"Anyone have a link to a simple interrupt driven sketch that reads one channel and prints out the value?"

"I'm trying to avoid using pulsein on my code for my stepper based antenna tracker.   Here is the link to where I am at if you are curious... http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1529524#post19715075
 
Anyhow I am trying the code above…"

"on the FET's... it looks like the IRFZ44N is good for up to 55V?  So going above 12V shouldn't be an issue?"

"Maybe 12V won't be enough for this long of a wire?"

"I can add the resistor to the collector path on T1.  I'll prototype it first.  Yes I will release the eagle files when I have something working.
 
For the 12V power supply for the hot wire...I am probable going to have at most 54" of hot wire.  How…"

"oh and obviously the neg side of the 12V supply will be connected to ground.  The connection to the left of the resistor is attached to an I/O pin on the atmega 48."

"Hi,
 
Nice work.  Is this the most current schematic?  I thought I read that you used two fets in parallel.  Anyhow if you can share another pic of the updated schematic I will create the eagle schematic and do a board layout.  I'll create the board…"

"I am thinking of using the ardupilot board for a 4 rotor or perhaps 3 rotor copter. (fixed pitch blades, direct drive brushless). I'd add 6DOF IMU or ir sensors, GPS and build custom code to drive it. I think the ardupilot should be fast enough.…"
