"That's great Matt. Don't feel bad. NASA slammed a $500 mil mars lander into the red planet due to a similar issue.
I knew it had to do with the numbers ;)

Greg Fletcher replied to Matt Gunn's discussion For anyone using GRID or GRID V2...please read"Matt,
I just tried the Auto wp for the first time and it worked fine. Your problem is the numbers you are using. The eeprom can only hold around 176 waypoints.Camera triggers also use eeprom. That is why it doesn't completely fill. When you put…"

Greg Fletcher commented on R_Lefebvre's blog post Arducopter TradHeli Development: Full Auto Landing"Looked at you code. Had an idea. Look at the differential if the ahrs.xyz and if it's close to zero then the vehicle is not moving. Or there's no wind and it's hovering very steady, dang! Landed 2 meters above the ground :( …"
Greg Fletcher commented on R_Lefebvre's blog post Arducopter TradHeli Development: Full Auto Landing"I like the idea of a leaky I-term. Much better than resetting it, especially when you are just touching a skid and still flying. What data are you using for land detection? This could be very good for shutting down a plane or copter after a planed…"

Amilcar Lucas said… Hi there Greg,
Yes, I'm still working on the camera stuff, but not as mutch as I would like.
The most recent version of the code is in the APM_Camera git branch.
It contains libraries to control the mount (AP_mount) and the camera (AP_Camera)
There is also some documentation on the wiki.
It would be nice to join efforts.

Hey Greg ! It hit me while I was sleeping tonight and woke me up ! Getting baby scale is an Excellent idea! not just to weigh the plane but if I get one that shows ounces and fraction of ounces I can weigh each item and figure it's moment before I put it in the plane and help figure the best spot for it from the COG + or - and keep the trimming ballast to a minimum. the rest of the plane will be foam I have been looking at power plants and might do Something Novel ? I am aiming for a take off weight of 4 1/2 to 5 pounds if I get a power plant out of something 7 to 10 pounds it should be lots Thanks! Have a Great Day!

Shyam Balasubramanian said… Hi Greg,
I read your posts that you have made a camera gimbal stabilizer. I work on Arduplane source code, with the APM-1 board, attaching 2 servo to work out solution for 2-axis stabilizer. It will be helpful if you could share your source so that I can have a look at it to get a better idea !
