"RCJunkie - Pixhawk has i2c connectivity, perhaps an i2c relay board would do the trick: https://shop.controleverything.com/products/2-channel-relay-control...
sorry for late reply"

"Hey Igor, Drotek is a France based company that only make top quality components and respond to inquiries after sale. I purchased a GPS module from them a few years ago and the offered good support. The GPS its self was perfect too."
"That build looks good, mine is almost done but I've been working at a new job that's quite involving so I put my hobbies aside. When I come here and see these beautiful projects, I miss my own...Here's my girl waiting on the bench for some…"
"The GPS that comes with the PH2.1 includes highly visible FC status leds. Otherwise any I2C based status LED module for Pixhawk will work. You can get those anywhere they sell accessories for the Pixhawk/PH2.1 though make sure you choose something…"
"I don't think you should put your life in the hands of 4 of these. I don't know much about motorcycles but I do know quite a bit about servos and I would not trust my life on a hobby servo; and then multiply that by 4..."
"Ok and did you figure out how to transmit the power from the engine to your props?
Also, by 'massive servo' I mean some actuator that can move all four blades under load through their full range of pitch in say 200ms and than do it again over and…"

"actually, a modified VW 2.0L TDI diesel could probably fill this role... I admire your tenacity and workmanship Those propeller hubs are quite sexy. You are absolutely right about learning by experience. I have never tried a project of that scope so…"
"OK I had to do the math on power requirements...The most basic calc that can be used (at least I believe) Would be the classic mechanics calculation for accelerating a body.Pt=1/2 * mv^2 P: Power in Watts --- > this is what we needt: Time of…"
"There are NO drone controller suitable or safe for human use... This said, Arducopter (firmware that runs on the pixhawk) can be personalized to add just about any function you need such as IC engine management as long as you are willing to write…"
"yah, same here, been super busy in the last months."
"So did this suit your needs? Ken McNamara said:
That's a great suggestion. At $20 I'm going to order one. Looks like it takes a while to get here - maybe I'll be ready to work out plugging it in by then."

"I make any cable I need and the smaller ones are tedious; after some practice and with a good quality crimping tool like the one mentioned previously, its not so bad. Once the pin is held in the pliers, its easy. The hard part is positioning it…"
"I use the Engineer PA-09 crimping tool for all my needs: https://www.amazon.ca/Engineer-PA-09-Micro-Connector-Crimpers/dp/B0... also make another model for bigger pins: the PA-20"
Ken McNamara sent a message inquiring about what GPS to use with your new Pixhawk 2.1: I believe this is a great subject for a new discussion. Right now, I believe there is only the "HERE" GPS that is available as a "plug-and-play" solution for the…
"Hi there and welcome aboard, feel free to share your PH2.1 experience. iSkyMaster said:
I purchased one recently. Let me play around with it and we can share things together."

"My Mauch 100Amp power module plugged in port 1 was indicating Amps in the 1000's with FW 3.8.0beta5... DougB said:
Simon,
Since the Pixhawk 2.1 mini power brick only handles 30amps I hooked a Mauch 100a power module on the power input 1 for the…"
