Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Been flying model's since childhood, now programing u-controllers and designing electronics. Putting the two together to have even more fun.

"Oooops, my bad guys. This tiny implementation not to mention single ended signaling means the rate figures above are bits / sec not bytes / sec. In terms of actual bytes per second that's 25k bytes per second and 100k bytes per second, in comparison…"
Is there any interest in a much higher bandwidth serial data logger ? The initial plan is two versions, both about the size of Sparkfun's OpenLOG that will do what it does but actually log at ~250k bytes / sec while the other will do ~1m bytes /…
"one small bit of advice - systems are always only as good as the worst part in them, so before worrying about anything else i'd find some servo's with the precision your looking for and then build a slop free mount with the center of mass at the…"
"Its coming Ben, we have figured out all the details on exactly how to do it and even had boards laid out but then we changed the main video out amp (1W) so it has to be laid out again. The board on the plane will have the option to do OSD…"
"Moving the CG will neither increase nor decrease the aircraft's lifting capacity, it may make the airplane more pleasant to fly. The only things that can affect its steady state lifting capacity are 1) motor power, 2) airfoil shape(s), 3) lifting…"
"should be ok, just don't try to load it up with to many extras."
"that's exactly how old (pre-PCM) receivers work. one note, you can't get 10 servos with a steady frame rate unless all the pulse length's just happened to add up to 20mSec exactly, the normal thing to do is not use the first channel and hold the…"
"Microchip has had this for a couple years now - but the arduino crowd will like it."
"The problem isnt going to be in the sensors but what the software was meant to do. Its meant to "see" you rolling the phone while standing, not a flying vehicle at up to 100+ mph or even constantly moving at ~30 mph. That is a world of difference in…"
"From that last command you can see it has the correct location for the executable files but incorrect location for the library. I think you will need to check all the include directory entries in the tools setup and in the project so they point to…"
"if you have the air speed sensor why are you estimating it ?"
"very interesting but can you put more details, like wing area etc. little bit worried that your recommending a motor for 900~1400g glider with a stated max weight of 2000g. be good to know what the max prop size is too. how stiff are the control…"
"there would also be the small issue of getting the liquid hydrogen to put in them. did i mention that stuff is coooooooooold :D"
"This can't help us with flight power but as backup electrical power on medium size UAS's its going to earn a spot. They will need to lose the fans to be taken seriously but really that's not that hard to deal with."
