"@Graham: Sweet, I didn't know this feature existed already!"

"Avoiding collisions like that couldn't be handled easily by using the telemetry link. Planes should broadcast their GPS location. Then every plane around should try to keep a distance of at least 10m between every other plane.

To avoid problems…"

"Chris: Here is what Boeing had to say about your inquiry: https://www.youtube.com/comment?lc=ol_7WwRl_jpXACbgEayx8LoAlTrb37Hyl...

"Thanks for the question. The Phantom Eye lands like a glider on a skid plate and nose gear. No landing gear means less…"

"Gosh, that's awesome then!"

"Hai Tran: It doesn't depend on an IMU. There are dots on the drone and IR cameras around. Precise position and angle is then sent to the quad.

Well, they should have tuned their platform a lot too."

"Are you trying to get a position from the accelerometers ?

Well, there a google conference about that and it doesn't work at all. The problem is that to get the position out of the acceleration, you need to double integrate the accelerations.…"

"Chris: I was only reacting to Ryan's link. Using hydrogen as a storage vector is cool but I guess it doesn't really work for small UAV right?"

"Ryan: 11Wh won't get you far, also, they say nothing about the discharge rate :s Not sure the tech is here yet."

"@Ritchie: Don't forget Transatlantic's Whirlwind at the beginning! Gosh, I love this song!"

"Oh, kuddos to Microchip!
 
Not sure I understand this paragraph, but I don't know this device so I guess it is normal.
 
When on the field, I guess no-one will ever have a public IP or be able to do source-nat (port fowarding). That's why I was…"

"Tom: Awesome! Good luck for implementing a full network stack, this isn't something one can develop in a matter of days. TCP will be a pain in the ass if you want to deal with the window and all the ack system. Are you sure there is enough RAM for…"

"That's cool. I'm waiting for something more realistic like being able to send new waypoints to the ardupilot from the internet and have telemetry accessible through the internet!
That would allow virtually any cellphone to control and get telemetry…"

"QGroundControl is really sweet! Keep the good work up!"

"Very good talk! Thanks for the link Chris!"

"Hugo: Interesting. Anyway, an arduino will always be needed to command and get information from the actuators."

"Well, using smartphones as GUI interfaces, data storage, long-range communication (3G, texts) and computation power (image recognition) for robots is cool. But I doubt the built-in IMU and the accelerometers are accurate-enough for robot…"
