"Hi Visual Micro
Only a small hint: your Visual Micro link is missing an 'r'
means: http://www.visualmico.com/  should be changed to http://www.visualmicro.com/   :)"

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."

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
"Seems that Bill has set a new reference in the quad flight control development. 
Some weeks ago I read in the Mikrokopter forum that Holger and Ingo don't want do switch to an other CPU,
so they will have not the capability to keep up with the new…"

"Whow, had a look at the code... great work.
The modified CoOS implementation with FPU supports is really interesting."

"I just read that the X8 has a valid payload between 1000-2000 g. Whow!
What's the flight time of such a big bird ?"

ThomasB commented on CrashingDutchman's blog post MPU-9150 – world’s first 9-axis motion tracking device
"Why vaporware? I've a MPU6000 lying on my desk, so it seems to exist.
Regarding to closed source: you can access the sensor data of gyro and acc directly and make your own sensor fusion  :)"

ThomasB commented on CrashingDutchman's blog post MPU-9150 – world’s first 9-axis motion tracking device
"The bad thing: 9150 has only I2C support. A MPU9100 with SPI support seems not to be planned.
(That's a pitty, because it's pin compatible to the MPU6000, so.. easy to upgrade)
The 3.3 V are no problem, t's the same voltage the MPU6000 on the APM2…"

So you're going to business now with it ? (seems not to be Open Source)
Anyway, good luck with it  :)"

ThomasB commented on crystal garris's blog post Maplepilot : beginnings
"@Monroe
I don't think that the speed of the present available ESC is really a bottleneck,
The only wrong thing is the low pass filter in the software. With reflashing them (e.g. with SimonK Software),
you can tune up their speed.
Anyway, a 32 bit…"
