3DR telemetry schematics?
Started this discussion. Last reply by roger Apr 21. 2 Replies 0 Likes
Hi ya'll,So I'm poking around on my 3dr radio trying to increase SNR - I suspect I'm picking up a fair amount of noise from USB land. It would really help to have a schematic. I tried opening the…Continue

"Hi ya'll,
Please try to post threads in the discussions group instead (this comment wall isn't so good for questions). Hi Steve, can you send me a droneshare link to that tlog so I can take a look?"

New Andropilot beta! GCS 1.4.17
First release in a while! (I'm almost done with the alpha of my new drone scripting language/project so I can work a bit more on Andropilot)I'm only posting this beta to the github download site (see link in the Andropilot Users Group description). Once I hear some positive test results (please post!) I'll promote this beta to the google play store...# 1.4.17* add a "Navigate to vehicle" menu item which will use google maps to lead you to the last known vehicle location* add support for arming…See More

Luciano Zanchi commented on Kevin Hester's group Andropilot Users Group"Kevin,
Earl's suggestion is a great idea. Having the last copter position before unexpected landing or crash is really important in order to find the copter."
Earl commented on Kevin Hester's group Andropilot Users Group"I have a suggestion.
How about a function that is "Take me to my plane,quad"
It would use the last GPS position of the APM and then using androids GPS, point you in the right direction till you are there!

DeveloperKevin Hester replied to Jim Mullen's discussion Can Andropilot be 'tweaked' to work with FBOSD? in the group Andropilot Users Group
"It would be pretty easy actually (though obviously it wouldn't be able to do the parameter interrogation). Can you put a bug in on the github site and I'll see if I can get to it in the next release."
Luciano Zanchi commented on Kevin Hester's group Andropilot Users Group"Short video in a windy day.
During the test I've never used my RC Radio. Almost everything has been activated and controlled by Andropilot on a Galaxy S3 smartphone.
In the video you can see, activated and controlled by Andropilot::

MHA replied to Kevin Hester's discussion Andropilot - discussion for Android ground controller users/developers"Gregman,
Thanks for the guess. But I don't have an optflow module. Just APM2.5 with the onboard sensors plus u-blox GPS. In MP paramter FLOW_ENABLE = 0.
Michael"
gregmaan replied to Kevin Hester's discussion Andropilot - discussion for Android ground controller users/developers"I think you use the opt_flow module... Flash back to 2.91b, reset it from terminal, flash 3.0RC5 again, and don´t enable opt_flow. https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/issues/297
"
MHA replied to Kevin Hester's discussion Andropilot - discussion for Android ground controller users/developers"Hi,
I have loaded 3.0rc5 and can not get a direct connection. It seems as the APM doesn't make it through the init. No flashing red and blue LED. any idea?

A couple of weeks ago Tridge mentioned an idea: It would be great if droneshare scanned uploaded tlogs for parameters that are outside of the recommended range.
I've just now gotten around to adding this feature, so now any time you upload a flight via the webpage or…

It seems the most of the bugs have been worked out, so I'm taking droneshare out of beta. If you'd like to give it a shot it is now a standard feature of Andropilot, just pick a username and password in settings.
For instance, in the table…

Hi ya'll,
So the Google maps 'My places' feature is a great way to share locations where UAV hobbyists can fly their vehicles. Just have someone in your local club create a new 'my place' and then plop down a few markers with descriptions. Once they have created the place, they…

Sweet. This is for Gaggle too. I got my glider rating a little over a year ago and have been looking for something exactly like that. Everyone at the field was still using software running on Compaq iPaqs and HP Jornadas.
Also, I saw you built an RV-7 as well. You certainly are prolific!
