"Hi Leonard,

I haven't seen any activity on this effort in a while.  Is there anything we can do with our tricopters to help with your efforts? 

On the tail wag issue I've seen two types on my tricopter - a slow wag which I would very much like to…"

"Hello Leonard,

First - thank you for looking to improve tricopter code.  I find keeping orientation much easier with my tricopter vs. a traditional quad.  So I fly the tricopter more than the quad.  I did wonder why the tricopter didn't seem to…"

"Hi Ben,

On my tricopter setup using the x8r receiver - I placed the receiver in Mode 4 by placing the provided jumpers between CH1&CH2, CH3&CH4 when binding per the manual.  Receiver mode 4 maps radio channels 9-16 to conventional channel outputs…"

"Randy,

Thank you for the clue regarding where to look.  I have my osd working again. 
Arducopter instructions state to use TELEM 2.   I was using TELEM 1 for the OSD.  When I upgraded software I went to default settings - I've been burned in the…"

"Hi Paul,
Thank you for the reply.  Are you also running R800 software on minimosd?  Of course I may be missing a setting in the pixhawk for the OSD to work correctly.  My serial port is set for mavlink output and 57600 baud rate.
Before 3.3 I did…"

"Hello,

I noticed my minimosd quit displaying data once I upgraded to 3.3 on my tricopter.  I'm running version R800 minimosd extra.  I'm assuming there is some incompatibility now.  Which version of software should I be using with the minimosd to…"

"Hi - I had this same issue with the 3DR 900mhz radio.  Depends on the servo whether or not the servo twitches due to the 900mhz 3DR radio some do - some don't. 
I found if I soldered a 33pf capacitor inside the servo between the incoming signal lead…"

"I started working with this last night.  I didn't add a filter and things seem to be working - this matches the current documentation that RSSI PWM can be read directly.  I'll test range today to ensure RSSI works properly. 
What did take me a few…"

"Hi Randy,

One minor issue I have every once in a while during power up of my Pixhawk is that either the 3DR radio or MinimOSD will not function.  I think it's one or the other not both at the same time - I can't remember seeing both not working. …"

"Thank you Randy for the response.

I did the Ctrl-F and nothing seemed to happen.

I logged into the console of the Pixhawk and figured out the syntax to change CIRCLE_RADIUS parameter directly.  When I go back to mission planner the new value does…"

"I was trying out circle mode and ROI for the first time with my tricopter.  My test was simply circling a tree.  I couldn't set the circle radius greater than 1500 using Mission Planner 1.3.10.  1500 was still a bit too close to make interesting…"

"You may want to upgrade the GPS if you haven't already.  That was the largest performance upgrade I did to my APM 2.0 board - disabling the on board Mediatek GPS and using the external ublox unit.  Huge performance difference for loiter on my…"

"I suppose a quick  way to accomplish what you are describing would be to simply add a relay to the positive lead of the circuit (based on the diagram link).  Ensure that the buzzer positive terminal bypasses the relay.  Relay could be driven by the…"

"Hi - I had my APM setup to do what you are describing.  I could flip a switch to either turn on or off a sting of LEDs using the ULN2008 driver.  I had an output tied to relay using channel 7 through the APM.  My setup was either on or off  - no…"
