Yes, that would be pretty easy. You could simply wire IR sensors directly to an arduino mini or ardupilot and output PWM to a pair of servos to move the camera on a gimbal.

Jean, My airframe has the stock brushed motors and ESC. I gave it a test flight and it fly's fine. Brushless will make a huge difference in performance no doubt. Are brushless motors/esc required to run ardupilot? What brand name/size motors and…

Toby - It looks like you have a pretty stable shot and nice perspective. Is it difficult to mount the camera and does the camera have any image stabilization built into to it? We fly the flip on an easy star and we are first adding a co-pilot and t…

This is the first wearable 1080p HD video camera. At 123 grams it's a little heavy, but the video quality is amazing! I shot this footage over Santa Monica Pier with my Brushless EasyStar. No autopilot on board this time :( Just a camera test -Toby

Hi Jean-Louis, ok, did that. Now, I have a ublox GPS, so I updated the //1-7to 2 for Ublox. I want to use GPS emulater to see the movements of the plane. Do I change the protocol to 3 for GPSEmulator? will it still find my ublox? how does this work?…
