Philip Giacalone commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Announcing T-3, Round 3: The Reliability Round"@Chris and Robert -- Right, thanks. That's a new and interesting challenge for me, since I've only used a video camera, to date."
Philip Giacalone commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Announcing T-3, Round 3: The Reliability Round"An interesting idea and challenge. Question, though... Does this require the use of a still image camera that is triggered in flight, or is it ok to use a video camera pointed down and then extract the single frames after the flight(s)?

Philip Giacalone replied to Justin's discussion Problem with 900 Xbee Module"Hi,
I'm getting the same error with the diydrones xbee 900 telemetry kit. The X-CTU program reports "unable to communicate with modem" when trying to communicate via the xbee USB dongle.
Any advice on how to fix…"
Matthew M commented on Philip Giacalone's blog post Introduction and UDB mode switching question"Thanks Riccardo, I was only suggesting turning it off for debug/test. He doesn't have the GPS yet."
Riccardo Kuebler commented on Philip Giacalone's blog post Introduction and UDB mode switching question"Matthew,
the option to turn GPS off is only for debug. Don't fly with it.
There is a work in progress to have stabilization without GPS, but it is work in progress.
Best regards,
Ric"
Matthew M commented on Philip Giacalone's blog post Introduction and UDB mode switching question"I think you can turn the GPS off as an option in the code; also as NS Rana suggested though I haven't done it my self you could hard code your lat/long if your just testing?"
