About Me:
Lead developer of ArduCopter. I coordinate releases, provide support for users having trouble with their copters, add new features (most often based on ideas and suggestions from the community). I also help others get their code integrated into ArduCopter. You can find numerous video tutorials from me here: https://www.youtube.com/user/rmackay9/videos facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArduPilot.org/ gitter: https://gitter.im/ArduPilot/ardupilot/
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Interested in quads and helis mostly. I got my start in this field by reading the electronics tutorials from Sparkfun and from watching the success of Jack Crossfire's vicacopter. I've learned an enormous amount from the combined wisdom of the people on the DIYDrones forums and members of the core dev team including Jason Short, Tridge, Doug Weibel, Leonard and many more.

"I don't spend time on DIYD anymore, normally I'm over on discuss or one of our other communication channels.
In any case, I wanted to let you know that Peter Barker and I have seen this and will look into it. I've raised an issue here."

"Best to join us over on discuss. Also best to give up on the AVR boards and move to something more advanced like a Pixhawk or NAVIO2 or something like that."
"maybe try this link? avrdude.conf
by the way, few of the ardupilot developers use diydrones anymore. better to look for us over on ardupilot.org. or in particular to post questions in the ardupilot forum."

"Carolina,
By the way, ArduPilot support is mostly done over in the ardupilot forums now and most developers don't spend much time on DIYDrones anymore.
I think the issue is likely a damaged Fram chip on the board (somewhat unlikely) or that the…"

"@BretC, yes it does (see wiki here). By the way, we've moved most ardupilot support over here to the ardupilot forums and I don't think you'll see most of the core ArduPilot developers here much anymore The servers are a little slow but they'll be…"
"As a side note, I think it's best to move ardupilot support over to the ardupilot.org support forums."
"Hi there. Most support for ardupilot is being done over in the support forums I think although no guarantees of a response. http://discuss.ardupilot.org/
I think the easiest path to happiness probably involves getting a more powerful flight…"

"GregH,
There have been many changes for sure including some in MAVLink. Perhaps it was the addition of MAVLink2? Or perhaps some messages were replaced by others? If it's MAVLink2, I think only -rc6 has it as the default protocol, -rc7 (coming…"

"Great that you got help here. I just wanted to point out as well that ArduPilot has setup a new support forum here: http://discuss.ardupilot.org/c/arducopter. I don't personally spend much time on DIYDrones anymore."
"Miwa-san, awesome! I posted over in the ArduPilot facebook page, hope that's ok. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArduPilot.org/"
"Ali,
Thanks for using ardupilot!

"In an interesting turn, a pull-request has come in for the LeddarOne. I think it's a new effort, separate from what Anton has done above. Not sure if I'm being cheeky or not but maybe Anton could look over this PR? It's perhaps a bit of a shame…"
