Hi all, I had a rough landing in wet grass (would call it a crash but no visible damage), and when I got to the quad the ESCs were beeping. Shortly after I was able to take off, but no yaw control…Continue

Bart commented on Ellison Chan's blog post Good Hobby CNC Machine"I recently got a Probotix Fireball V90. It'll do the carbon fiber / delrin easily enough.
Aluminum I hear might be possible at slow rates, but not recommended. Its not a bad price."
Bart commented on Hai Tran's blog post Drone creates an eye in the sky"I'm familiar with the 400ft rules in north america, nice to see they are consistent :)
No argument about the cowboy/commercial comment giving a bad rep, that indeed is a problem, as is the crashing in populated areas, regardless of commercial…"

Of course I realize that you did not proof read the article, but I should imagine the quotes are yours, as well as some of the background "facts" ("unique", drone is different from others due to eight roters etc. I imagine…"
Bart commented on Hai Tran's blog post Drone creates an eye in the sky"Its interesting that up to about a month ago (you posted April 26 about getting certification), you would have been "just some hobbyist flying a model aircraft over someone's backyard".
Don't get me wrong, its great the…"

Thurmond Moore commented on Bart's blog post Copter-GCS: Android ground station for ArduCopter"Man, I would love to just plug my new 3DR 915mHz radio into my Android Pad and go to the field with full functionality including the option of replacing my Transmitter functionality for the most part. Kind of AR Drones Genius big brother."
Bart replied to Donald R. Poole, Jr.'s discussion Arducopter v2.5.3 MAVLink Version"What are the plans with the mission planner? Will it support both, or switching entirely?
I will likely match the path taken with the mission planner with copter-gcs.
Thanks,
Bart."
Andke commented on Bart's blog post Copter-GCS: Android ground station for ArduCopter"Who's using MAVLink 1.0 ? - APM planner + default firmware uses 0.9 ?"
Bart commented on Bart's blog post Copter-GCS: Android ground station for ArduCopter"Yup :) Just got back the word that the new code is working (my copter is using the 1280 board).
Check the downloads section for version 9, which is running MAVLink 1.0
Cheers,
Bart"

"Hi Bart, any further news on this?"
Bart replied to Andrew Boos's discussion Mavlink Basics"What he means is that the MAVLink protocol is specified using a file, which states message ids and fields /sizes for each packet. The generator takes that specification, and generates code for it.
For me, it was much easier to leave the c++ code…"
Bart replied to Andrew Boos's discussion Mavlink Basics"It may not help much, but I wrote a mavLink wrapper for android phones. Looking at that stripped down code might give you the insight you need to do the same on iphones

Bart commented on Bart's blog post Copter-GCS: Android ground station for ArduCopter"I'm working this week on getting MAVLink1.0 support included, as that switch was recently made apparently. Still looking into it.
For the rest, I certainly intend to improve the code this summer (its winter here atm, and -16....), as I have…"

Quadcopter FPV in the Canadian North.

After a few rough landings (cough crashes) and subsequent repairs, I got the feel for flying FPV. Canadian thanksgiving was this weekend, and there were still some nice colours in the trees. Just thought i'd share.

At long last, I finally beat MAVLink into Java submission. I wasn't able to find any MAVLink bindings for Java (needed by android), so I ended up using JNI and wrote a MAVLink wrapper. It works nicely and makes using MAVLink very easy. Its available for download…
