I have an Xbee explorer board connected to a Mikrokopter board to xmit telemetry info to another XBee connected to my laptop. The link works great, never had an issue. I just added a EPI OSD onboard…Continue

John replied to Adam Smith's discussion APM 2.5+ Control via Ethernet"so you use this device on the apm and are able to connect to it from a pc on the network running mission planner? Does it use software on the pc that creates a type of virtual com port that is tunneled over the network?
Thanks"
John replied to Adam Smith's discussion APM 2.5+ Control via Ethernet"I want to do the same thing. I simply want to be able to connect to my APM via tcp/ip through an ethernet connection. Is this possible?"
John commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Compufly Port to Java with enhancements"Any chance this could be ported to be accessible in a webpage to control a TX connected to a remote PC?
Thanks"

I am going to build a rover/car robot with onboard camera that is connected to my network via wifi. Here is what I have planned; Onboard PC (running XP on an SD based drive with usb based video capture and wifi) with a servo controller for all actions (forward, backwards, left right, camera pan/tilt etc) I already have the setup to be able to control the servo controller via a remote PC using mouse, joystick or keyboard input using Servo Commander. I will be using a server (windows media…See More
John commented on Nicolas Brieger's blog post Digital FPV with X8"Very nice! I was considering trying this with the new 802.11ac hardware. Not sure how many antennas it uses but I imagine the fewer the better so 802.11G may be better and seems to have enough throughput. I wonder if it would be better to use a…"

So i am lookig around for a Flir for my large Y6 and have found a couple monocle types that aren't too expensive ($1200~). But, I am trying to find the stand alone type with no built in display. Used/surplus would e best and I am trying to keep it around $1000-1200. Anyone? ThanksSee More
John replied to wraith's discussion tricoptor or y6"Yes you do need reverse pitch props with a Y6. You don't need them with a regular tricopter.
I guess it all depends on what you consider "sport flying". For agility and acrobatics, I am pretty sure a quad will be the best. For power…"
John replied to Joseph's discussion Antenna Tracking with Mission Planner"I imagine that it is blank because there isn't an available com port. Look in device manager...Is there a com port listed? If you plug in something into the serial port or a usb dongle that has a virtual com port it will probably show up.
In…"
John replied to wraith's discussion tricoptor or y6"Strictly for sport flying I would go with a Tri. I have a Tri (not with Arducopter) and it is pretty sporty. But, my quad is is much more agile and fun for sport flying. I imagine a Y6 would be fine too but the extra weight would probably work…"
John replied to Mike Estee's discussion Experimental: Futaba SBUS support for APM2"The Eagle Tree OSD system is supposed to be PPM compatible soon. Even though there is the Mikrokopter hack, as new versions of firmware are released, there is no guarantee that the hacked firmware will continue to be updated. There has been…"
John replied to Mike Estee's discussion Experimental: Futaba SBUS support for APM2"I used this mod for use with modified Mikrokopter firmware. It works great but I really would like an SBUS to PPM converter. There was a guy (sebastian) on the Mikrokopter forums that made one and it was hit or miss if the one you got worked (Mine…"
John replied to John's discussion 3 devices sharing din/dout for telementry and osd?"Thanks for the info but I am not sure what you mean by different ports. Are you saying different com ports on the PC? Does the Remzibi run on the pc? In my case I have the Xbee and osd both on the MK itself and connected to the din/dout of the FC,…"
DeveloperMark Colwell replied to John's discussion 3 devices sharing din/dout for telementry and osd?
"I have had poor to mixed results so far with both on same port, when plain text is sent to OSD it interferes with MavLink.
I am now attempting to use Port 0 with 4 pins added for TM to xBee 900 Pro only and Port 3 for Remzibi_OSD shared with FTDI…"
