I'm just building a Quadrotor
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I'm interestet in multirotor UAV, especially Quadrotors.

"I still don't get it why it's illegal to fly next to a statue, I mean come on, if a 5 pound styrofoam block could hurt it, it wouldn't survive a storm."
"Hugues: APM with 3DRadio -> 3DRadio on the ground which is connected to wifi -> phone
Bill: will the Fighting Walrus Radio be supported? http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fighting-walrus-radio"

"is there a way to change the timescale of the graph? 1s is pretty short for long term data like battery voltage and current.
I like the new version :)"

"Camera control would be a great feature.
One person flying on RC and the second person could control the camera gimbal."

"still no update on this? i have one of these adaptors, will it work with APM2.5?
I assume if it would they would still be available..."

"Hey Colin,
I gathered all the files I found, they are uploaded right here.
It uses the GLCDSS library from savitch (arduino forums) for easy 3D rotating. It is contained in my uploaded file because one can't find it anymore.
Hopefully my files can…"

"I once wrote a code for a graphical groundstation (back when Arducopter was still in alpha stage, without Mavlink)
I never got to add Mavlink support. What it has, is a rough 3D model of a copter, showing the orientation of it in mid-flight, got…"

"Richie: that's not the point here, there are arduino shields that can do voice recognition:

"You could save a Quad with one motor/prob breaking down, it would spin like hell, but still stable and safe for landing"
"connect it to the APM planner and check if all settings are correct, you most likely will have the erase the eeprom and restore to factory settings and then go from there, do you remeber the working PID settings?"
"Ric: maybe you accidently deactivated GPS with 3G? on my iphone, it does not matter if 3G is activated or not, position accuracy is exactly the same"
"well.. in iphone uses wifi for that
don't trust me? go into a building, deactivate wifi and search your location, it will ba very weak, now activate wifi -> you will get ~2m precision if there are a few wifi spots around ;)"

"you would get better results with smaller "LOW ESR" caps, which are designed to have very fast charge and discharge rates (for filtering out noise)"
"well, 2.5W on a quad is a very small consuption (you take about 150W to hover)"
"as you see in the video, there is no battery dropped from the drone ;)
and they mein parallel for parallel, not for selective battery switching, that means the lipos are hardwired which menas that all batteries drain at the same time, no empty…"

"no, that adds way too much mass to the autopilot, it needs to be able to follow the movement of the frame"
