@Johann, like Michael wrote, yes you can connect MinimOSD in // on the telemetry port. I'm working on a FPV168 with all the good stuff from DIY amazing team. This is my schema so far...

@Vaeddyn: Though you can upload the hex with an ISP programmer, the interface is based on serial for everything else. It means you still need a serial adapter to load/save layouts on EEPROM, update the CharSet, etc.

@Burt: the battery_remaining data on MAVLink0.9 goes from 0 to 1000. The data will not show up right unless APM sends you the right value. We disabled it because we found some issues. Like I said is a work in progress there.

This is awesome.  Wanted to check, I have a couple different ISPs (AVR_ISP2.0 from a KKmulti rig, an Atmel ISP, and an Adafruit TinyISP).  Is it possible to use any of these to program the MinimOSD or do I need yet another cable?…

The only way to program them is FTDI either 3.3 volts or 5 volts! both works fine (right Sandro?)  I was thinking on giving an option on the store to load for the customer the latest version when ordered... Do you think it's a good…

Nice frames: "TwinQuadCopter" and "ButterflyCopter"

Posted on August 3, 2011 at 7:00pm 1 Comment

 

 

There are some nice new approaches on frame construction out there.



This Korean guy found a nice way to get more thrust and it has also a good open space in front.

Looks interesting to fly with cameras. I enjoy the idea. Sounds good. Don't you think?

 

There is also this other one "ButterflyCopter" with same idea but... 10 motors!!!

Here we can see how nice is the result of a camera…

Fala Sandro, tudo bem?
Legal ver um brazuca por aqui, ainda mais envolvido com um dos projetos.
Eu conheço o DIYDrones há algum tempo. Também comecei a brincar com o Arducopter antes dele integrar ao DIYDrones, mas não terminei de construir o meu modelo.
Queria trocar umas ideias com você sobre OSH, Arducopter e o DIYDrones. Tem um GTalk ou algo do tipo?

Ola Sandro,
visitando a pag do fahpah encontrei dois kits a venda (o segundo $ 499 e o terceiro $ 579) pelo que entendi a diferenca entre eles era somente que os componentes ja vinham soldados e testados, e os programas gravados em cd, seria somente isso?
Sera que vamos ter um representante aqui no Brasil ???

Good morning. As everyone knows, the spots and DIYdrones forum should be posted in English. We also all know that due to the variety of subjects is complicated participate in blogs and help those in need. As I'm assembling more than a year my autopilot, having faced all sorts of problems, I propose creating a more direct channel of communication between members of DIYDRONES in Brazil. So, please consult the other Brazilians on how this tool would be interested and if we have. grateful for the collaboration

Hi Sandro, how are you? Congratulations to your effort on diydrones comunnity!

I would like to present with you the weblink of a project I having with my fellows. The project is called Team Abequar,A Brazilian team we are building a platform to be used in the next UAV Outback Challenge - Search&Rescue. We already passed Delivery 1 and we are doing  tests for the next delivery. As a core autopilot and flight termination we are using APMs. Please visit our page www.abequar.net.br. There you will see about Abequar and Super Abequar too.

kind regards,

Omar
