About Me:
I just returned from a year long contract flying UAVs over seas and now I am starting to invest time and energy into UAV innovation and advancement.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am a UAV pilot, and I do mean pilot. The UAV I flew had ATOL capability, however most of my take offs and landings were full manual using a front facing camera. It doesn't get much more exciting than a good solid out of limits crosswind landing with a front facing camera on a small runway. Now I am working on some UAV projects of my own and loving every minute of it.

"Hello, can someone shoot me a quick answer if they happen to know. Does the software still support hooking up 2 current sense boards? In the manual it shows that A1 and A2 are for volt and current sensing, but it also shows A3 and A4 can be used…"
"Good morning! (East Coast flyer here)
I wanted to pass along some info that might help out a few people. I had a heck of a time hooking up my MinimOSD to my APM 2.5 board. The telemetry port is now a small plug-in type of connection…"
