Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
My primarily UAV interest is FUN. I'd like help provide weather and wild life data over unmanned parts of our country. IE go all the places I could never go my self.

"Thanks for posting this. I have been working with Paul Gaasbeck - Operations Manager - Elgin, OK to gain access to R5601 in SW OK. You can fly there without a COA. I'd like to do some UAV multi plane formation flying and it's a little hard under…"
My next project will be a HexCopter with a PX4 for the flight controls and a Raspberry Pi running ROS for grater environment sensing. The idea is to, not just fly between waypoints but, avoid trees. I've selected the Raspberry Pi and ROS because…
"What about the 20A ESC that are supplied by 3DRobotics? All the load 760ma (I measured on my APM1.4) going through one ESC/BEC seemed like a load and fused the ground trace.
I've thought about creating another power lead from the power distribution…"

Searching Youtube I found this video. I wonder how many Arducopters are still in parts?
"Chris, this is your best talk yet. Perfect for the RC group. Take this talk and add more about building your own parts with 3D printers. (Maybe someone else did that talk at AMA.) But but the two together and you can explain the future to anyone. "
The best way to learn how to change the PID and other settings in ArduPilot is with a simulator. I've made a quick video to show how to setup Ardupilot with Mission Planner and X-Plane. When you get this working you can change the PID and other…
"I found the best way to test ESC is one at a time. http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/can-t-program-diy-drones-20a-esc?...
I had a problem where two ESC would arm but two wound not. This turned out to be because my ESCs where not calibrate- able.…"

"Oklahoma UAV Flyers"
I think it's time for a Documentation Tab on the main menu. Do we have a Documentation team?I'm an electronics Tech and RC hobbyist and I'm a little embarrassed to say it took me two years to build my 3D-Quad. I maid-ed it last weekend. Blogs are…
"I feel your frustration. After a year of building my quad, it DIED. No lights. (Yes I'm slow and mythological ) I was just read to fly it for the first time. After removing everything from the AP main board I powered it on and felt around. The…"
"I'm glad this is a hobby. I've had my ArduPilot 1 and QuadCoter for over a year and been fussing with this very thing the whole time. Of the four none of them go into program mode like the instructions said.
I've seen lots of people almost get…"

A new home for hackers and makers in Oklahoma City. The space has been cleaned and the walls have been painted. Soon the doors will open on a new makers space. OHM Space is an Oklahoma nonprofit corporation that seeks to create a safe, entertaining…
"This is great! More studding, more documenting."
I attended the first annual UAV airshow and was happy I did. I learned OSU aerospace design team has been winning the AIAA contest for so many years, they dropped out this year to start their own contest. They divided the students into two groups,…
