"I was also looking at vibration dampers for the flybarless heli kits since they are essentially the same thing: http://helidirect.com/beastx-special-foam-tape-p-22951.hdx http://helidirect.com/skookum-anti-vibration-mounting-kit-p-22097.hdx? But…"

JohnB replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.7.2/2.7.3 released
"You'd think that this is something that can be tuned out with the PID's, but my experience is that you are correct.  I've putzed with the settings and its hard to detect a noticeable improvement with anything I've…"

"Did my first waypoint flight just the other day and it went very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SilKgFeE--A Still having a problem with Loiter in that it is constantly making minor corrections that make the video too jerky to watch.  In…"

JohnB replied to Heino R. Pull's discussion Ardustation 2.0.16 Release - Updates for ACM 2.7.3 and APM 2.6.0 with Variable Speed Servo Slewing
"I've updated my "Load the Code" area of the wiki at http://code.google.com/p/ardu-station/wiki/Assembly?tm=6 Let me know if you see any needed changes. Should we merge the or deprecate one of the two wikis? /ardustation-ii/ vs…"

JohnB replied to Heino R. Pull's discussion Ardustation 2.0.16 Release - Updates for ACM 2.7.3 and APM 2.6.0 with Variable Speed Servo Slewing
"Thanks much Heino!  Uploaded the firmware without issues, but I won't be able to test till tomorrow as my quad beeping wakes up the family. :( I've got a spare magnetometer still in the plastic bag.  I'd be glad to send it…"

JohnB replied to Heino R. Pull's discussion Ardustation 2 Version 2.0.15 Release - Adds Mavlink 1.0 Support
"Same issue here.  Ardustation 2.0.15 works great on Arducopter 2.6.x, but not with 2.7.x.  Getting the parameters goes to 49 out of 51 and then times out.  Darn!! I need to do some tuning. I think this is going to require a code…"

"Yes, could you please give me edit rights?"

JohnB replied to Rui Manuel Cravo Marques's discussion ArduCopter Configurations and Settings for beginners !
"Rui, Are you going to give edit rights to the folks that are contributing numbers?  We're still not getting any v2.6 entries. The Loiter settings don't have a LON and LAT in the table. I'm assuming its because you always set…"

JohnB replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.6 released!
"Thanks.. I saved what I had 'pre-reset config' and then reset.  Then saved the defaults in a different file 'defaults'. Now I can pick and choose what it was from the old config I want to keep.  Love this compare…"

JohnB replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.6 released!
"I'm sure this is posted somewhere.. but I did search for about 20min and could not find it.  Is there a full listing of the default PIDS for arducopter 2.6? I've been tweaking and putzing too much with my PIDS and would like to return…"

JohnB commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Autodesk creates a 3D model of its headquarters with an octocopter
"There have been very few setups that I've seen that have no vibration; regardless of the money you spend.  You can have two identical setups and one with a nagging vibration problem and the other solid.  I thing 'most' of…"

JohnB replied to Austin Duff's discussion Error Uploading to ArduStation
"When I initially setup the Ardustation 2, it has a bad solder joint in the xbee header. Although the issue is resolved now, I thought I would post the behavior in case others are experiencing it.  Basically, my display was giving me garbage…"

JohnB replied to RickP's discussion APM2 GPS more prone to RFI?
"Wasn't my receiver.. The culprit turned out to be my ReadyMadeRC camera or the harness/wiring going to it.  Once I unplug this device, the number of satellites goes up and I got 6 satellites right next to my house."

JohnB replied to RickP's discussion APM2 GPS more prone to RFI?
"Did anyone with this issue ever find a way to resolve it?  I haven't isolated the problem to my receiver yet, but once I get a chance I'll try to.  I do get a lock when powered by USB indoors in a room with windows in about…"
