Chuck replied to bergsprekken's discussion lost in a swamp"Over a month later?
Congrats. That was impossible."
Chuck replied to Chuck's discussion Future of the Mission Planner"Doesn't the Mega have more than one uart?
Plus, you could use a GPS receiver and some gyros and stabalize the antenna when doing things like driving.
Or, for my needs, a marine application."
Andy Demartini replied to Chuck's discussion Future of the Mission Planner"I'm setting up an arduino board to take Mission Planner's output and point the antennas. So far I have some test code that is doing both az and el sweeps. It looks pretty as the antenna mount runs around but no too useful…"
Chuck commented on Adam Rivera's blog post Object Tracking - Working on Mission Planner Integration"Oddly I didn't get a PM.
I did box up the Micro Maestro.
I'm not using servos. I have two tracking solutions. One is stepper motors the other is dc motors.
The stepper solution is wicked fast, but meant for a dish. …"
Chuck commented on Adam Rivera's blog post Object Tracking - Working on Mission Planner Integration"Adam,
I happen to have an extra six-channel Micro Maestro. I had one then purchased a second by mistake.
You can PM me if you still need it.
I'm hoping for enough precision to use a zoom lens and keep the plane within the field of…"
Chuck commented on Adam Rivera's blog post Object Tracking - Working on Mission Planner Integration"I'm in with Yusuf.
I want to film my planes, from the ground. I have no friends to hold the camera.

Chuck replied to Chuck's discussion Where's the gas pedal?"Is there a guide which includes the throttle settings anywhere?
Can I get a courtesy link please?"
Chuck replied to Chuck's discussion Where's the gas pedal?"Can you specify the name of of setting?
Is it throttle Max or Throttle Min?"
Toby Mills replied to Chuck's discussion Where's the gas pedal?"Do you have an airspeed sensor?
If not, I think all you can do is set the throttle % in the configuration tab.
As far as I know the scripted airspeed changes only work with an airspeed sensor."

Sorry, I search posts and I searched the mission planner. Where do I set the air speed between way points? My plane runs a hair above stall speed. It putts through the air. Flys good, does the way points good, altitudes good. I just need more speed. Could someone please point me to the location for setting the air speed? Thanks See More
