  1. I ordered mine as well. Had to get the elite, don't know why. I think the soft bag is better, way less suspicious then walking around with a big pelican case with an antenna on it... :ph34r:

    I am waiting to see how really "un-brickable" it really is.

    Un-brickable? Challenge accepted!

    Why, because I am the better idiot you were warned about!

  2. This leaves you open to being yaggi'ed or someone jamming your drone. It's possible to use a plane, but you would really need a good antenna/amplifier to do anything, plus you would need a way to fly around the target thus generating alot of noise and being visible.

    Any copter formation is the ultimate form. If the pineapple could be powered by a smaller more efficient solar panel, then I'm positive it could be used as much as the drones motors/battery would last. If anybody can modify a solar-panel ontop of there quadro/hex/octo and see if you can generate enough electricity to prolong the pineapples/drones life.

    Mind you this would only be efficient in sunny locations, i.e. southern USA.

    I'm thinking 10-watt would be sufficient, I've seen some 10-watt dual(2) usb solar-panels on the market for under $100.

    What kind of fight times do you want?

    I am not to worried about jamming with a blimp, the autopilot/IMU is doing most of work. With a good IMU even spotty GPS is enough as long as you are in open air. As far as jamming what I am doing with a directional antenna I guess they could if they knew what the drone was doing in the first place but I wouldn't paint the side of the blimp with a pineapple or a sign thats reads "1337 W1F1 Hax0rz"

  3. Yea that leaves 1 channel of 2.4 you can't sniff. Unless your frequency hopping for controls, otherwise the best bet would be to find another spectrum. Such as 400mhz or 5.8ghz. Generally 5.8 is usualy used for a FPV drones video, as video is data intensive and 5.8 offers the fastest speed but lacks distance. If you've got some smarts in the radio area you can just amplify the 5.8 signal for longer range. As well as using a special set of antenna's.

    Directional antenna combined with an antenna tracker ground station combined with gps telemetry from the drone = incredible distance.

    How about a 3g modem on board?

    I want to play with drone blimps. Isn't stealth but you could loiter for longer periods of time(weather permitting) and have bigger payloads(depending on the size of your envelope).

  4. You would want something like this...

    http://store.diydrones.com/category_s/28.htm

    A Hexa would have enough lift and flight time for the pineapple. The nice thing is you would have have plenty of juice to run the pineapple from the onboard LiPro battery or batteries.

    Control wouldn't be a big deal if all you wanted to do was a survey or quick attack because with Arducoper you would just setup a flight path ahead of time and just launch it.

    You could get creative with 2 way telemetry and a camera. You would then be able to park it on a roof for an extended period of time, you would just have to make sure you had enough juice to have it fly home.

  5. The pineapple is running from a wall socket outputting around 12.4v so i figured power was not the problem however when I insert a usb storadge device (I have tried the sandisk cruzer fit 16GB formatting with ext4 and several others memory sticks with the same format ) but after the usb light illuminates all but the power lights go out and the device will not respond. Can anyone think of what i am doing wrong or any soloutions to this problems.

    Does the pineapple boot and detect it you insert the memory stick directly into the pineapple before applying power?

    What version 2.7?

    EDIT: Also can you post a copy of your fstab?

  6. It reads i13200. I am using that cable. I'd like to try to do some load tests on the pack to see if there is a minimum load it needs to stay on. I can charge my phone and tablet off of it easily, but they have a larger draw than the pineapple.

    I've tried charging and discharging the battery, but I get the same results when the pineapple is plugged into it, shuts off after about 20 seconds.

    Sorry, I do not have the same pack as you so maybe that is normal for that model. I would contact the hak shop.

  7. Productive evening. I replaced the IPX to RP-SMA cable in my pineapple and cut the red cord in the USB hub from the Hak5 shop. It worked perfectly but I now have another problem. If I run everything from the battery pack it works well. But if I run it from the power supply how do I supply power to the red USB cord. I thought maybe the power coming through the data cable might be looped into powering the red cable. It's in the photo. Think that will work? I'm afraid to plug it in.

    You do not want to loop the red power cable like that...

    You need to plug the red plug into a power source as well as the USB to DIN/barrel pineapple power cable into a power source as well.

    What I did is cut up two USB A female to A male cables and wired only the red and black wires together to make a Y-cable for power only. Just make sure the source has enough power/current to supply everything you plug in.

  8. Is there a tutorial on how to do that... I'm kinda bummed because I just bought the powered USB hub from the Hakshop and it is backfeeding power to the pineapple.

    I'm kind of curious if anyone has fed power to it via the barrel cable and plugged the powered hub in. Did it fry someones pineapple? I've read through a few post on the subject but didn't see that anywhere. Just advice not to do it...

    At first I thought I just might have a bad USB hub maybe something like a shorted diode however this is NOT the case. Both positive leads and both negative leads inside the black USB data connector and red USB power connector are soldered to their respective pads on the board. I am also interested in seeing what would happen if you powered a pineapple from the USB port and DIN connector at the same time... Anyone wanna try it? :(

    As far as thesugarat's question. As I mentioned on the host side of the hub you will see two red wires connecting to one point on the board and two black wires connected to another point on the board.

    What you want to do is find red wire that runs to the black USB connector and cut that wire. In the picture I have circled the wire I cut.

    I will cut the wire today and post pics and if it works tonight.

  10. Does it read i13200 or i3200?

    I think I have seen that issue before but I can not replicate it with what I have. I have two i3200 pineapple juice packs, two mkIVs and one mkIII and can not get the pack to turn off during the boot phase.

    If the juice pack is fully charged and it still does it I would say to have a defective unit.

    One more stupid question, how are you connecting the pineapple juice pack to the pineapple?

    Are you using this cable?

  11. I seem to be running into problems with usb hubs. I am looking for a good powered hub for the pineapple. I have tried 2 different powered hubs with little luck.

    I have tried the powered hub from the hak shop and after the power feed back issue I decided not to use it and I went out and bought a Belkin F4U038-APL 4 port powered hub and I am dropping my USB connection after a short time when using the AWUS036NHA.

    I know this sounds like a pretty simple question that a google search could answer but rather then wasting more time and money with trial and error I thought I would come here and ask what others are using.

    Thank You

  12. I am starting to see my USB connector on my mkIV get flaky. I was dropping the connection to my hub at first I thought it was my hub or software but after troubleshooting I noticed that if I bump the connector or wiggle the cable I lose USB connectivity.

    It is definitively cable specific some cables I have a hard time getting it to flake out and others it seems if i even touch the connector it drops.

    Has anyone else seen this?

  13. What kind of antenna are you using?

    I do not know anything about that amp but I know L-com makes units that run on voltages ranging anywhere from 9 to 12 volts DC.

    Just read up on the laws in your area if you get a high output amp. ;)

    Here is a link to a 12 volt pack...

    http://www.amazon.com/Bescor-Shoulder-Battery-Cigarette-Charger/dp/B0006IF9B6/ref=sr_1_57?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1350444381&sr=1-57

  14. I got one from them and had no issues with it. But ideally you shouldn't need it. Pineapples come pre-loaded from HakShop. The UART isn't required for owning a pineapple.

    I know, but it isn't a bad thing to have in your bag if a flash goes wrong or you decide to do something stupid after drinking to many attitude adjustments...

  15. You don't want to power the pineapple off this powered hub because it won't have enough power, give it it's own USB plug to your laptop and use a USB/DC barrel cable.

    That is the problem i am trying to stop. If I plug the red plug into the battery the black plug into the pineapple the pineapple powers up. I am trying to stop this from happening.
