"David,

Good idea to make it private.

Seems I am the only one using FB and twitter :)

Redemptioner, I think you and I may be a good team, as we seem to be the opposites. I am new to remote controls and electronics, but have about 28 years of…"

"Hi Jean, 
I am from Brisbane, I am working on a fixed wing drone, I am interested in long stable flights - and using it as a base for cameras (air photos) - and eventually looking at using this to monitor water pipes. 
I am also interested in…"

Stephen Kelly commented on Chris Anderson's blog post 3D Robotics announces VC funding, expansion plans!
"Shouldn't "the community" decides who 'runs' the site - rather than having it dictated to us. Chris, I know you started this community, but your own priorities have now changed to be more focussed on 3DR and at some point in the future there is a…"

"@toby, I think the DIYDrones site should also list and discuss all amateur UAV projects (and potentially have an independant shop as well), the 'aim' of this site is

"You can power the APM board from the computer USB, but you will not be able to power your motors / esc from the board or computer there is not enough power supplied to them.
you will need to attach a battery if you want to test your motors (don't…"

"Chris,
I would like to see a more detailed answer to the questions raised here by Brent. I am a relatively new user here, and as a new user was under the [wrong] impression that 3DR was a not for profit company, run by this community since that was…"

"Solved, 
http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/arduino-debugging-tips

I had the 1280 board set instead of the 2560 board selected (point 2 on the above page). 

It is pretty easy to remove the autopilot software from the APM2 hardware and use it as a…"

Stephen Kelly replied to Sakar's discussion Goddamnit.
"If you have plugged motor 1 into motor 3 slot and its not working - it sounds like the motors had it. Can you set up a simpler setup without the apm board battery / esc  / receiver / motor - to just test that the motor works ? If that motor is…"
