    Tau Labs More stunning work from James, it won't seem like much but it is

    Lots more is beginning to be wrung out of the little CC board than we thought. The beauty of all the work being achieved is that it will all be handy for the main platform. Anyhow a more solid heading hold if you will for now. But the phrase to remember is Axis Lock, its to help the heli guys...

    Tau Labs Camera Stabilization

    Not merged yet but very soon. Some more great work from James with thanks also going to Reddog for helping him with some hardware. So this will take two outputs and use them for servos to compensate for roll and pitch. Probably a safe bet to say it will be in the next peoples GCS build.

    Tau Labs Playing simple camera stuff with my Hex

    I have been into Photosynths for a while and have made a quick one with a Canon Ixus 105/107 running CHDK and the standard script. This may or may not work as an embedded synth, I guess depending if you have silverlight installed or not. <iframe frameborder="0"...

    Tau Labs OpenPilot mainboard V Octo Flying

    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...

    Tau Labs Did we say CC flies aircraft as well??

    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!

    Hexa build

    Made a wooden frame on Monday with a view to flying a heavy super simple thing but then decided heck why not fast forward to a G10 version using the arm design from our TriCopter. So far so good, it came together well. My folks are coming to watch the Royal Wedding here and then we are going...

    Design considerations for control boards.

    Just for interest, I wonder what people would like their boards to be able to do and what the minimum is they expect them to be able to do. For me its just a stable hold both position and height. Anyhow I throw the floor open. If you ruled the world what would your board do?
