About Me:
Been involved with FPV gliding for about 10years - from the days of hacking the first 2.4GHz video transmitters!
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Just finished building an Easystar with the aim of installing FPV and the Ardupilot. Updated the code to use TWI between the Ardupilot and IMU and GCS, testing is underway.

"Yup, looks like I was drinking a little too much and threw up in ASCII !"
"ok Greg, noted a few minutes too late...
I'll have a look into starting a google code page but it would be nice to have an open area for people to book out code and upload their own changes to help progress this faster."

"Just be aware that this code is initial and untested in the air! Also, a bit of data has been stripped out to speed sending and processing and I don't think the TWI comms lost routines work yet. I will be improving on this unfinished code in the…"
"The Ardupilot IMU routine, thanks to MarkW for the original design. Hopefully this will give most people a start into TWI.

"ok I'll attach as text the main and TWI routines for the IMU... I will attach the library files tonight / tomorrow. I've ended up hacking the Ardupilot so I'll need to get the release version and add the TWI functions as an option, I'll do this in…"
"I would like to attach the first version of the TWI code - how do you add a .zip file to a blog entry?"
"During the current ground testing it's all held together with tape but as I get time I'll be mounting everything securely, if you look at the picture a few frames above showing the side view of the fuselage you can see a small clear circular roll,…"
"First photos of the easystar being built and modified..."
"Thanks for the translation Ken!"
Metaphorically speaking that is!Seeing the development of code for the Ardupilot 'legacy*' has slowed right down I've decided to start modifying it myself to be a little more functional. As I progress I'll post the updated code for everyone to…
