"Like Time said, if it was software, they would have fixed it by now. The trouble is, if it is hardware, and the thousands of reports point in that direction, we have to wait until GoPro release a second HW edition of the 3 series. In doing so, they…"

"Hi Maxime, to make it safe, you need to figure out a way to be able to completely bypass the APM if it gets wonky, and it will at times. Some sort of external failsafe, something like this: http://www.millswoodeng.com.au/failsafe_device.html It can…"

Bonjour  Olivier, je m'excuse pour ce qui c'est passé sur le site. Jene sais pas comment fonctionne les forums et j'ai posé la question car, Eagle m'a dit des bêtise dans mon mail à propos des images que j'avais mits.

Je ne savait pas que je ne pouvais pas le faire.

Je l'ai dit au début et j'ai aussi dis que je pouvais qu'en même comprendre les conversation en anglais.

Tous le monde est parti en peur et cela a dégénéré.

Je veux savoir seulement comment ça fonctionne le fotum.

J'écris quoi et surtout où j'écris.

Je pensais que c'était sur ce forum qu'on pouvais parler.

Tantot j'étais fâché parce que Eagle à parlé en anglais simplement pour me narger.

Si vous parlez en anglais, je n'ai qu'a traduire comme je l'ai toujours fait.

Je n'en reviens pas de ce qui c'est passé.

De mon côté j'essayais d'être aimable et de l'autre je recevais des bêtises.

Dans le pire des cas, je vais rester avec les américain comme avant.

Si tu connais Dany chez Canadadrones alors, il pourra te dire que je suis quelqu'un de correct.

 

merci    Jean-Sébas

C'est sans doute un mal entendu. Ce forum n'est pas des plus facile à naviguer. Lorsque tu tombes sur un sujet qui t'intéresse, rajoute le dans tes signets car il sera difficile de le retrouver plus tard, le moteur de recherche de ce forum est pratiquement inutile et incapable de retrouver un article posté deux jours avant.

Ce qui importe, c'est que tu places tes commentaires dans les sections pertinentes pour ne pas encombrer les posta qui traitent d'un autre sujet. Je pense qu'une section française sera crée sous peu et les francophones pourront y traiter des divers sujet qui les intéressent sans encombrer les sections anglaises qui ne comprennent pas de quoi on parle. Leur réaction est normale, je ne serais pas content si des japonais commençaient une conversion en Japonais dans un post en Français ou en Anglais. Dans le doute, tu as toujours l'option d'envoyer des messages privés aux autres francophones si tu as de la misère à trouver quelque chose de particulier.  Le tout est de rester cordial et si tu es perdu, tu peux m`écrire et j`essayerai de t'aider. On est tous là pour s'amuser, apprendre et faire évoluer la communauté dans le but de raffiner le produit pour que tout le monde y ai accès. Bons vols!

Salut Olivier, je te remercie énormément.

J'étais vraiment déçu et je ne comprenais pas ce qui se passait.

J'ai été poli et je me suis fai remonter les bretelles pour rien.

Je suis content que tu ais pris la peine de me répondre gentiment.

Au début j'étais très enthousiaste de parler avec des gens et je me suis mis a poser des questions quand Eagle m'a offert cet opportunité mais qu'ensuite il me dise des bêtises.

En tout cas, le principal c'est que tout ce règle.

 

merci encore pour ce que tu fais,   Jean-Sébas

J'oubliais, c'est la première fois de ma vie que je participe à un forum.

Je vais avoir besoin d'aide énormément au début.

Je ne sais pas comment faire ma propre page.

Est-ce que c'est dans ma page perso que je dois poser des questions ?

 

merci encore    JS

Thank you, I hope more people will take care of that like you.

So I understand admin decisions, why take care of the situation while it's so easy to just fucking nail people ! Priceless.

I'm about to work on personnal project that need APM (too late, ordered), I think I will make a fork and remove all fancy thing to get only a safe stabilisation program, nothing more.

Hi, I already have a "switcher" between two RX (I use it to train my friends) but I admit I have never thought about using it to completely bypass the APM but I will think about this idea. APM already implement a failsafe system on channel 8 that bypass APM I think ? (via PPM Encoder)

Maybe by modifiying the PPM Encoder firmware I could stop all motor and deploy a parachute (my airframe do not already exists so I plan many crash).

I think the device your link just remove APM authority like PPM encoder do (or "switcher").

I have already made an ultra cheap "APM" (Arduino + 6DOF) and I learn some tip about safety, especially when I accidentaly disconnected a PWM output then tricopter jump on me, I catch it and BigBill protect me again propeller so now I don't forget to activate pullup resistor.

The first command in my program is throttle, if there are no throttle for any reason everything stop, no exception and need to be rearmed by moving stick "left to right".

I'm not kidding with safety and that's why I'm worried about Arducopter.

I'm not really good in electronic, I learned by the hard way (and injuries). I'm a professionnal (C# most of the time) programmer but I'm a newbie in microcontroller programming.

There is my "switcher", I should have said "buddy box" but I forgot how to name it.

Very nice, just set a channel on master to change between receiver, if you switch to slave and turn off master it will stay on slave receiver, that's very nice.
