Maybe at look at this project could be helpfull:
http://taulabs.org/index.html
and
https://github.com/TauLabs/TauLabs/wiki/Creating-a-FlyingF4-from-sc...

ThomasB commented on Max Levine's blog post Autoquad just got smaller :)

"@Brian+Victor
Don't take my last comment too serious ;)
I'm aware about the timeline of OpenPilot / Taulabs,Autoquad a.s.o.
I wrote this only to show up that there is other similar stuff out there.

I had a look at the crazyflie CPU and Sensorset. I fear that the OpenPilot Project copied the crazyflie project.. and that a lot of years ago! Identical sensors, and same cpu (at least in the first hardware versions, later they moved to the…"

ThomasB commented on Hunter Parris's blog post Relatively Inexpensive Thermal Imaging Gimbal M1D Micro

"@ChrisSome additional comments to RS485Using RS485 beside RX and TX you need a portpin for tranceive enable. RS232 is a point to point connection, RS485 is thought for multipoint communication."

Thanks for the "missing other projects" hint
I wasn't aware of this up to now. Interesting."

"Cool Project!
Do you have a website, or a link to your documentation?"

ThomasB commented on PX4's blog post PX4 Flight and Features Video (Introduction post #2)

"Yes, maybe it is not so easy to produce a video with a flying PX4
(just kidding ;)"

ThomasB commented on PX4's blog post PX4 Flight and Features Video (Introduction post #2)

"Would still like to see the video some day"

ThomasB commented on PX4's blog post Introducing the PX4 autopilot system

"If I'm right the pixhawk team is located in europe.
DIY Drones are located in the states. So if I want to order some boards, pixhawk will send them to california and from there back to europe. right?
Or in other words, will there be a direct europe…"

ThomasB commented on Bill Nesbitt's blog post AutoQuad FC fw v6.6
