"It's hard to put a good quality ADC on the same chip as a high performance processor. I doubt you will find anything at performance level of the Gumstix's OMAP processor that has anything better than a 10 bit ADC. An external ADC is…"

Chris Kevorkian replied to Jacob Dickinson's discussion Gumstix Autopilot?"Ive looked at the Gumstix Overo for an autonomous submarine, but it seems to be limited by its input pins only recieve a 10 bit resolution, which to me means i only have a 1 m resolution which is not quite good enough.
There wouldnt be a to…"
Gregg "Cabe" Bond replied to Jacob Dickinson's discussion Gumstix Autopilot?"http://mbed.org/ might have a nice product for this with 6 Analog ins and 6 PWM outputs it might just have enough IO for a more powerful core AP module.

has some sample projects the code looks similar enough to…"
James Turner replied to Jacob Dickinson's discussion Gumstix Autopilot?"That's a great head start and I'm sure I will be able to work something out from this. Thanks very much."
Pbreed replied to Jacob Dickinson's discussion Gumstix Autopilot?"At Netburner we do things a bit differently than the freescale references....
We map the entire chip register set into a large structure 'sim' for easy access....
So the following code won't map directly to the freescale coldfire chip…"
James Turner replied to Jacob Dickinson's discussion Gumstix Autopilot?"cheers, I think what I'm really tried to find is some examples of how to use it. I had hoped to find some example for ADC, PWM and I2C on the net but there doesn't seem to be a lot around for the Coldfire but maybe I'm just not…"
Pbreed replied to Jacob Dickinson's discussion Gumstix Autopilot?"Netburners 5282 module has ADC libraries built into the board support package."
James Turner replied to Jacob Dickinson's discussion Gumstix Autopilot?"Have you got any ADC libraries for the Netburnerby any chance ? I eventually bought A dnp/5280 which is also coldfire based but I dnd't get the starter kit so no examples :("

EasyStar Project

I’m not going to be able to work on this project for awhile, so I thought I would post about it, partially so that I don’t forget the details myself : )
For those of you who don’t know, I’m currently working on a UAV based on a Multiplex EasyStar and an Arduino Diecimila. My main goal currently is to simply get it to fly from waypoint to waypoint, but in the distant future my goal is to extent flight time as long as possible. I’ve been working on the project for the past couple… Continue

As far i manage to conect my rc gear to a BS2 ic controler just controling the Roll acces from an accelerometer in auto comant and switching if i want in manual comant ...Its easy when using pulsin <> pulsout comants on BS2
What rc gear you have ?
