GRID V2 does not work. Developers, Please Read.

I'm having a consistent problem (confirmed by another user) that GRID V2 will not fill in the polygon with points. Instead, it only fills in the 1st 3 waypoints, then back to home.Is this a bug? FYI,…Continue

Keith Trainor commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Amazing information Matt and thanks for sharing this. Would you mind showing a picture of the camera in (taking) location and it retracted as well please? I have a Finwing Penguin and am now considering this. Thanks again"
Matt Gunn commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"ok, the reality is that the map is still a bit of a wreck... lots of stitching errors, but the smartblend plugin helped a lot.
Im going to keep flying and experimenting with the grid and flight direction in hopes to make some maps with less errors."
Matt Gunn commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"wow. Criro. Thanks for that piece of advise! I downloaded smartblend and it really cleaned up the map. And allowed me to use more pictures that originally didn't fit.
Heres the map after using smartblend."
criro1999 commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Very nice.
When you did create panorama in PTGui, which "Blend Using" did you use? PTGui? Did you try to use "Smartblend plugin"? You should obtain a better stitching."
Phil Ellerbroek commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Does the Canon s95 camera offer Geotagging? The links I found on that model don't suggest that it does.
Also, what was your cruising speed? If you could have slowed the plane down without stalling, would you have done so in order to take more…"
Matt Gunn commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Pretty close, but I have the launch method down well. As long as you follow through your hand clears the prop every time."
Muhammad Al-Rawi commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"The gimbal is brilliant! Well done.
How close is your hand to the prop when launching? "
Matt Gunn commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Yes, gimbal is mapped to CH8 output. I set the gimbal function in the standard parameters tab to either GPS_Point or Mavlink_control and it will automatically start working. Note that those two options allow you to define an area of interest or a…"
William Pryor commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Do you have the gimbal mapped to a channel on your RX? I'm interested in using a gyro-stabilized setup for a passive function, kind of like a wind sock. Similarly, you only ever need this gimbal pointing straight down, but I'm not sure how…"
Matt Gunn commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Altitude was 327 feet (100 meters). Total time was around 10 minutes."
ALK commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Could you share altitude and total area mapped? And flight time.
Thanks"
Dwgsparky commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Congrats Matt, great picture. Glad everything word for you"

Here's my 1st mapping test flight with a Skyhunter twin-boom pusher. Im running Arduplane 2.73. Mapping camera is a Canon s95 running an intervalometer script via chdk. Its suspended from a single axis gimbal that keeps the camera pointing down regardless of aircraft bank angle. Video shot from a GoPro 3 Black Edition.
It took 120 photos during the 10 minute…

In this video, I go over how to trigger a Canon s95 camera through an rc transmitter, without taping a servo on top to push the shutter button. Canon cameras use a firmware hack called CHDK that allows shutter control through the usb port. With a simple switch from Turnigy, we can trigger the camera from the transmitter.
Turnigy switch:…

Testing the GoPro 2
Posted on November 22, 2011 at 6:17pm 14 Comments 6 Likes
Ive been doing some testing with the new GoPro2 HD video camera. I bought it out of necessity after loosing my GoPro HD in flight :( But, having the HD jump ship was a blessing in disguise, because the new GP2 boasts some impressive features.
While shooting in 1080P, you can choose 3 different field of view (fov) settings: Wide at 170, medium at 127, and narrow at 90. Heres a video I made testing the different fov settings on a Skywalker foam airplane.…
