I'm having similar problems with the servo as well. It only spins in one direction and isn't responsive to changes in altitude. The only time it moves is on start up and when I practically tilt it upside down. Does the same with different…

Hi. I relatively new to all this.(under grad @ University of Louisiana at Lafayette) Is it possible to use Xbee with the board that comes with BlimpDuino? If not, what must I add to it to enable some form of wireless communication? The Idea is for…
