Ralph S. commented on AVS's blog post A complete Arduino development system for Visual Studio 2008 and 2010
"Hi,
Looking at the source code of ArduCopter, I see there are some extra files (e.g., ".project") suggesting the development is project is done with Eclipse. So my question would be:
1) How to setup Eclipse as the Arduino-IDE?
2) How does the…"

"Very cute! These motor mounts look great - any hints on how these mounts were made?"

"It might be interesting to identify a lightweight, small, ubunto-enabled board to install on the UAV. This way any high level computations (e.g. SLAM) could be done onboard and the UAV could gain a lot of autonomy. (I'm just looking into doing this…"

"Hi Jose Julio,
hopefully there is some advice for me: my rebuild of your design worked very well. However - probably of some extra weight - it is very hard to keep the copter on a specific altitude. All the time it goes up or down (like +/- 50 cm)…"

Tasmanien devil - and how I did the exorcism.
 
This the the procedure I used:
1) Put all motors upright
2) Load the software posted at the beginning of this thread
3) Startup the ArduCopter and switch to acrobatic mode
4) Slowly increase throttle…"

"Hi Jose Julio,
this weekend I was able to finish my TinyArducopter and can report that your design worked for me very well - thank you! I would have two questions:
a) I think I would like to try different setting of the PID-control algorithms - do…"

"Thank you for all the responses: Up to now I understand that right now only Jose's code is working with exactly this design.
Also, I assume that counter rotating pairs of props do compensate for yaw by design (However, if you want the quad to turn…"

"@Jani
Thank you - do you by any chance know if that code also works considering the orientation of the IMU on Jose's copter?

"Hi Jose Julio,
This is a great design - thank you for sharing. After a month of waiting now all parts have arrived and I will try to assemble it over the holidays.One question though: There have been some software updates like…"
