"Looks like I'm not out of the woods yet. Code linked about is for I2C MPU6050 but the ArduIMU V3 is SPI MPU6000.
Does anyone know where the latest and greatest code for this board is on the forum? Is it on the ArduPilot Google Code page or is…"

I just realized I needed the uBlox adapter board for my GPS so I had to pay S&H twice in one day. Not mad at anyone but myself on this one but I want to make sure I have everything I need now: I…Continue

Gerry Lichter commented on Chris Anderson's blog post OpenROV in the New York Times"IMU/AHRS/INS data is used in AUVs although waterproofing cameras and thrusters is what normally stalls ROV projects.
My go-to waterproof camera is epoxy and a dive light. The video output and power hull penetration is a path of ingress for water.
I…"

Gerry Lichter replied to Hai Tran's discussion Water proof multicopter"Hi Dara,
A fellow waterproofer :)
I've looked in to "PlastiDip" and have used it to some success on electical wiring. I'm a little bit convervative on what I apply that type of coating to because the solvents it contains are…"
Gerry Lichter replied to Hai Tran's discussion Water proof multicopter"It's been my intention to make an amphibious quadcopter for a long time. Unfortunately, I'm lazy so what follows are my waterproofing tricks.
As mentioned, BLDCs are essentially waterproof already, with the bearings being surprisingly…"

""The CE mark does not require an expensive certification process as it is a "self certification" process " ???
You are naive, Sir. You could as well claim there is no problem with lawyer's salaries because after all you can…"
Dwgsparky replied to Gerry Lichter's discussion Is ardupilot military/commercial grade?"Hi Darryl
I am not an expert on APM, mission planner or open source material. I understand from other posts that it is acceptable to do just that, buy, build a UAV and sell it as long as the credit is given to the source.
This is no different to…"
Darryl Jacobs replied to Gerry Lichter's discussion Is ardupilot military/commercial grade?"So, this brings up an interesting point. If I were to use APM2 as the basis for a commercial product, what requirements, licensing, waivers etc do I need to follow in order to resell the APM, Mission Planner etc to a customer?
I am not talking about…"
Dwgsparky replied to Gerry Lichter's discussion Is ardupilot military/commercial grade?"I am not saying that a product should not be certified, My point was that the CE mark ONLY applies to Europe. The CE mark does not require an expensive certification process as it is a "self certification" process with certain…"

"@David" It does not certify or prove that the device works!!"
And who claims it does or should? You are simply changing topic. Commercial product is commercial product: norms, regulations, some of them fairly realistic and worth…"
Dwgsparky replied to Gerry Lichter's discussion Is ardupilot military/commercial grade?"Hi
CE is a simple Self Certification that comfirms ELECTRICAL (not electronic) safety that is not applicable to APM2. It simply tells purchasers that the SELLER has a technical file available for inspection WITHIN europe. it is not relevant in the…"

"Commercial grade is defined by terms on which you can sell a product. There are norms for electronic appliances of all kinds."

""It's sold ready to fly"
How then it is different from ammunition by US export laws? it was the whole point of having a kit..."
"I think it's fair to say that even APM2 is not a military or commercial grade autopilot, but that it would make a great basis for a military or commerical civilian UAV.
One of the things you'd have to do to make is so would be to…"
ModeratorChris Anderson replied to Gerry Lichter's discussion Is ardupilot military/commercial grade?
"Kryz: I think your information is seriously out of date or you have not actually used ArduPilot, since virtually every fact in your comment is wrong. ArduPilot (APM 2) is not a kit. It's sold ready to fly, and is one of the least complicated…"
ModeratorKrzysztof Bosak replied to Gerry Lichter's discussion Is ardupilot military/commercial grade?
"Technically speaking ARDUPILOT is DIY kit but produced without any sort of formalised QA testing about its most pronounced functionality, being the autopilot.
In short it is very complicated kit that works, that doesn't fit classification of a…"
