(I asked this on the ACM 2.6 thread but maybe the proper place is here)I'm trying to display the raw sensor input of the sonar, but I can find which of the fields it is. I'm using the latest s/w:…Continue

It's not bad luck, it's simply a software bug.
I'm not criticizing the developers, we're all human and we all make mistakes.
But luck has nothing to do with it.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Dror Caspi replied to John Dell's discussion Naza M vs. APM 2"I guess your basic assumption is that s/w if free (as in "no cost") and all the cost is in the h/w.
Obviously in this most of the investment of the vendor is in the s/w. You don't need to look to far, just take the APM as an…"
Dror Caspi replied to John Dell's discussion Naza M vs. APM 2"So What ??
You get functionality X for Y dollars. A vendor has every right not to sell you functionality X+1 unless you pay Y+many dollars. It's their product, you always have the choice to buy the competitor's product.
I don't…"
Dror Caspi replied to John Dell's discussion Naza M vs. APM 2"Sorry but I disagree. Naza has no competition when what you want is a very stable platform with a good failsafe RTL and autolanding. Most people want exactly this and don't need waypoints! At $400 no other solution comes…"
Dror Caspi commented on Tim - Arduino for Visual Studio's blog post How To Configure APM Debugging"Looks like a great product with a great potential for improving the quality of complex Arduino-based s/w such as ACM!

Dror Caspi replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.8 / 2.8.1 released"Use simple mode! At least this is my solution to flying the quad (and its camera) facing you"
Dror Caspi replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.8 / 2.8.1 released"You may get what you need by playing with channel mixing in your tx. E.g., when rolling the tx can apply some yaw so the end effect is similar to what you would get in a plane."
Dror Caspi replied to Dimitri's discussion Weird behavior of APM1(2560) radio/ppm - channel 6"I also have a similar problem with channel 6 on APM1. In the calibration screen it shows a fixed value (don't remember if it's 1500 or 900).
To find the cause of the problem, I swapped cables with channel 7 at the receiver.…"
Dror Caspi replied to Dror Caspi's discussion RTL & land on low battery - how to do it?"This discussion sort of fizzled out... but I still think it's an important feature.
Any chance of it getting into an upcoming release?

Dror Caspi commented on Roberto Navoni's blog post FoxTeam present last update on VBRAIN project : Benchmark of Arducopter firmware on APM , MP32F1 and VBRAIN and a lot of new video :)"Excellent!
Could you please tell us more about how this project cooperates with ArduCopter? Is it part of the development of a future ACM 3.x?

Dror Caspi replied to Mark Slater's discussion APM 2.5 for $89 Can this be true ?"Note that they give proper credit to 3DR. This is the least you would expect from a clone."

Dror Caspi commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Arduino announces a shipping date for ARM-based Due"As an experienced software engineer, I personally think that Arducopter has long ago grown well beyond what should run on an Arduino. Software-wise, Arducopter should have been based on an RTOS. Hardware-wise, it should have been freed…"

Dror Caspi replied to Quentin Mayberry's discussion Tuning a scratch built Quad Copter in the group ArduCopter User Group"Check ALT HOLD mode first. My experiece (with 2.7.1, haven't tried 2.7.3 yet) with a rather heavy quad is that I needed to increase Throttle Rate IMAX. Otherwise the quad would just sink and never be able to stabilize altitute.
