Quick question...does anybody know where to obtain detailed dimension drawings of the Multiplex EasyStar? Or, at the very least, the dimensions of the "cabin"? All I can find is overall length and wingspan. I'm trying to pick out hardware and…
"Another way to look at is, how many people would have died if those same missions were carried out by manned aircraft/troops? Perhaps more (though I don't have figures, so I don't know).
I sort of agree on the "dehumanizing" aspect though. War is…"

"Just out of curiosity (I've never logged telemetry before) -- why is a separate datalogger required? I assume at least many of the people on this site have a ground station they send telemetry to, so why not just record into a file as you go? Can a…"
Hey everybody,Do any of you have experience building an autopilot with a Gumstix module? I know the idea has been thrown around before, but I haven't seen much real discussion about it. I'm torn between the KISS philosophy and the idea of just…
Hello all,I'm in the (very slow =P) process of building a UAV right now, and have decided that I would like to build my own sensor system from scratch, for educational purposes. However, I don't have much experience with sensor integration…
"Yeah, I've had visions of my UAV plunging toward the ground or stalling then plunging toward the ground because of the lack of orientation info. I do think, from what I've seen of the EasyStar, that I'll be able to do short test flights without…"
I’m not going to be able to work on this project for awhile, so I thought I would post about it, partially so that I don’t forget the details myself : )For those of you who don’t know, I’m currently working on a UAV based on a Multiplex EasyStar and…
"Yes, those fireworks were CGI, but I think one of the announcers on the NBC broadcast said so, or at least alluded to that fact -- I remember hearing something to that effect while I was watching the broadcast."
"Hello Stefanos,
Sounds good. Haha I actually don't have too much experience with RC thus far...most of my knowledge was in software until a couple of months ago when I started this project. Right now I'm working on a project with an EasyStar…"

"Hello! Sounds like a very interesting project -- I just got into the whole UAV thing myself not too long ago, but I'd be happy to help as I can and see your progress."
Hello all,I'm working on the auto/manual switching system for my UAV right now, and I was wondering how all of you handle inputting the signal from the receiver. At least for me, the switch on my transmitter that I'm using to switch between auto and…
"Also, instead of starting a new thread, I thought I'd ask a quick question that I can't find a straight answer to:
Would the 5V regulator on the Arduino Diecimila be able to handle the current necessary to drive servos? It would be nice to not need…"

Hello everyone,Besides some small roadblocks, my Arduino-EasyStar UAV project has been going well. The autopilot is nearly debugged (or so I tell myself : P), and I have all of the electronics parts I need, except for the proper batteries.I'm not…
This is sort of the second half to an earlier discussion I started about problems with software serial that I was having with the Arduino. I didn't like the fact that the SoftwareSerial library would hang if serial input was abruptly cut off, so…
"Sorry everyone...looking back, my explanation of my problem wasn't very clear.
The problem is that I need to use pins besides the native serial pins to get GPS data (currently I'm using 6 and 7). Normally, when everything's fine and dandy, the…"

I've come across a small problem with some software serial code in Wiring for the Arduino Diecimila. This is the function I'm using to read information from a GPS module:int SWread(byte rxPin){ byte val = 0; // unsigned long beginTime =…
