"You mentioned how you were unhappy with the MS4525HDR. What was the sensor you were happiest with?"
"@Martin--
I'd give them a bit more credit. UZH is across the street from ETHZ, and there's a lot of cross-pollination that goes on. In addition, Davide Scaramuzza is a rising star in the robotics vision world so my ears always perk up when I see…"

"Gary--
Full disclosure, I left BU to go work at CyPhy Works. My comments might be biased. ;)
What I love about the hobbyist community is that it does an invaluable job of testing software and user interfaces. I know we did a lot of this together at…"

"What they're showing isn't so much a technological feat as a mathematical one. My guess is that they started with Lee brackets, in order to discover the controllable space, and then depending on how tricky it was to go there they either used a…"
"Got a response from W. Garris on the question of the the TechPod's center of gravity. He says "On the spar is neutral. 1/4 to 1/3 MAC (root cord is MAC* ) is normal."
I don't have my TechPod to measure the wing chord, so I'm not sure where that…"

"Looks great! All the mods are really interesting.Out of curiosity, where did you get the 85-90mm C.G. range? http://diydrones.ning.com/profiles/blogs/my-techpod-nears-completio... suggests that it's at the center spar, which according to my calipers…"
"Ghislain--
Be very careful about shorts. It's a close fit, which becomes impossible to manage if you have soldered on the other USART pins.
Since I hadn't soldered on the pins, I was able to get in there and apply a tiny bit of twisting pressure…"

"This is absolutely not what lilvinz would recommend, but here's how i did it:
I just had to cut back the 5th and 6th header pins, which you can (barely) see in the photo. Note, wire lengths cannot be very long for flashing to work. It failed every…"

"K. Finisterre's explanations are possible, but not plausible once you consider the source. "There are too many honest journalists... to chase claims made by people with a deserved reputation for carelessness and dishonesty. "

"Thanks, guys. As I'm nearing completion, the next question I have is how the bay doors and gimbal are supposed to assemble? Maybe just a photo of the bay doors open and closed, and the gimbal assembled mounted to servos would be enough."
"Where's the center of gravity on the techpod? I'm trying to finish mine up, but I can't find a figure for this."
"That system config error is because you're trying to arm the model while it is in an inherently unsafe configuration. You might have left one flight mode in manual, for instance.
In order to interpret this error more informatively, check the UAVO…"

"Not sure why people would think of an alternative manufacture CC3D, or that we (Tau Labs) would design cases. This board is not produced by Tau Labs, it's produced by Quanton Gmbh. It's weird to want to force an independent manufacturer into a…"
"@OlivierD What's neat about autopilots right now is that they've basically become commodity products. You can design the hardware in a weekend, with an extremely good chance of success on the first try. After that, it's all about software. So the…"
"@Guy This is getting severely off-topic, but I am funded by BCI to build a bat-tracking UAS. It seems that there's a lot of us looking into UAVs for wildlife research these days.
FYI, while Freedom is one of our two reference platforms, there are no…"

"@Guy What are you looking for in the way of a board? As far as processor power and RAM goes, it's the equivalent of the next-gen PixHawk hardware. Or is it software functionality you feel is missing?
If it's software, please don't hesitate to let…"
