There are several versions of the Pro board flying, a name I hate BTW really think we should have a naming competition. We have been rubbish at naming these boards so far! That is the bigger brother of the CC, it has native GPS, compass and baro. Anyhow Sambas has flown a V octa, still to be...

I keep telling you Pip back in your box and keep working (Pip has created another ground breaking bit, and is a core developer across the OpenPilot range of cool things) You meant almost like this one Pip

That bloke Warthox seems to live in perfect weather land. The default settings might be a bit stiff for people with experience but it has been demonstrated and tested that they fly Tri,Quad and Hex. It was a difficult balance deciding what to make those settings better something rather than...

Did any one mention the vibration technology rolled out for platform testing by the OpenPilot project? Cutting edge stuff.... I had one but I kept chipping my teeth.

http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/Doc/CopterControl+Hardware+Manual I think we say 8.5 YMMV ;-)

You must be moving something though or how will you manage pitch or perhaps roll depending on how the blades are? Or am I being thick.

All this talk of Hexas and Quads, what about the humble Tri Then playing around bored, but with the mainboard,GPS and AHRS fitted way back in the day, before Christmas.

Ross, the OpenPilot mainboard supports Octos out the box but is coming soon... It has flown and is being ever developed. You will see that things like magic waypoint are working and a few other bits and bobs. There is no hurry in the project as we get stuff out right. CopterControl is our...

Are you still waffling on... The GCS ground control station, will allow you to track your board if you hook a up a GPS and XBee or change PIDs whilst airborne. Perhaps in the future a bit of control over the platform as well. Although thats really the preserve of CC's big brother the...

Stop chatting and get the flipping GCS working Dave ;-)

Nice one, your brave flying under those powerlines

Thanks Ross, he needs to put the nose down a bit in the stabilization but early days.

Ho ho thats brave and will be a first!!! Above my pay grade so I think its best to ask over at the IRC http://forums.openpilot.org/ Oh and once you have it working, please write the wiki entry ;-)

Early days, I have flown a wing with it and one of the developers Corvus has started working on GPS nav for aircraft first. I'm going to stop filling this forum with new threads now!

Hi Kilby I don't have that fruit based thing, but I thought I heard another Mac version was being compiled earlier today. There is a version here, http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/BUILDS/Pre-Release+OpenPilot+Builds if you know how to compile stuff you might want to do that to get the very...

Aye, actually Aye Aye (have 2) Remember you don't actually need the hardware to start playing with the software, you can even watch an aircraft flying around in a flight sim if your confuser is swift enough. http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/BUILDS/Pre-Release+OpenPilot+Builds

You might have had more than one coffee by now, yes thats flipping cool!

This is what I have been waiting to see I'm a happy bunny now Thread here http://forums.openpilot.org/topic/4762-gcs-on-hand-held-linux-hardware-with-7-lcd/ I will shrink the image and add it here. Then there is this as well of course...

You mean live PID tuning whilst connected to the GCS.... (You will need a friend to help with that)

Well we are adding one, its already designed just got to figure out the cost. Any NMEA GPS will talk to CC. Someone is busy on the navigation software as well. We are far behind with our paperwork though so please bear with the wiki!! Everyone is too busy having fun.
