"What's the clone you are getting? Could you send a link?"

Jon C replied to nick's discussion DJI S800 with APM2.5
"I'm really interested in this too. I'm looking to buy an s800 for the build quality and lift capacity but I need the open source element of Arducopter. Did you need to do any tuning prior to this video at all? How do you power the APM from…"

Jon C replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.7.2/2.7.3 released
"Through a process of elimination I've narrowed this down to when RC11_FUNCTION is set.  This causes the serial connection to go haywire.  It doesn't seem to matter what number I set it to I get the same behaviour.  Strangely…"

Jon C replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.7.2/2.7.3 released
"Hi guys, Well done on the hard work.  As you can see from my earlier post however I'm having problems with the gimbal configuration as of 2.7.3 After a lot of erasing eeproms, uploading from Arduino and the MP and testing on different…"

Jon C replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.7.2/2.7.3 released
"OK, I tried erasing the eeprom and then uploading a v basic sketch from Arduino (to replace anything on the APM).  I then downloaded the 2.7.3 code manually and uploaded it from the Mission Planner.  I then erased the eeprom again from the…"

Jon C replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.7.2/2.7.3 released
"I tried again.  This time I downgraded to 2.7.1 and reloaded my 2.7.1 params.  I then erased the eeprom from the CLI and upgraded to 2.7.3 (which should rewrite the eeprom anyway if you read the following post).  I'm assuming…"

Jon C replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.7.2/2.7.3 released
"So you think its an eeprom issue?  The erase from the CLI seems to complete ok."

Jon C replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.7.2/2.7.3 released
"Thanks for the quick response.  I just tried your suggestion but still have the same problem.  The second I change the tilt 'Input Ch' on the camera gimbal page to RC6, I get the message "Serial connection has been…"

Jon C replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.7.2/2.7.3 released
"Randy, I'm having loads of problems since the 2.7.3 upgrade and I think the gimbal code might be the source.  I have tried uploading the new version from two seperate machines and both seem to upload and verify ok.  After upload…"

Jon C commented on Andreas M. Antonopoulos's group Telemetry over cellular IP
"Tommy, If the Pi is up to this then this is great news and a much cheaper option than the Gumstix I was looking at. I am in the process of writing a control library so my Arduino Mini Pro can receive PWM signals from a spare RC channel and translate…"

Jon C commented on Andreas M. Antonopoulos's group Telemetry over cellular IP
"Forgive my ignorance but how are you actually planning on sending the video down this link? If its down a 3G network won't the video need 'packetizing'? If that's the case I would imaging a Pi would be woefully inadequate and…"

Jon C commented on Dean Wynton's group UK Ardupilot Group
"I had a similar problem with my 3DR and it turned out to be the version of MAVLink the Mission Planner was using.  The installer installs 2 versions of the planner.  One using MAVLink 0.9 and one using 1.0.  It runs 0.9 by default but…"

Jon C commented on Andreas M. Antonopoulos's blog post Geo-Fencing for ArduCopter - Keep your copter "fenced in"
"This would definitely help me avoid a repeat of this! I see the latest version (1.1.98) of the APM planner now includes a Geofencing section along with a link to the comprehensive Wiki docs.  However when I try to activate it I get the message…"

Jon C replied to Nicholas J Anderson's discussion Erratic IMU in APM 2
"I managed to fix this by doing a factory reset from the command line. >setup >reset I found this problem reared its head again when I tried to configure the sonar/ofs from the mission planner.  If I set the sonar up from the command…"
