Samuel Mi commented on Marco Robustini's blog post How to recover any multirotor "out of VLOS" using only the "self level" flight mode
"@Macro
I'm very curious that how high it will go with frsky transmitter and receiver ( I mean, its range)??"

Samuel Mi commented on Xrotors.net's blog post XRotors 280 size with folding arm quadcopter design.
"nice work.

It looks like almost every part can be 3d-printed for your drone.  and 3d-printing is very interesting. so, what is 3d-printer you have been using? but, how much crash-resistant it can be?"

"@Hugues
Given that I have two lipo battery packs for quadcopters individually, tattu 6S 10,000mAh 25C and tattu 6S 22,000mAh 25C, then what power modules should be chosen to power t-motor mn5208 motor with max. constant current 35A? To my knowledge,…"

"@patrick
Thank you for your explanation on disadvantages of integrating BBBmini into BBB as a single PCB.
And also, you have already been playing around with ErleBrain combining BBB with PXF. But, ErleBrain 2 has an integrated solution which…"

Samuel Mi replied to Samuel Mi's discussion Custom wifi in solo is used for control, telemetry, and video streaming? in 3DR SOLO
"@Bill according to your description, this means actually between solo and remote controller there is only a way of communication, custom wifi. then, i was digging myself into this part via google. and then i found out some interesting articles…"

Samuel Mi posted a discussion in 3DR SOLO
Hi,As far as I can know, to make control, telemetry, and video streaming work well, you have to set up three different ways of communication between drone and remote controller.According to what described here [1], however, it looks like only a way…

Samuel Mi commented on Linus's blog post DIY Linux autopilot - cool for cats... and geeks
"Nice work, Linus.
I really would like to the cape (BBBmini) you design for BBB. However, I prefer to integrate BBBmini with BBB as a single PCB, instead of with two independent PCBs out there. So, for the idea, what about your opinion?"

Samuel Mi commented on Carlos's blog post Erle-Brain 2, the newest Linux autopilot from Erle Robotics
"@Patrick
You're totally right on explanation of Pixhawk Fire Cape. That's not really something similar to Pixhawk with cpu stm32f4, which has the ability to run the whole flight stack on it. But, as you told me, Pixhawk Fire Cape really can't.…"

As far as I can know, Erle-Brain is a drone platform based on Pixhawk and BBB, where Pixhawk is responsible for flight, while BBB for advanced applications. Let's say, vision processing. After it, however, Erle starts providing a…"

"nice work.

looks like you guys are providing a new form factor for Drones integrating FC (Flight Controller) with CC (Companion Computer), in the meantime, bringing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology, like computer vision processing.
plus,…"

"@ben,
like you guess, your blog site has totally been blocked from great firewall of China. so, maybe, you can manage your blog on github.com. that's really very simple."

"@Benlooks interesting. but, seems like i can't have access to that link (http://dalybulge.blogspot.co.uk/) to your blog. so, here's some questions to your project as described around here:1> what drone is used to get mapping on the air?2> how does…"
