I have noticed that the DJI E305 Tuned propulsion system has been discontinued by DJI.I currently use this system on my F450 build, works well.I am now working on a S500 frame based build, and wanted to get my hands on a new E305. But i noticed that…

Ryan commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Intel cancels Edison, Joule boards
"I was a dumb enough to get a Joule 570 kit, looked like the right balance for a companion computer, USB 3, 2 MIPI camera ports, Realsense native support.

Since my drone project requires vision processing, it seemed like the best choice at the time.…"

Ryan replied to Ryan's discussion Powering companion computer from same battery as motors.
"If I am running with a 4S LiPo, the 12v UBEC is enough to clean up the power (even the aforementioned voltage spike issue) for the Joule?

So I am working on developing a companion computer platform (used for vision based navigation and obstacle avoidance in indoor/outdoor environments) based on the Intel Joule,it's expansion board, R200 camera, and 2 MIPI cameras) for my new drone…

So I have come to own an Intel Realsense R200 RGBD sensor. My current quad build is using a RasPi 3 as a companion computer collaborating with a Pixhawk (along with a small Arduino for low level hardware control), for navigation and collision…

Ryan replied to Ryan's discussion Powering an onboard RaspPi 3, Pixahawk F450 Quad build
"Im a bit confused,

According to this:
http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-3dr-power-module.html

The battery connects to the Pixhawk Power Module (PM) and the PM is connected to the power distribution board (PDB).

Is this somehow different for…"

I am attempting to mount a Rasberry Pi 3 onto my F450 based frame Quadcopter, using a Pixhawk as the flight controller.Ive read on some forum an approach to powering the Pi on a such a build, would be to directly wire a 5V UBEC to the main LiPo.What…

Is it possible to use QGroundControl with a stock 3DR Solo?If so, how would one go about doing so?

Its has been hard to find a straight answer for this...One can't control a DJI Phantom 4 from an additional on-board computer?I went the DJI SDK page, downloaded the OnBoard SDK (just to take a look) and it looks like the SDK is only supports the…

Ryan replied to Ryan's discussion Fully Autonomous Quadrotor for indoor flight
"Any suggestions on a quadcopter that would be good for indoor use, has a payload that could support the TK1 and at least on kinect like sensor, and has an open enough api that I could control the copter at a low enough level to achieve highly…"
