Hi Pirates of the Air!

Remember my Easter Eggs? I mentioned to present you a new project
soon, based on the new AC2 code, supporting a wider range of Flight
Controllers and Sensor Bobs.

The last 2 weeks were filled by heavy testing of Oleg's port. Now that
it looks pretty smooth we decided to go public and beta test the
code.

Oleg is still working to get a rock solid platform like the MW with
gyros only. We're getting nearer day by day...

But we also need your help:

- making more sensors work (like the ADXL345, the BMA020, BMA150, Wii
sensors, sonar sensors and GPS units)
- bench tests and test flights, attaching and enabling other sensors
one by one
- implementing support for Diamond Hexa, Bis and Octos
- testing autonomous flight patterns and other new features

I'd be very happy if more Pirates would join the gang and try to make
the best out of what we already got...

Thx in advance,

Norbert

Awesome!! I get busy for a few months and someone goes and does what I was going to do! I wish that would happen more often!
My brother has been bugging me to fix his wii sensored quad so if all goes well I'll add support for wii sensors shortly....

I've had all the parts sitting here to build a hex for the last few months, time to get my act together and make it fly.


Cheers,
Paul.

Many THX for your offer, Paul!

Since you already implemented the Wii sensors in the SS and NG code
you're the man for the job! ;)
