"There isn't the issue of Xbee's becoming corrupted with the APM?"
"Thanks Chris. Do you think I should put a switch in there somehow so that I can choose to have the serial going via the FTDI, or via the other device?
Or can I just wire straight onto it, and ignore the FTDI chip is there (I won't plug a USB cable…"

"Hi,
I have a ArduPilot Mega board and the IMU, all soldered together and working.
How do I use the 4th serial port?
I have looked in all the documentation, it is confusing: port numbers are mixed up, schematics are very difficult to follow. As I…"

"Strange. I clicked on the link, and it was 17%, and then when I clicked on a few links and came back again, it dropped to 30%.

"Can you try sending a full length 72 byte packet?
(I.E. "hello" with 67 spaces at the end?)
That will force the xbee to send a packet."

"I prefer red. It suits the Ardupilot Mega board much better.
Hein, the new shield doesn't contain a magnetometer onboard.
You can see the details here: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/ardupilot-mega-updates-updates"

"Any news on when the board will be released?"
"The board itself isn't actually dimensionally smaller...
The advantages are not only the capability to attach more servo's, but that there is a more powerful processor on board, and a heap more I/O (especially 4 serial ports, so you can dedicate…"

"I assume the lateral control is done by changing the pitch of the wing during part of the rotation, and then putting it back during the other half, so there is more lift on one side, thus resulting in the monocopter tilting, which makes the…"
"Hi,
What is the estimated price for the IMU shield?
I have read (http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A1425...) that it was going to be about $139. Is there a more recent estimated price?

"I would use a CMUcam3.
See:

It's got an onboard processor that is capable of image recognition features (with camera resolution of 352x288 at 26 frames per second), and communicates via a serial port (which the ardupilot mega…"
