Roberto commented on Justas's blog post Predator by your own hands! Some help needed :)
"Hi Justas,

I had an RC predator from www.lindinger.at, it's 1600mm wingspan it's light, well done but very nervous model!!!
Forget 1kg of payload with this plane, my multiplex Easy Cub (1600mm wingspan) can lift with 500gr of payload.."

Roberto commented on Rory Paul's blog post Some Tracks and Video
"I have a question: all photos are taken at the same altitude? I try sometime to do something similar but my first problem was that photos are taken at different altitude (i used an helicopter).

Somebody know a software that work with gps data to…"

When you use FMA Co-Pilot CPD4 on a plane with 2 servos on wing (one for airelon) usually you must connect an Y cable to use correctly CPD4 stabilization.With this configuration you cant use the flaperon mix (it move the 2 wing servo to the same…

Roberto commented on Gagarien's blog post ART-TECH AUTO PILOT
"This product was selled last year (a lot of EU shop and ebay shop) but now it's hard to find.
I know people that use it, it's accurate but they say FMA CPD4 is better.

An alternative is Futaba Pilot PA-2, but it can work with sun low at the…"

Roberto commented on Michal B's blog post Increasing GPS device (EM 406a) baudrate
"So why dont insert on ardupilot a instruction to change the baudrate on startup?
On startup you can use 4800bps, send setup string to GPS and change Ardupilot bps to new value.
On next boot if GPS remember the fast bitrate the command run at 4800…"

"I'ts quite easy if you use an external Servo control board or relay (with pin levels).

Maybe you can add a field on waypoint array for action.."

Roberto commented on Roberto's blog post Burning Arduino Bootloader without external AVR-Writer
"Check on Arduino site, for example you can use an Arduino diecimila board (without ATMEGA chip) as FTDI cable for Arduino mini (or for what u want because u have just to use +5, GND, TX, RX and RESET)


cheers"

Hello,I write this post for who like me have an Arduino Mini USB Adapter and want to upload code (or burn bootloader) by ISP on ATMEGA168 or Attiny45.This is the connection schema from Mini USB (or any FTDI cable based on FT232RL chip, you can also…

"Look here:

Can i try to connect DTR pinout of second figure to DTR on ArduPilot?

ArduPilot code is compatible wirh Arduino studio v.8? I ask that because on previous release software reset is not used. I can try…"

"Hi Chris, thanks to the reply

There is a way to simulate reset line with my hardware?

I load the same code in the same way (i chenge board from diecimila to mini) on my arduino mini board and it work well (I use it for some test).

GPS not…"

I've some problem uploading arduino code.
This is my configuration:

Roberto commented on Roberto's blog post 3Ch plane, why not?
"well i think that with high wind i dont fly :D

what's a good 4ch alternative??

We can make a plane cassific for UAV.. 3ch and 4 ch based on personal experience!"
