Mike Wilson commented on Euan Ramsay's blog post APM into 230 size quad
"Thanks for the explanation. I get a little of the pitching up a as well when I stop. I was able to tune it out by reducing the I gain but I think I will try increasing the IMAX to see if that will be a better solution."

"In the Mission Planner, open up the Config/Tuning tab and select the Full Parameter List.  Save your existing configuration to a file and then you can edit each of your SR0 and SR1 values with the ones below.  Make sure you select the "Write" option…"

"Just finished a test flight with 3.2rc5 with my MPU 6k filter set to 42 Hz and all other PID settings the same as they were with the previous version (3.2rc3).  I'm very happy with the results so far even with the 30k wind gusts that I was testing…"

"Great news Leonard.  Looking forward to trying out the new changes.  Has there been any more thought about the option to set a low throttle limit in ACRO mode or Stabilize mode so that you can reduce throttle to descend quickly with accidentally…"

"@Tom Gates,

You can check out Pelican Cases.  I'm sure they have one that will fit the bill for you."

"I relocated my OSD and also reloaded the SR0 and SR3 values.  The update rates are now working fine without having to connect to the PC telemetry first.

Thanks for the help guys."

"I tested this morning and the telemetry updates are still slow when using just OSD in the air.  I'll try to use a ferrite or relocate the OSD and see what happens."

Mike Wilson replied to Mike Wilson's discussion Slow Telemetry update rate when Hex is in the air in ArduCopter User Group
"Thanks Bill. I'll see if these settings make any difference. The puzzling thing is that when using the OSD by itself, the update rate is fine until I'm in the air. Once in the air, there is a noticeable delay. This does not happen if the PC…"

Mike Wilson replied to Mike Wilson's discussion Slow Telemetry update rate when Hex is in the air in ArduCopter User Group
"OK, I did some more testing and when I have the PC connected to the telemetry as well as watching the telemetry via the OSD, the updates are much faster.  If I only have the OSD connected, there is a noticeable delay in telemetry updates on…"

Mike Wilson posted a discussion in ArduCopter User Group
I'm using the APM 2.6 with external compass in a DJI 550 with 3DR telemetry and the MinimOSD.  When looking at the telemetry via the OSD, the data updates properly when the Hex is on the ground but when in the air, there is a noticeable delay in…

"Nice work Chuck.  I currently have the Minds-I autonomous system but have not yet installed it in my rover.  I'm playing about with a pair of Maxbotix sonars first.

"@ Tom or John,
I'm trying to set the Steer "D" values to zero but for some reason, the APM is not accepting the settings and they go back to 0.2 if I disconnect and reconnect to the APM.  If I write the parameters and then do an immediate read, the…"
