Jaques Viljoen replied to Jonis Maurin Ceara's discussion Set RATE_PIT_P failed in 2.0.49"Please please please fix this issue Jason & Michael - I don't have a standard quad that doesnt need tweaking of these parameters, and this is such an elementary issue for you two to solve.
Dont misunderstand, I dont expect you to…"

Jaques Viljoen replied to Johann Van Niekerk's discussion Does Motor test in terminal window still work ?"AAAAG F.K
Johann, what bad luck - really sorry to hear that.
Could you please elaborate on the mode you were flying, which code base? Better yet - if you could download the logs and post them, maybe Jason Short could give us a hand with…"
Jaques Viljoen replied to Johann Van Niekerk's discussion Does Motor test in terminal window still work ?"Agge nee... Sorry Johann, really thought it was the hardware on that leg.
Are you able to load previous versions of ArduCopter code, like 2.0.44? If you could, maybe you can see if that solves the problem.
Another thing you could try is to run the…"
Jaques Viljoen replied to Johann Van Niekerk's discussion Does Motor test in terminal window still work ?"Hi Colby, Michael let me know that its fixed - some parameters were renamed. :-) Hopefully some testing this weekend!"
Jaques Viljoen replied to Johann Van Niekerk's discussion Does Motor test in terminal window still work ?"Hi Johann
I'm keeping well, finally getting back to AC2 after crashing with it and switching to the kkPlus board (www.kkmulticopter.com) and having LOADS of fun. Was like flying with the AC2 in Acro mode, except the other board cost less than a…"
Jaques Viljoen replied to Johann Van Niekerk's discussion Does Motor test in terminal window still work ?"I agree with Chris - found that out last night while having difficulty in getting the AC2 HILS running. When in doubt start from scratch (I don't even use old setup files - just in case)
By the way, did you guys notice something strange about…"
Jaques Viljoen replied to Jaques Viljoen's discussion Delayed switching of Modes"I tested last night for two hours using the Quad HILS and I am very confident as I didn't experience any strange behaviour or an error indication after the link was established.
I will post again if I notice anything strange regarding the…"

Nice ! I think you are approximately the second person to solve such a problem thanks to the new arducoder code.
Let us know if you encouter problems with this code but i did a heavy testing on it with a diffcult multiplex mode…"
Jaques Viljoen replied to Jaques Viljoen's discussion Delayed switching of Modes"Ok everyone - I have found a solution! Eureka - Olivier, without your slow -> fast blinking comment I would not have found it. I got the latest hex file from…"
Jaques Viljoen replied to Jaques Viljoen's discussion Delayed switching of Modes"Hi Olivier
I flashed it with firmware.hex found here: http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/downloads/detail?name=PPM_encoder.zip&can=2&q=
The blue led flashes reasonably slowly with the problematic receiver. I did…"

Wich firmware version did you flash ? Are you sure that the update did work ? Can you see the blue LED flashing as described in the firmware readme.txt manual file ?

Jaques Viljoen replied to Jaques Viljoen's discussion Delayed switching of Modes"Just to note: I have reflashed the AtMega328 device with a 'Pocket AVR Programmer' from Sparkfun and the problem remains - it seems that I had the latest PPM_Encoder firmware loaded.

Jaques Viljoen replied to Gareth Rens's discussion Help needed with Magnetic Declination for South Africa"Hi Gareth, I got -17.32 for Pretoria - entered it like that and looked at the Flight Data page while rotating and turning the quad - looks within 10 deg to my untrained eye. Now I guess its up to flight testing...

Jaques Viljoen replied to Alan Adamson's discussion Reloading the PPM encoder - without an stk500?"Hi Adam, many months have past and I require to be able to reflash the PPM Encoder/Decoder too. Same usbtiny device... Have you had any luck with your fuse settings? I flash it with the latest firmware but haven't set any fuses at…"
