About Me:
Software architect and developer - works in the radar industry. Has worked a lot with robotics both as a hobby and thru my work. Would like to write the very narrow targeted book "Java for vampires" Company website: www.usavtech.com
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Have a keen interest for everything that flies, especially electric powered vehicles.

I've searched for similar issues but haven't really been able to find anything even though this seems like a firmware bug.I've created a waypoint mission like this with a land and takeoff sequence in the middle of the mission:1. Takeoff2. Waypoint…
"Currently using 2x18650 LG 3400 mAh's. They give me around 40 minutes when flying economically"
"Sounds a lot like what I did a while back in this DIYDrones blog. I used the XMPP protocol to communicate "Human" messages and telemetry from the drone to a computer in the field or a server at home - and natural language messages (like: "go to…"
"Hi Trent - so nice to have you back - was starting to worry!
You are such an inspiration to the community and you always come up with new exciting projects - can't wait to see how this adventure unfolds.

What you want is a simple "This is better than the other" but I'm not able to give you that for at least two reasons.
1. I do not use APM, the telemetry protocol I use is designed for swarms or very fast telemetry transmission, with…"

"@Jake - judging from the thumbs up on this post, some did find it informative.
What I simply concluded was that if you want to try out a different antenna design that is more aerodynamic, lighter and easier to integrate onto your airframe then give…"

"@Bertrand - No interference - it was a concern when I mounted it, but no problems there - cheap Turnigy servos seems to work great :-)
@Justin - Yeah - they are really cheap and of good quality"

"One hurdle is the connector - but a little re-soldering of the 3DR radio shouldn't be to difficult."
As you may have read from my previous blogs - I’m experimenting with an autonomous pilot system that is able to guide several vehicles in a coordinated fashion. Each vehicle is outfitted with a transmitter that sends telemetry information back to…
"@Dan - you might say so, but with exchangeable pods you can use the same base drone for multiple purposes - click on, click off.
@Gary - Delivery of sensor hardware to remote locations is very good idea. I was more thinking in ways of relieving the…"

I've been working on a universal pod, to carry additional equipment on drones. While I was playing around with my 3D program of choice (Shade 3D) I got the brilliant idea to add a set of small wings to my pod.The idea is to create some additional…
"I see three main reasons for using a pod;
1. Experimentation and fun - today you want to experiment with gas sensors - tomorrow you want to do some nir photography - just exchange the pod and you have a completely different sensor beast - quick and…"

I’ve been experimenting with a small analysis package I originally called the SIXPack (Scientific X-Pander Pack). The idea is to have a module you can slap on to (almost) any drone. The module contains a microcontroller and storage device, and can…
"Yes - been thinking along the same lines - but the battery controller is a bit too much for me to build.
It should definitely be current based (meaning that when amps go above some threshold, the LIPO kicks in and saves the day).
It should also…"

And they say smoking is bad - Part 2Last time I looked at a set of 18650 batteries that had some nice specs, but in the end proved to give me less flying time than my half capacity LI-PO.I got a lot of comments - thank you so much - and several…

Ok - I probably need 6 amps for take-off and 2-4 amps during flight.
I just ordered two NCR18650 - let's see how they perform."
