I like quadcoters
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am using UAV's for science fair. Easier said then done considering my negligible R/C experience.

"And I'm sure we'll be seeing a Kickstarter any day now."
"Prediction number 3 doesn't appear to be very bold at all."
"This is a really interesting design. How is the fuselage made?"
"I suggest you take a look at DroneKit. It offers location control of the drone based on GPS coordinates and based off of desired acceleration readings from the IMU. All communication is done via telemetry however. http://dronekit.io/"
"@Felix, I'm flying octas quite heavily these days, hence my issues with the CAN bus, however I was not aware that it had PM out. Thanks for the info."
"Had a similar problem when I was starting up, but in my case I had the speed controls connected to the incorrect PWM output on the PDB. I'd recommend looking into that as well."
"I really REALLY like the look of this board but a seriously prohibiting factor is going to be the premium of CAN integration on the ESC side of things. Even if the board was reasonably priced, I can't see myself spending north of $200 on speed…"
"Guys we need to develop some dead reckoning stat :)"
"This is cool stuff but i'll wait till consumer grade tech comes out."
"Sounds like you have your channels mixed up to me."
"I like the way they implemented battery swapping, but my only qualm is that the drone seems to power down completely during the swap. I think it would be neat if you had an intermediate power source that powered the drone while the battery was being…"
"I had a similar problem once upon a time, make sure your motor connections are correct (pin 1 on APM correspond to motor 1 on quad, etc.)"
"This is really cool, but I have one question: can you command other formations of the drones currently instead of the 7-drone hexagonal formations that you displayed here?"
Hello all,My name is Mamoon and I am a high school student down in Florida. I am in charge of my schools little unit of drones which we use for various school event (soccer games, pep rallies etc.) and until now we have been using a GoPro to get our…
"I think it would be cool if someone found a way to integrate a fiber Bragg grating sensor into the airframe and somehow incorporate that into the APM code. I don't imagine it would be terribly difficult (aside from the costs involved), and could…"
"Last day, so I figured I'd give it another shot. Didn't like my old design very much so I figured I'd tone it down a bit (iffy on the whole visibility thing though). This is my second entry, so if that's against the rules, feel free to disqualify…"
