Nuts about electronics and micros. Nuts about the "Space Program". Love the idea of UAV projects. Hope to get one running soon!
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

"Is there somewhere I can sign up for an email? i.e. when ArduIMU v3 is ready for order? I have been working with v1 and v2 boards.."
"I've been using the Ardupilot with Arduino 0018 version code. This allows you to use attach more than 2 servos using servo.attach and writeMicroseconds commands. I've tested it with 3 outputs but 4 should work fine.
I also modified the IMU to…"

"Not a big expert but I'm testing a few bits and pieces.
I use the Range Video stuff and it works fairly well. I still use XBEE telemetry because, even with the OSD, you can get out of range quite easily.
I also send up a Sony MHS-PM1 (bloggie).…"

Getting some nice results for aerial photography/video with a glider and a Sony HD pocket camera.LINKNow want to add stabilization with gyro-controlled servos.Then "poing" > the idea to use ArduIMU as the stabilization mechanism.Has anyone out there…

"Could this be a D13/D11 thing?"
"This kind of solution seems to make little sense here in North America but in the developing world or war torn countries it may not be a bad fit.
Yes, it's easy to envision cell phone or even satellite comms as the appropriate tech - mind you, I…"

"This is nice. The old 2.6 Autolaunch would drift depending on your tuning.
Lemme get this straight - you are keeping roll@0, pitch@whatever and course@ launch value until you attain the required height?"

Looking forward to more great news"

"Hey Jason,
Does this mean I can get 4 channel control from the original Ardupilot board? I'll need to solder a few more jumpers then?"

"I now have a stable copy of the Ardupilot Groundstation written in Processing. It reads in waypoints and home location from text files created using the Config Tool. It will then display a map in XY and Z in relation to waypoints with landing assist…"
"The (free) Sirfdemo program can also put the EM406 back into "factory fresh" mode - 4800, NMEA. I used this to get my arduIMU running with the EM406 after I had used it [the GPS] a few times in other projects. And yes, I too found that the IMU code…"

This is my favorite - The PNP version is pretty reasonable and they seem to be a short drive away. If you crash, the guts alone are worth the $ and you could re-use them in another foamy.

"@Nathaniel
Have you considered using a "disposable" el-cheapo platform for your initial testing? Not sure what is available in your area.."
