Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Paparazzi UAV airframe file and I2C programming

[David Carlson]

1) Check out the extremely long RCgroups paparazzi thread.  Somebody 
posted a slow-stick airframe file, almost exactly like what you describe.

2) No experience with this.

3) As far as I understand it, nearly every ESC takes a PWM command to 
control throttle, which is identical to servo control.  No need to 
change anything.
