pwm outputs broken out already. So no need to jump to CAN. How many motors do you want to drive with a min/micro oriented FC?"
"Love the form factor. It's about time... "
"Hi,
I just wanted to add my voice to the list of people who've experienced multiple crashes when running Pixhawk with Afro ESCs running Simonk (sorry, not sure which version specifically - whatever they were shipped with mid 2014).
I've got…"

"EmergencyStop, InterLock and Brake are some nice new features of AC3.3.
As others have pointed out, some of these are legally required in some jurisdictions.
I'm looking forward to setting these up and carefully testing them out along with all the…"

"Congratulations! This has been a long time coming, but due to careful testing and a LOT of community feedback. Thanks to the developers and the testers for all the long hours!"
"There is no limit."
Another Lithium-Ion battery tech story...An advanced manufacturing approach for lithium-ion batteries, developed by researchers at MIT and at a spinoff company called 24M, promises to significantly slash the cost of the most widely used type of…
"Seeing it lift that tyre just makes me want to laugh... kind of a nervous laugh seeing it so effortlessly hoist it up and fly off... it takes me back to the days of boot-camp fitness classes where the trainer made us run around carrying a tyre…"
"Really?
If it's not lmgtfy.com then you're not trying hard enough: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=pixhawk+2 :p
Google doesn't turn up much. I guess Colin Guinn is trying to build up some hype by deliberately keeping it quiet.. but there really isn't a lot of…"

"Good advice. I've also lost configuration after (wrongly) assuming that the parameters were all loaded properly in MP2 before making a change and writing them back. If you don't have a backup of the parameters, it is a crap way to spend the next…"
"I'm not a fan of DJI, not at all, but they do do some things right. They've innovated in areas like self locking props (the number of times I've seen a 3DR quadcopter with those smooth interface collet prop adapters suddenly loose a prop, sheesh)...…"
"Disclaimer: I have not read through this rapidly growing thread. So bear in mind that may already have been raised.
