" I would just like to add that my problem has been resolved. Diy Drones 3d Robotics store contacted me by phone! On my mobile down under here in Australia, Fantastic service. I RMA'd the device and upon receipt they have credited my account…"
I recenty bought an XtreamBee USB Adapter from the Diy Drones store. The board was working normally, then after having a problem that I just couldn't fix, I noticed The USB socket has come away from the board. The 4 solder pads that hold…
"Loss of signals from the reciever should put the APM in to return home mode? Shouldn't it Chris?

"Hey just wanted to say, is it the elliptical wing we are regarding as special or its the laminar flow wing. The spitfire etc was special i think because it had a laminar flow wing, if you look, the thickest part of the wing is actually about…"
"Yeh, it's for rapid prototyping. Not production. From design to flight. Check results and compare to prediction models. Then design again. Then print again."

Hi everybody. I would just like to help any others who are having trouble talking to the EM-406a GPS module. You can talk directly to it, even upgrade the firmware, with JUST AN ARDUINO BOARD an FTDI cable is NOT required. It's…

" I would think that if you could place either the main battery leads or one of the motor phases on an oscilliscope you could see if the voltage is spiking. A large voltage spike generated could possible cause a spark/crackle but it would have to…"
"Forgot to say use a fairly stiff o ring on the prop saver with quads as they use changes in torque for yaw control. "
"Just wanted to mention a technique I have been using for many years now. Saves your props a fair bit and often the motor shaft from bending. Usually if you just graze the prop on the ground, with a fixed prop adaptor you will break the prop. …"
"My 2 cents worth. On any receiver they way to tell the pins if they are unlabelled is that the signal
pins will be connected to individual tracks on the circuit board. The groind pins will all be tied together on one track. So too will be the power.…"

"I am using Prop savers with o-rings, as I found the prop adapters broke when I tightened them and the props break fairly easily and the two reverse pitch props are hard to source. BTW does anyone know the pitch and diameter of these props? I am…"
"I have just bought one of these from a mate. I also have a full Ardupilot mega with oilpan shield etc in the mail. I was going to put it on a spare nitro trainer (FPV and GOPRO) that I have, but i think I might wack it on this first so i can do…"
