I apologise if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find another thread about it using the search function, but is there a specific reason why fullscreen videos are not allowed on embedded…Continue

Jason Lyons commented on Ruwan's blog post Computing power on a multirotor."Gumstix, Beagleboard, Pandaboard, etc. are all great barebone boards and don't come with any bulky stuff, some even have built-in WiFi which can be handy if you don't need super long-range comms."
Jason Lyons commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Astounding new nanocopter: the Walkera QR Ladybird"Walkera have come a very long way. I remember my first Walkera RC Heli I bought on eBay.. $200 and pretty dodgy, but they've made massive strides improving their products since then."

Jason Lyons commented on Paul Mather's blog post Swinglet CAM""From my point of view, starting the motor while shaking the plane isnt very clever. How to stop it again? Do you have first start your computer and GCS, holding the plane with the other hand?"
The battery looks pretty easy to unplug."
Jason Lyons commented on Dean Lamborn's blog post Quadcopter . . . On The Moon!"I think you misunderstand the point of the ducted fans, while they won't work on the moon (there is no fluid atmosphere), they aren't supposed to.
The ducted fans are for the experimental vehicle on earth. They will run in order to…"

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm a final year Electrical Engineering / Computer Science student at Queensland University of Technology, who has always had an interest in how things work, electronics and artificial intelligence. I'm a member of the QUT UAV Outback Challenge 2010 team (SRUAV 2010). In my spare time I'm also working on turning my el cheapo RC Helicopter (a Chinese clone of the E-Sky Honey Bee Micro) into a fully functional UAV. I also enjoy soccer, snowboarding, surfing and the odd computer game.

Well, after playing more with the IMU, the roll gyro has stopped working! I performed a visual inspection of the breakout board, and didn't see any shorts or signs of arcing. I reworked all the solder joints, making sure none of them had come disconnected. Finally, I removed the gyro daughter board from the IMU and tested it on its own, still no luck. The self-test function also is not returning anything, so I think it's stuffed.

Goals and First Start

I thought I'd start out by outlining the goals of this project. Several years ago, I bought a remote control helicopter from Hong Kong, it's a Walkera Dragonfly fixed pitch helicopter (pretty much identical to the E-Sky Honey Bee Micro, or the Twister). It was pretty difficult to fly, and almost impossible if there was any wind. After I started getting into microcontrollers and control systems at uni (I'm now in the final year of an Elec engineering and Comp Science double degree), I started… Continue
