The mission planner is only for windows but as you can see in the manual linked above there are numerous other options for a GCS. Again please…"
ModeratorZach Bayne replied to Chris Reinhardt's discussion IMU shield repair advice needed
"It depends on your skills, from the sound of it I would say you should give it a shot on repairing, make sure all the test work out on the bench and just be cautious if you ever fly with it. But almost always worth the shot"
ModeratorZach Bayne replied to Felix's discussion Wireless Video problems
"Im a fan of the V antenna with low pass filter. Range video sells both of those. I get a pretty good reception at distance. Im planning on getting a patch antenna on the ground side too."
ModeratorZach Bayne replied to Tom Judkowiak's discussion Video on APM planner
"I do this too. you can find some video capture usb cards online for cheap and then just tell the planner what usb device to use.

ModeratorZach Bayne replied to Chad P's discussion Best Way to Mount APM2
"I use 3 nylon screws onto my case, although that is taped onto the airframe with double sided tape. kinda the best of both worlds. imho
--edit
My apologies that is for a APM1 but should work in any case"
ModeratorZach Bayne replied to Carl Lipo's discussion Triggering Camera through USB
"I would just use the onboard relay. I use it to control power to my video transmitter. With out looking up the details on your setup I assume you could do something similar."
Patrick L commented on Zach Bayne's blog post SparkFun Free Day!"Captchas must be nearly unreadable, otherwise a machine is going to do a better job than a human.
Anyway, I was waiting for an install to finish (you know, too short to do something productive but too long not to do something unproductive) and…"
OlivierD. commented on Zach Bayne's blog post SparkFun Free Day!"For sure, it`s still a cool thing to do, it`s just this captcha thing was no fun and the work hours thing does not help. I hope the format will be different next year. No matter, SF still rocks."
ModeratorSgt Ric commented on Zach Bayne's blog post SparkFun Free Day!
"I spent 45 minutes getting frustrated at "Captcha"...probably have to see the eye doctor because of the strain!
Still, it was fun. (didn't get anything, but I tried)
Maybe next year I'll get my six yr old daughter to help me with…"
ModeratorJack Crossfire commented on Zach Bayne's blog post SparkFun Free Day!
"The amount given away rose by $8000 in the 20 minutes I played. The best captcha readers probably don't speak english."
ModeratorZach Bayne commented on Zach Bayne's blog post SparkFun Free Day!
"can't complain too much, after all it is free money. though I did not like the luck aspect, last year I could at least get something. This year it was a few too many frustrating hours for nothing. Still a cool thing for a company to do."
OlivierD. commented on Zach Bayne's blog post SparkFun Free Day!"It was pretty lame, and it`s during work hours so I could only try during lunch. No much spark, not much fun!

Dave commented on Zach Bayne's blog post SparkFun Free Day!"Yeah... the current "Captcha" system many people use is so frustratingly unreadable. Most of the time, if a site uses that Captcha system, I take the exit and won't even register."
DeveloperR_Lefebvre commented on Zach Bayne's blog post SparkFun Free Day!
"I didn't try this out, but I feel your pain. I'm getting tired with some of these tests that I can barely make out. The ones on Filesonic are terrible!"
Nick commented on Zach Bayne's blog post SparkFun Free Day!"Unfortunately I had to give up, I couldn't stand typeing things I cold barely read. I'll try next year."

"For all things about amateur Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)"
Sometimes I have noticed that a lot of people (ok fine, me) make the same mistakes over and over again, Most of these questions do not need there own forum post to be reposted over and over again. So I propose a irc channel where veterans of diydrones can idle and walk people through some of the easier tasks. So I would like to invite anyone who would like to join me… Continue
