Hi Chris,
Technically you only need four channels from your R/C receiver to control the a rover with an APM. Two sticks (or variable controls) and two switches (or discrete controls) one switch is a two position switch used to perform…"

"@Alex, Most of the animals that i need to get out to the garden are pretty skidish. They run off at the slightest sign of something moving that they don't understand. Crows fly over, they run. The neighbors dog barks, they run. My other neighbor…"

Hi Thomas,
This may be something we move to the discussion forum but I wanted to know what you considered a Build Log? Generally I've been going with Chris's guidelines of; forums are for question and blogs are for announcements. I wondering…"

If you have a couple of questions go ahead an post them. Not to put you off though but there are many examples of using PWM on the Arduino site as well the samples and Library examples that come with the Arduino IDE.

"I was wondering about the Development Environment too. I haven't dug in deep but I didn't see Eclipse or Gcc in the top level docs. Some of the folks mentioned like Keil or IAR can cost big bucks for a full development system.

"The APMs have four serial channels, but all four might be used depending on what features you add:
On the APM2.5:
serial CH0: Starts as the boot loader but it's attached to a mux it might be usable once you download code.
serial CH1: is allocated…"

"I just received the Email about Lynxmotion also. On his forum, Jim explained it's mostly due to health issues with him and his wife. RoboShop will probably keep the existing product line going. It'll be interesting to see if they add any new…"
"@Jim I'll be using a uBlog I just received from 3DR, as well as their mag compass. The sonars are Devantech SRF05s and the infrared rangers are GP2Y0A21s. The garden is a 3x4 array of raised beds. The bed walls are high enough that I don't have to…"

"A list of what if's to think about:
What if your rover encounters a?:
Cliff, tree, curb, picnic table, steep grade, animal, another rover, heavy grass, steam bank, water, etc."
Yep, got most of that covered. The GPS and the mag compass…"

"Hi Chris,
This kind of reflects Sgt Ric's Post on the BEC. A few months ago when I discovered this site I went looking for the term in the glossary but didn't find it where I was expecting it. I think it warrants its own entry in the glossary. Just…"
