Looks promising.  I wonder if they will implement KiCAD's file format as well.

15 mph is a little more impressive than 5 mph :)

CheBuzz commented on Chris Anderson's blog post 'New product in the DIY Drones store: APM telemetry kit!'
Seems a bit shameful is my opinion, and I stand by it.  Saying something like "DIY Drones are ripping everybody off!" or "DIY Drones is charging exorbitant markups" without actually backing it up with facts would be…

Calm down.  I was actually responding to people who questioned Jack Crossfire's post on the first page.  Re-read my comment again putting emphasis on the "is".   I never said that DIY Drones can't charge whatever…

Oh yes, you are right.  I was looking at the extended range 2.4GHz Xbee Pro instead of the extended range 900MHz Xbee Pro.   A precursory BOM for each of the boards put them about $6.  This is for units of 1.  Things get a lot…

Wow.  This is close to or more than 100% markup.  Digi sell the modems for $29 each.  I can't imagine the boards and antenna costing more than $20.  Seems a bit shameful.

You are kidding about the OpenPilot having disappeard, right? Check out the forums or SVN. Development is extremely active and racing towards a v1.0 release. I don't know who you have been trying to contact, but I haven't seen you on the…

I didn't know that FAT was a resource hog. I would have guessed, since FAT16 was finalized in 1987, it should be rather trivial for modern microprocessors. I must confess that I have never done an in-depth analysis of resource usage (though…

Somebody asked if we could add the lens flare to the OP instruments. The general consensus was why try to artificially recreate something that reduces readability? I'm wondering what the rationale was for adding them to these instruments.

Adam, If you can hop on IRC, we can do some troubleshooting on your PPM encoder. I also know of a shop selling paparazzi equipment just about to open in AU where you could get a quick replacement. Otherwise, it's looking good and I look…

Nice post. Though most of it seems more like the current state of Arduino, rather than the future :)

A shield that I bought arrived with a damaged airspeed sensor. It took a little back and forth but they finally decided to send me a replacement. So I can't complain. Other experiences went as expected. I'm not sure I agree with the…
