"...I was just thinking about the mega, and that I haven't heard about it in a while...."
I noticed this story on one of my newsfeeds. Looking into it, it looks like BOTH Ardupilot and Blimpduino were listed as "Make Online Open Source Hardware 2009" projects. Most notably, ArduPilot was listed first in the UAV subsection, with the…
"...Gotta ask. what program did you use for the movies?"
"amazing!"
"It could be done with three xy sensors..."
"They might be able to be on the same chip (sorry for the appendage) it would go well with a custom diydrones plane to have it built in.
Sorry for the posthumos addon...."
Sorry for the posthumos addon...."
"So, people talking about gyros got me thinking... Couldn't you have 2 sets of xyz sensors spaced at a known distance, same xyz orientation, and known positions, and yuse the average x/y/z to determine accel, and the difference to determine spin?…"
"I couldn't help but notice that when you mentioned the out of stock Z sensor, you said that you'd have them back mid june.
Could this mean that you guys are making your own version of the Z sensor?"

"Ever think of building frames for the planes just like you built the envelopes for the blimpduino? It might be slightly more complex, but it would greatly bring the price down..."
"pizza anyone?"
"Sometimes a poll would be great. (What would you like to have worked on first: a or b?)"
"No, the algorithm was scrapped because it was more memory intensive, but it was exact.
Here's the post that it was posted as "changed" at:

"Also... will there ever be a mode that allows the plane to takeoff/land by itself? (I know it's a ton of code + more sensors, but...)"
"A while ago, you changed the trig algorithm (I think that that was what it was...) to make it faster for the ardupilot to compute, but reduces the accuracy long range... Any chance that you would change back to the old algorithm now that there will…"
I don't think that this fits in this category (Ardupilot designs and kits), but I couldn't find a better one...Does anyone know of a place in Canada (or better, Toronto) that sells the kind of RC stuff that the Ardupilot needs? I've been looking…
