"Yes, I was using it with a HK generic USB telemetry transmitter. However, it had to be separately powered using a rechargeable USB battery/flashlight and adapter cable. The battery and transmitter were plugged into the cable and then the cable into…"

"Nicholas - Yes it does have a GPS and no, I haven't tried "follow me". My primary use for the drone is aerial panoramic landscape photography so the Venue is mounted to the transmitter with a bracket. "

"ian,
Make sure you are in the "Administrator" account when you do the MP upgrade. You may also need to turn off your virus checker when upgrading to the MP Beta release, others have problems with it. See this…"

"I upgraded my Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet yesterday from 8.1 to 10. After overcoming an issue with the upgrade process (screen went dark and tablet froze after hitting the 100% mark requiring a forced reboot) it seemed to go well. When I launched…"

"Michael,
Thanks. I was able to update two Win 7 pro computers to without Norton saying anything. However, on the Win 8.1 tablet it's a different story. I uninstalled MP to get a clean start, then did a new install from planner.ardupilot.com this…"

"The same thing happened to me last night when I tried to update MP to the latest Beta release. It found that baseclassesnet.dll was a “Trojan.Gen.2 with “High” severity. In addition to deleting the dll it marked…"

"I just tried installing the latest MP beta update on a Win 8.1 tablet. Norton identified one of the install files as a Trojan and blocked it, then deleted all the MP files. Is this a real problem or has Norton run amok?"

Both missions were nominal (takeoff, mission execution, and landing)
3.3 rc4 generated the…"

"Seeing the Ch. 7 PWM change to 1900 means everything in the Pixhawk is set up correctly, that's good. But it could still be a problem with the 3.3 volt output. Try connecting the Turnigy switch directly to the output of a radio receiver powered with…"

"I think you are missing the ground wire between the BEC and the - pin on the Pixhawk. See this: http://www.flyingeyes.ca/turnigy-receiver-controlled-switch-wiring/

The Pixhawk only has a 3.3 volt output on the signal wire. I couldn't find the…"

"Phill,
Have you read through this thread: http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/simonk-firmware-motor-sync-proble...
I briefly thought I would try low KV motors for my build but found that the KV800's worked for many other people on the 680 so I didn't…"

"Yep, true. You might want to qualify your "neither work with Pixhawk" claim above to reflect what you really mean."

"I've been using Afro 30 Amp ESC's with SimonK as shipped from HK for a year on my 3DR Pixhawk with no problems. The motors are Sunnysky V series 2814 KV800 and the props are APC 12x4.5 on a 680 class frame using 4S batteries. "
