roger commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post APM to CHDK Camera Link Tutorial
"Can this setup be implemented with the APM1? I tried figuring out which is the A9 in the APM board but not sure where it is :) Thanks."

roger commented on Chris Anderson's blog post APM Mission Planner now has voice and datalogging!
"Any way to decrease the interval between voice prompting interval ... currently its 30 seconds, is there a way to make it 20s or 10s or any values for that matter? Thanks."

roger replied to Kevin Hester's discussion 3DR telemetry schematics?
"Kevin,
I'm trying to interface the 3dr ground module with bluetooth. Looking at the schematics you attached focusing specifically at BLM15HD102SN1,can you confirm if the Rx and Tx coming out of that chip is 3.3v and therefore if I'm connecting them…"

roger replied to Seth's discussion another Android GCS
"Seth,
I'll get it then. One more question, the arducopter will send telemetry to the ground using the air module and will be received by the ground module and then the signal will be transmitted by bluetooth to the android and to your application.…"

I want to get the JY-MCU Arduino Bluetooth Wireless Serial Post module from deal extreme but it will take sometime to arrive so want to get a similar product. Do you think HC-05…"

roger commented on Matt Gunn's blog post How to trigger a Canon camera through an RC transmitter
"Matt,
Is there a way to turn on a canon camera via chdk? I mean with all the dust circulating around at take off, camera should be off, when in the air, I want to turn it on, then after that use your instruction to take images, when about to land,…"

roger commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Arducopter Hexa 3DR Frame Now on Pre-Order!
"Jeff,
Thanks for the reply.
I do have the old frame! My all up weight right now is 2kg and flying for 5 minutes with a 5000mah 3s battery. After everything cools down the battery voltage is around 11.3v.
So keeping the 12" prop and 880kv motors and…"

roger commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Arducopter Hexa 3DR Frame Now on Pre-Order!
"Jeff,
The 3kg+ all up weight is very enticing ... the propeller you used on the 880kv motor test involved an 11x47 apc prop ... However, I have stock up on the 12x47 so the question is, do you have an opinion on the impact of using the 12 propeller…"

"I have been plotting altitude and voltage the past week using excel. It takes me 20 to 25 minutes to process tlog exported as csv. If you have a faster way, I would love to know your solution and perhaps share the code (especially if its a macro…"

Hi!In Mission Planner, one can load do "Tlog > kml or Graph", then if you go to "Graph Log", there will be a bunch of variables to choose from after selecting a particular Tlog. If I chose roll, then the Mavlink Log Graph will update with the…

Hi I'd like to use the APM1 to log the tilting in the x and y axis of a moving vehicle (not the arducopter). I'd like to do this without attaching a receiver to it and not use the transmitter radio as well. However, I will be connecting the GPS, but…

roger commented on Alpo Hassinen's blog post How I made a CHDK-launcher to Canon camera
"Mike have you by any chance finished "fast intervalometer" modified to start taking pictures after a delay and shutting off the camera before the plane lands? Mind sharing a link to the script. Thanks.

Hi! I have a bit of a loud noise when I start-up my hexa and upon examination looks like the outer barrel of the 880kv motor may have moved up creating a slack with the internal part of the motor.Not sure if I'm making sense but if you push down the…

Does it mean if I have 3s battery that I need to put in only three resistors?If I solder in all four supplied resistors, will it not affect the voltage reading of the APM?Thanks for any insights :)

I got a minimosd and the instruction found at the wiki shows the use of an independent battery to power both the camera and video/audio transmitter.Question: Can I use the main battery powering the arducopter to provide juice to the camera and…
