About Me:
Trying to build fully autonomous drones using Paparazzi and advancing the state of the art in that field.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

"This sounds very cool.
I may try this out for developing an autopilot in Java for my drone!
Please keep us updated on any progress you make. :)"

"I'm confused myself.
Last week they mentioned on the gumstix-mailing-list that they where to announce the
board on friday, then postponed it to monday.
Not thats 2 days ago and nothing except the preview is online still.

"As far as I know booz is a method of looping Paparazzi through flightgear as a simulation-environment.

for OpenStreetMap and jGnucashLib) so my…"

"You can find the (german) project-documentation on http://ccc-fr.de/index.php/Dronenbau .
I have a gumstix, 4-IR -board, 2-IR-board and a working airframe.
However I did not yet manage to solder the very tiny pitch of the I2C ADC I wanted to use.…"

"I'm trying to work with an ultrasonic sensor that speaks I2C.
This should be much smaller and even have more range
then the IR-system.
Pro: It is independent of light and reflection -properties
Con: ...ultrasonic and dogs. Works inly in one…"

"Now, an autopilot has more inputs then just GPS.
Is there a way to also get attitude and altitude-data
from MS-FlightSim to translate into fake-sensor-readings?"

"I have just seen a 4-wire servo.
The case was that the servo did not contain the electronics but that we have a single
board with receiver, servo-control and engine-control.
non-standard"

"What countries does their patent cover?"
"Cool, thanks for the code!
I'll try to use it to generate IR-sensor-readings for attitude-control and
and parse servo-data in return.
(Maybe make a script that used gpio-in and d2a + serial(for gps) to hook
it up physically to an autopilot.)"

"I added a note about your findings on the 5V vs 3V on the FMA-sensor to the talk-page in the paparazzi-wiki
and made a comment for it on the mailing-list. Maybe
they switched parts or something.

"I'm working with paparazzi.
The airborne was quite a step to learn but now it's working.
(I had to add not only a new airframe but a new build-target with different sensors.)
You can get it running on their arm7-based system, on…"

"Looks very US-centrin in the links.
For UAVs it is missing Paparazzi for fixed-wing and all the projects with quadcopter-designs that have come up."

"Looks much better.
Do you think it will be accurate enough for autonomous landing?
How quickly does the sensor react to changes in altitude, considering
the averaging required?"
