"Often wondered if anyone is working with this, http://pewa.panasonic.com/components/built-in-sensors/infrared-arra... Panasonics Grid-eye. "
"Several suppliers, rctimer for one, sell shafts with c clip slots at the end."
"Nice to see you publicly commit to Roberos project."
"Regarding SAR, I'm not sure if isn't a pipe dream. My goal was to build a quad reliable enough to do spotting. Fly well in wind, night or day. Not thinking thermal imaging, just low light cameras. Mainly used to get an above the trees view of…"
"How do you like the motors? I am using MT2814 710KV, they weigh 120g. I driven them at 5S generating 2500g thrust with 13x6.5 props! Ran smooth and absolutely cool. Occasionally, one of the motors rings when accelerated."
"Clean looking build. The motors are at different heights, do the props overlap?"
"Outrageous! Facebook of DIY."
"That's okay Ryan, I assumed the need for a Compufly.
Thanks fellows. I'll have to do some searching on PPM, don't understand how a uart can output ppm.

"@CrashingDutchman, thanks for the post mine arrived a couple days ago."
"Bravo, definitely a milestone!"
"I bought a few MT2814 motors to test.

They weigh in at around 100grams and with a 13*4 prop will stay cool at 1900 grams thrust. Very little vibration, and well built for the price. "
