About Me:
I love aviation and technology. By day I am a technology consultant and software developer. I have a private pilots license and am building a kit plane (Vans RV-7A). I also enjoy doing Christmas Light Shows and this year as on ABC's The Great Christmas Light Fight for a display I did using a Raspberry Pi.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am interested in Autonomous flight. I love Aviation and have flown R/C Helicopters and I have a pilots license. I also enjoy Microcontrollers, Single Board Computers (Raspberry Pi), and electronics. I am interested in Open Source solutions.

Has anyone heard of using the DJI Datalink 900mhz radio to link up to a 3DR (or RFD 900) radio on the vehicle?I cannot figure out the settings for the DJI (net id, etc) and am not able to connect to it on the COM port through mission planners config…
"With as many drone companies that advertise doing power line inspections I am surprised there is not more out there that I can find on this issue..."
Has anyone flown live power transmission wires? I have a potential job doing just that. The wires are energized at 138k volts. I was told that there is risk of interference from these lines affecting the control of the drone, does anyone know the…
Just wanted to share my situation with professional business users considering purchasing DJI...Less than three months ago I invested over $15k in a fully loaded spreading wing series setup with supporting ground equipment. 45 days ago I purchased…
I just bought the RCTimer ASP 3-Axis NEX-GH5 gimbal and the motors have three wire solder points but they are not marked as to which one is the signal. Do I wire the signal on the right or left side?This is the gimbal:…
"Is the code you wrote that does the retry to connect to the camera 5 times in 5 seconds part of the Mavproxy code?"
"Jaime, do you have instructions on how to set up what you created somewhere? and can you use an oDroid instead?"
"What kind of brushless gimbals would work with the QX1?"
"Pixhawk"
I am having two issues related to Auto Takeoff. Is anyone else having these or know how to fix them?1. After I release the plane it turns to the north as it climbs instead of climbing straight out in the direction I armed/released it.2. Once it…
Every time I run an Accel Calibration I am getting this error. I have googled it and found nothing. I am using Mission Planner 1.3.31 and ArduPlane v3.3.0.Anyone know what causes this?Thanks,Matt
"Manny, did you ever accomplish this? How proficient are you with the MSP430?"
"I think I understand the frame options and I would use a Pixhawk, the only thing I am still confused about is what Gimbal to use for non-DJI frames. The Zenmuse seems to be the predominant gimbal but only works with DJI. So that is why I am…"
"Todd, you are exactly the person I am looking for. What Gimbal did you use and how did you connect it to the Pixhawk? or did you leave it completely independent and controlled from a second transmitter? It would be nice to use mission planner to do…"
"No, I said GH4, not Go Pro 4. heh. The GH4 is a Panasonic camera. "
"Is the X8+ really comparable to the S900? I see that the payload weight of the X8+ is 800g but the S900 is 5kg. That seems like they are two totally different classes.
Also, it does not look like either of those Gimbals would work for the GH4, do…"
