"That's some pretty hefty hardware you're putting up in the air! Thought about doing any onboard optical flow control or the like?"

Kyle Corbitt commented on Tj Bordelon's blog post Finally, my autopilot is "finished"....
"Is there any way you could give us some more details? I'm very interested in this setup, particularly things like what chip you used for the digital radio."

Kyle Corbitt commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post New Portable Open-Source ArduPilot Ground Station (Arduino and Xbee Based)
"Jordi, This is a very nifty idea. I think that it could easily be expanded to replace the RC radio as well if a couple of thumbsticks are added and support for two-way communication is added to ArduPilot Pro. Is this something that you are working…"

Kyle Corbitt commented on Kyle Corbitt's blog post Starting a new ground station
"Great! Adding graphical instrument displays was one of my priorities as well, after getting a working backend. I was going to ask a friend much more talented than myself to generate the actual images (vector or bitmap) but if you're creating some…"

"Cool. I don't have any back end to speak of just yet, but as soon as I do I'll upload it and you can take what works. Do you have anything shareable completed?"

Kyle Corbitt replied to Kyle Corbitt's discussion ArduPilot comms protocol
"Reto,

Good point, I agree that when controlling individual servos in manual mode priority should be on spitting out commands at the maximum rate possible, and missing data isn't a big deal. But I think that when in autopilot mode the connection…"

After learning in my last thread that the ArduPilot roadmap is going in the direction that I was considering branching it, I tried to think of the best way for me to help accelerate the effort without duplicating existing projects or stepping on…

Kyle Corbitt commented on Simon Kerr's blog post New Sparkfun Toys - Atomic IMU 6 DoF
"Wouldn't it be simpler to put the GPS on the IMU board itself, have it process the data locally and simply return the unified position and velocity vectors to the ArduPilot? If all the ArduPilot is doing with GPS data is parsing it and passing it to…"
