"As the article and Robert said, we've submitted enhancements back to the APM codebase, spending lots of time working with Tridge and other maintainers to get the AP_HAL code into the APM trunk. We're proud to be an active part of the APM developer…"

"Make sure you have the APM project version of Arduino if you're using code based on the AP_HAL. The HAL depends on some changes to the Arduino IDE to work properly.
You can download the IDE for mac and windows here:…"

"If you want to send mavlink messages to guide arduplane to some position defined by your sensors, perhaps start with Mavproxy, a simple command line GCS. It is easy to extend Mavproxy with modules written in python. Look at the sample module for…"

"My slides from earlier are available:

And, I haven't watched it yet, but it appears there is a recording available here:

"I maidened my Techpod today. The kit was very high quality and went together great. Flew great too - much better than the 1.68m skywalker (most comparable plane I have experience with) in all aspects. My only complaint is too much flex in the wing.…"

"Hi Stefan,
I made a working prototype of this basic idea a few months ago, but I haven't had the time to maintain the code, and nobody else has picked it up. Are you interested in picking up where I left off?…"

"He's timing the IO and control loop using a Linux user space timer signal. It isn't hard real time but it is apparently good enough when the processor has enough spare cycles. PWM input and output use an external PIC microcontroller. Kudos to…"

"Congratulations Tridge! With all of your hard work on ArduPlane, this success is well deserved!"

"I've got many hundreds of dollars invested in FRSKY equipment, and I've recommended it to friends. Unless we can get a fix for this, I'll be looking for alternatives."

"I'm not sure why I had to double-tap on the screen twice to get that first waypoint to work, but occasionally the  double-tap detection does fail- its not perfect yet, and I hope we can improve it. I'm still learning JavaScript as I go along, so…"

"I'll be there."

"A friend and I built one last weekend out of 5mm coroplast. It is easy to build, but there's not much else desirable about it. One issue is that a single layer of coroplast will flex too much without any reinforcement, and if you use tape hinges for…"

"I'll be there, but I guess I'd better switch from focusing on ArduCopter to ArduPlane!"

"Great work Tridge!
Here's the counterpart ArduCopter code flying for the first time. I've also taken it out flying at the local park, and successfully used loiter mode, but this is the only video I have at the moment."
