"I have 2 questions for you:
1. Have you programmed your ID0/ID1/ID2 (3 POS Switch) for your APM modes? (Stabilize, Auto, and Manual)
2. What is coming from the Back of your TX, and what looks like, mounting to the front?"
ModeratorDarren replied to Adam Rivera's discussion Camera Stabilization (Tilt) w/ infinite servos (360)
"I have a 360 modded servo setup that uses the guts from two servos, one is used for the motor/gears the other is used for the potentiometer. they are geared together so I get 720degrees out of standard servo signals. its not really that hard,…"

"I dont know the electronic specifics, but I have an RVOSD gen4 that uses either 1 or two batteries (via jumper setting).
The selection is to either use one battery to power the rvosd board, or both the primary and backup batteries; auto selected via…"
ModeratorDarren commented on Gareth Rens's blog post Custom Prop spinner for Turnigy G10 810kv motor (with threaded prop shaft)
"loose is all thats needed for a prop to spin on the hub.
but if your cutting your own threads, why not do both? is there something difficult about the cutting or am I missing something?"
ModeratorDarren commented on Gareth Rens's blog post Custom Prop spinner for Turnigy G10 810kv motor (with threaded prop shaft)
"I suggest cw and ccw thread versions; for the quads...
one thing I am quite disappointed with on my quad, I have to use lots of force to torque down the prop adapter not to come loose during flight.

"instead of crash subroutines, maybe post "un"-planned landing subroutines... :)"
ModeratorDarren commented on Jean-Louis Naudin's blog post ArduCopter in action: Testing the QuadCopter (HIL mode) on X-Plane v9
"I ve been thinking though... "while cs.alt < 75: Script.Sleep(50)" seems a bit generic, and with no error checking
How about something like a countdown self check list
(aka go no go pass at the systems... like nasa)

ModeratorDarren commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post Please welcome ArduPilotMega 2.0!
"Sorry to confuse, so I'll try to explain:
At this time; No servos, xbee's; or sonar are attached, and certianly No motors/esc's are either.
I use an old ar500 receiver for bench testing and HIL simulations.
So was simply looking for a…"

"Order#: 16262 placed on 12/01/2011. I've already got 2.1.0 alpha quad loaded and am testing on the bench. One thing I notice is I cant pull 5v from anywhere to power the RC receiver, without getting brownouts on the apm2. On APM1 I typically…"
