•3 Axis magnetometer (HMC 5843)
•1 pressure sensor (air speed sensor)
•1 GPS U-Blox5 GS407
Video cameras:
•1 GoPro HD Wide (forward view)

Hello to All,
Thank you very much for your interest in my autonomous mission flight and for your encouraging comments.
FYI, I am using a 2.4 Ghz transmitter Royal Pro 9 from Multiplex with the bi-directional telemetry system called M-Link. You will find some technical info about this transmitter HERE
I have just uploaded the downward view video taken by the 2nd camera during the same mission #29 flight. This is a medium quality video because this is only a FlyCam One v2 camera and not a GoPro HD Wide as the 1st forward view camera.
Regards, Jean-Louis
Comment by Darren on April 16, 2011 at 4:25pm | XTRK_GAIN_SC down to about 20. seems to fly nice and straight for me during both steady and gusty winds. |
Comment by Todd A. Lloyd on April 16, 2011 at 6:33pm really enjoyed the videos

Hello Darren, below my current setup about the XTrack:
#define XTRACK_GAIN 10 // Amount to compensate for crosstrack (degrees/100 per meter)
#define XTRACK_ENTRY_ANGLE 3000 // Max angle used to correct for track following (degrees*100)
Regards, Jean-Louis
