Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Use of UAV's in Emergency Communications; I am a firm believer that "while a picture is worth a thousand words, a live video feed is priceless" when lives and property are at stake.

"Bret, I've been considering doing something like that for Field Day, but haven't gotten as far as completing the drone yet."
"@Doug,
I know of at least one project to build a homebrew RC controller, though it uses a 70 cm transmitter and receiver; perhaps we could find a way to build parallel transmission paths into a custom controller. Another option (what I will…"

"Nice to see Apple doing this; I suspected this would happen eventually, and it's nice to know that I wasn't far off."
"@Flavio
I think starting when it's an Alpha is the best time to start a wiki; this way we are starting with good information, with the understanding that it may change (and hopefully for the better) with newer releases of the firmware. Just this…"

"A friend of mine pointed me to the Hackaday link for this, and it's a nicely done hack for certain."
"I think the issue here is that the property owner feels that they have the right ti do whatever they want, within the law of course, and there is a general feeling among such people that laws banning this kind of thing could become laws banning…"
"A better option would be for Microsoft to remove this check entirely and go back to how it was in Windows 7; I know a lot of small hardware designers that can't afford to have their "drivers" certified (they are actually using Microsoft provided…"
"@Eric, that's what happens when typing on a touchscreen device; it should be fixed now.
@Asa, I had a chance several months ago to buy several 6 meter transmitters, but passed the deal up; I'm now kicking myself for that."

"I've attached a few images of my Rover before I start working on it, so folks can see the Traxxas Rustler Stadium Truck it started as.617177259_o.jpg617177266_o.jpg"
"Another "obstacle" that just occurred to me; what if the sensors dont see anything but the rover can't move forward due to something just tall enough that it can't climb it?"
"@Sentry I'd take 54MHz first, but then I have the license for that range; my second choice would be 72MHz, then any other band."
Hello group,As the title implies, my interest in UAVs and UGVs is motivated by a desire to use them in the early stages of disaster recovery operations, especially in areas that are potentially dangerous to people unfamiliar with the area. With that…
"@Thomas,
That's a good find; I was hoping that there was some kind of capability in the ArduRover code to do obstacle avoidance, but hadn't looked into the code yet. I guess I will be buying the MINDS-i kit so I can make use of this in my Rover.…"

"I'll agree; learn to fly it before doing anything like flying in a city. Even then, the person controlling it needs to be aware that it won't fly the same way in the urban canyons as it does in the country. We don't need people that don't know how…"
