MV Reddy replied to Chris Card's discussion Pitot Tube Question"Deja vu a la hobbyking. Would be less buggy to have discrete (separate) static and dynamic probes. Would the DIY TEK probe work?

Thanks for…"

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I have recently re-ignited my interest in R/C airborne craft.
I think it was the FPV & AP systems that hooked me.
II work in special effects for film & T.V.
I'm no longer a kid but I still enjoy R/C boats and planes, model rockets.
I also like photography, boating (being around water), motorcycles & electronics.
- Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
- I am interested in doing aerial photography.
It is my hope be able to map with photos, [for example; The area around a lake], from different directions to produce a "street-view" 360 Deg PAN -TILT etc. Maybe use it to show seasonal changes over an area.

New Firmware for XBeePro900
Posted on January 5, 2011 at 10:46pm 7 Comments 0 Likes
I just noticed that there is a new firmware available from DIGI for the XBeePro 900MHz radios.

New sleep functions , could be useful ground-side but not likely needed.
There also are some new network node functions.
There are 3 more diagnostic commands and there are functions for I/O sampling.
I haven't read though the updated manual, yet, but I hope to get to this weekend if the weather… Continue
