Jordi Orlando commented on HeliStorm's blog post Amazon Prime Air
"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."

Jordi Orlando commented on PX4's blog post PX4 and 3D Robotics present Pixhawk: An Advanced, User-Friendly Autopilot
"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!"

Jordi Orlando commented on Jordi Orlando's blog post An Arduino Micro Clone
"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…"

Jordi Orlando commented on Stefan Gofferje's blog post UxV control station - first video
"@Jason
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!"

Jordi Orlando commented on Jordi Orlando's blog post Introducing Glowduino!
"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…"
