Hey guys,I'm thinking about trying to use my APM2.5 and Raspberry Pi as just an IMU to measure pitch, roll, and yaw of a floating object. Has anyone tried interfacing the two with i2c or uart? I'd also be using a Ublox gps to monitor position.Thanks…
"Is that really necessary when there's abandoned airstrips like Loring Air Force Base (that are pretty similar to what is described)?"
The title says it all.Instead of being reactive and trying to go along with the "drones are scary" fad, Oklahoma is being proactive about the issue. They want to be a leader in the UAS industry, and are making steps with their education systems,…
"Nevermind- the flight controller is from Hoverfly. There's more discussion about it here: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?10153-Hoverfly-on-Go..."
"That's a Droidworx AD8-heavy lifter frame with Axi motors, what looks to be photohigher or photoship one 360 gimbal, and DJI? (guessing from the GPS boom) flight controller. I have a very similar setup and the thing is a tank."

Something has been running through my head and I want to see what other people think. Am I the only one crazy enough to really want an open-source automobile? My background is in automotive, and I can see ardu-based (or something similar) hardware…

"HI Rob,
I'm from Maine and started a similar business last year. In the past year we've done a decent amount of real estate/ corporate jobs, a job for Redbull which landed on their website, and a handful private ones. I'd be willing to help you out…"

"This is great!"
"Ariley and Matt- It looks like you guys are right and Bloomberg is totally misleading. It seems like we (public agencies at this point) have to go through a 2-tiered (training/performance evaluation and operational) COA process. The timing of the…"
I don't know how many of you guys have seen this yet, but this is HUGE NEWS for us. No COA needed for drones up to 25 pounds, as long as it's being operated by a U.S. safety agency.Check out the article that came out 2 hours ago on…
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts/opinions/technical knowledge concerning terrain-mapping from a drone. I'm curious about it, but it seems like the only thing lidar is being used for is aerial navigation like this MIT is doing…
