About Me:
Worked on the Mavgoose at University of Wisconsin - Madison, Like to play with flying toys and the like. I grew up in a family of crop dusters and still help with projects for the family. but I am haveing fun (if you call it that) learning that the FAA doesn't seam to like open source hardware and code that is updated every 2-3 months.

I can see where small swarms of drones could be used but I think this is still some time out. For a hive type system you would need a drone that can leave the hive, Fly a half a mile out scout the location it is going to. Then apply the…"

"I think the field of avation needs alot of advancments before a drone can be able to start to replace crop dusters like the Thrush or AirTractor. There are helicopter drones but the have a very low coverage rate per hour. Also Helicopters are…"

"I can see the use for agricultural surveillance but I don't see this getting into NAAA http://www.agaviation.org/ any time soon. the payloads and department of AG restrictions I see holding this back for quite some time."

Arduino 1.0 release preview… if you want to check it out! From Adafruit.com It is almost here I hope. The I2C looks to be working after you edit your code, or at least in my short test.

This is a cool video and writeup I found on Adafruit.com:Here's the Adafruit writeup:"A micro camera is installed onboard an r/c plane F-16. The camera transmit live the video to ground and I wear video goggle to fly the plane in real time like if…
