About Me:

Moved into the wonderful world of R/C, UAVs and UGVs when a old friend introduced me to DIY Drones and asked for help with his ArduPilot powered Easystar plane. I joined the APM:Rover developer team and so met Thomas J Coyle and Andrew Tridgell in 2012. In 2014 i joined and helped out the (LOHAN) Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator mission with fiddling the avionics into a 3D printed rocket plane. RIP Goodspeed Lester!


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Main Interest right now shifting towards bigger Systems and Linux related developments. Please look at http://bbbmini.com/ for infos about the BBBmini DIY Linux Autopilot Kit.

"Congrats Jesse!
We should encourage Tom to visit AVC again in 2017 :)
Though the rover code truly would need some love to compete with tough competititors.
I pretty like the fact that they made it harder :)"

Linus replied to Mirko Denecke's discussion I have a BBBMINI PCB / I need a BBBMINI PCB in BBBmini
"Hi Larry,

as far as i can see and know shenzentu.com had still only the 1.4 rev PCB to sell and they didn't provide the CAN transceiver. It was just the socket.

I had ordered two of these, they arrived quickly from china but came with header pins…"

Linus replied to Chris L's discussion Pixhawk with DJI Lightbridge
"I think the LB needs to be connected to the DJI FC somehow but cant remember the details.
How else would it be able to display the Telemtry data on the screen if there is no connection.
I would try the Connex stuff."
