"I have a problem where it isn't consistently recognizing RC mode. The code looks to be averaging "channel 1" position, but it seems to be an int timer which counts clock interupts, and since the running average only has to get to 1, it should detect…"

"I'm thinking that using 4 of these sensors rather than the ir detectors would make for some interesting behavior. I would probably need to tweak the code for the slower readout rate."

"I hope you'll excuse all the questions. I'm somewhat new at this. The 300mAh 2S lipoly packs I can find in local hobby stores aren't balanced, but I'm not sure how much difference it really makes.

Should I hold out for the online pack and charger,…"

"What about the voltage? Will the switching regulator on the board handle 11 or 14 volts? will the motor controller?"

"The pack you mention is on backorder everywhere I look. Would this battery be an acceptable substitute? it's slightly heavier (22g vs 19.5g for the other one) but otherwise has similar characteristics, though the form factor is somewhat different.…"

"Just to clarify, until the blimpduino code is loaded using the FTDI cable, the RC mode will not work with the code that is loaded at the "factory". Is that correct?"

"What would happen if you tried to use this outdoors? I have carpeting in most of my house, and have been considering using this outside with it ballasted slightly negative, so that I'm sure it will come down."
