"I want to see autonomous blimps with winches to deliver packages. There would be significantly less risk of death-by-propeller, and the capability for higher payloads/longer flight times."
"I think that the case should still have mounting holes, just in case someone wants to hard mount it to a pre-vibration-dampened frame. Besides that, it looks great, and with a good price point too!"
"Hi Tom!
APM communicates using the MAVLink protocol. I'm pretty sure there's already an Arduino library available that allows you to interface with it, but if not then I will definitely write one. With MAVLink support comes the ability to read…"
"Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for commenting, you've prompted me to create another post outlining what has happened in the past 8 months :) An Arduino Micro Clone
Jordi"
Hello, my name is Jordi. I'm currently a high school senior, but I will be graduating in a few weeks, after which I will be attending university with a major in Electrical Engineering. I've been a long-time follower of the diydrones community and…
"I really like your use of Anderson Powerpoles, they are always my connector of choice. Also, this project sounds very interesting, I'll be sure to keep an eye on it :)"

Yeh, I do agree that simplicity is nice. If I want a GCS I'd rather lean towards a purpose-built rig, perhaps in a vehicle.
@Stefan
Very true, yet compatibility between the devices could be really cool. Great work!"
"Five minutes before this post went up I randomly googled "GoPro Hero 3" to see if there was anything new... This is great, too bad I already have the Hero2..."
"How many matices would you like to control (daisy chain)? The glow wire seems very doable, and the board would come with an inverter. This inverter could easily be powered off a regulated 12V power supply, allowing you to use any size battery. I'm…"
"Although it doesn't seem as though I'll be able to fit these features on the glowduino as space is very tight, I am intrigued and have already started developing an EL board. One question I have is what exactly do you mean by:
"2. Outputs from…"
