Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
It all started with Quad-copters, but now I'm expanding to anything R/C... :-)

"Hyon, I can offer my two cents -
If all you're after is manual flying - you don't need a 32 bit MCU.
You might not even need a 6 DoF IMU.
If you want greater autonomy, you need better sensors and better algorithms.
This is why several autopilot…"

"Just a few quick notes, since I may not have clear enough -
* The Revo platform is very much in 'beta' state. It may still have bugs lurking around, and you will probably have to deal with problems at some point. This is not a commercial product…"

Hi everyone!I'm not affiliated with the OpenPilot project, but I figured it couldn't hurt to spread the knowledge - the OpenPilot Revolution ('Revo') platform is available for a limited time (orders close on November 5th).The Revo is a very capable…
"That's just great, Bill!Keep pushing the envelope, you're helping us all :-)"
"The AR.drone does onboard feature tracking and optical flow, which is most of the hard work needed to track a unique beacon. They may very well be doing some work on a ground computer, but it could possibly be done autonomously as well, which is…"
"Bill, as someone that has watched your previous iterations with a mixed bag of joy and envy, I cannot be happier to hear you're working on a way to make your boards available to the public.
This board will shoot any APM out of the water!"

"You'll start having major problems really fast - even if you could ramp up the thrust linearly with rotor weight (and you can't) - the intertia of the rotor will rise with the square of the radius. Also, it would be very hard (and heavy) to…"
"Am I the only one that thinks this can NEVER work? (at least the way this guy's doing it...)I don't think he's going to get anywhere near the required control bandwidth from a fixed vector, fixed pitch quad.In my mind, a larger quad will only be…"
"UltraPWM should be just regular PWM at a higher frequency.
Is there any info on their website/wiki? (google translate if you must...)"

"You're going to have major problems with most webcams and generic camera modules, as most are based on CMOS imagers that only support an Electronic Rolling Shutter. This will introduce major artifacts.
Also, be prepared to pack some real processing…"

"Awesome project, based on OpenPilot hardware.

"Amazing! :-)"
"Why do people care so much about whether the item is in stock or not? You can still order it when it is on backorder - and you'll get your shiny new 9x BEFORE everyone who insists on waiting for it to be in stock before ordering...
For most items,…"

"Great idea!
I ride street bikes, and have been dreaming of an automatic "wheelie" button forever.
That obviously would have required control of the gas as well as the brake, and while it shouldn't be hard to do on modern "ride-by-wire" bikes, I…"

"Anthony,Thank you for your reply.
I won't be needing the USB modification. The USART port should be enough for what I want to do (RTK using RTKLIB).I believe I'd like to purchase two (2) units at this time, and perhaps get a few more in a few…"
