QuadcopterAmraam

Some time ago I had a hobby more related to my nick, modelrockets. I made a few and launched a few, all low power. Then I started to make a payload with a height meter that sends the height and max height live to a ground station. Made with 2 arduino's, a Duemilanove for the groundstation and a smaller one (the JeeNode) in the rocket. The Jeenode has a little transmitter, but that was too slow for the speed of a modelrocket, so I use XBee's as tranceivers.

Information on that project can be found here : https://code.google.com/p/rocket-telemetry/

Long story short, I quit making and launching modelrockets and threw/gave the rocket stuff away except for the height module (and a camera module).

Now my goal is to use these payloads with a quadcopter. My version will be made so that is supports the payload segment, suspended below the quadcopter.
