""I2C on their resume"... I think you misspelled "CAN" :-D"
"@Thomas Butler Do you know which (if any) of these batteries are SMBus compatible? I've thought the same thing for a while, that there's a ready supply of smart batteries available for power tools that would be great in a drone. I hardly think of…"
"I've been thinking about building something like this for a while, including building an I2C driver for ArduPilot. Nice work."
"The glue is normal, as Thomas said. It was added to reinforce that connector. The connector is a "pinch to release" type, but it's so close to the Cube it's impossible to pinch. So people tend to push on the tab to release it, causing it to break…"
"Ah, yes, I would get out into an area where you're certain not to have interference from buildings and whatnot and try there. The Here+ is pretty good at getting satellite reception near my house in a yard with trees, but those structures definitely…"
"Does this condition persist for very long after you power up? With my Here+, I usually have a fix within 2 minutes of powering it up, usually much sooner than that. Until then you'll of course get a "No GPS" or "NoFix" status, but after that you…"
"You can, but not if you want RTK correction data to be sent to the vehicle. If you're not using the base station, you'll just be using a normal 3D fix."
"Seems like automating one of those Yamaha copters for tasks like this makes a lot more sense than waiting around for multirotors to get some kind of magical battery and a 4000% increase in lift capacity for things like spraying. I wonder what it…"
"Ironically, April 1 is the day people are apt to regard what they read on the internet with more than the normal amount of skepticism, including me. So I thought I would at least bring it up."
"Just to be clear: This isn't an April Fool's joke?"
"Hi Chris,
This is already in place. The way I implemented the low-alt fence, it's just another fence type. Normally, if you turn on the fence and set a max altitude and a max distance, you effectively have an invisible "cylinder" around you,…"

"Hi Chris,
Yes, I've had it running for a while now, probably 4 months. It's being run on some drones from someone I know in New Zealand. He runs his drones over the ocean, and uses this to ensure he (and his customers) don't fly them into the…"

"I just looked on http://3dr.com/support where I found the link before, and it's changed now. Now, I simply have the option of emailing them. Which, based on my experience with email support with 3DR, doesn't seem like a good thing. I've emailed them…"
"I needed phone support the other day. I couldn't find a number, but I found a link to a form I could fill out and have them call me. They called me back about 30 minutes later. So I guess that's sort of phone support. Works for me."
"I don't think for a second the DIY "experiment" is coming to an end.
DJI has obviously sewn up the consumer market. They have the brand name people recognize, and the look of the Phantom has become synonymous with "drone" in the minds of nearly all…"

"Great job, and very sorry to see the crash. "
