"Me too for 433, often asked, no joy."
"Hi Thomas,
Good to know, thanks for the update.
My Compass was working perfectly mounted centre chassis on top plate. That is, until I installed the AEG airsoft guns!
Those guns have extremely dirty motors with a ton of magentic interference…"

"Really interesting update Thomas, looks like you are on to a winning platform for 2014.
What are the competitive improvements you think you have inherited from the Pixhawk?
Interested in using the platform for custom development and need to…"

Hi,I have had my rover implementation and it's 3DR Ublox LEA-6H GPS/compass working great for the last few months.Recently I installed two AEG airsoft guns (I know, I know, boys and their toys!), and now the magnetomer is wildly affected by the AEG…
Hi all,I'm currently use a mix of sharp analog infrared distance sensors with my rover solution. These have been calibrated and yet, particularly for one of the sensors, the readings tend to fluctuate wildly. Maybe I need to introduce some…
"Hi,
So after a month of working on my ground control station software I would really appreciate constructive criticism from the community on my "cockpit" implementation. Hoping to pretty much finalise this week and incorporate feedback.
I need to…"

"Just to add, I would hope there is a way to attain RSSI without going into command mode, as I simply cannot place my rover "offline" according to the guard time requirement of 1 second before / 1 second after, as per command mode stipulations.

Hi,Writing own custom software on APM 2.6 platform, using 3DR radios for two-way control and telemetry.I would very much appreciate a pointer on how I can obtain RSSI values. Is the RSSI available at the "vehicle" end as attached to the APM and…
"Hoping for consumer grade products AND pricing, however "custom quotes" frightens me! Hope your demo is fantastically successful and look forward to the day when there is technology trickle down that brings it within reach of current hobby vtx/vrx…"
"I have been lusting after an EMAXX all day doing the research, I think it is the one.
I dont want the standard radio gear, nor a bodyshell, and I want to go custom chassis with CNC'd aluminium from fastlanemachine, just beautiful parts.…"

"Fantastic build log Thomas, just found it today as research into a faster rover which I think will be baeed on an EMAXX.
Great job!"
Great job!"
I think I have the bug, hook, line and sinker.After completing my first APM based rover platform on a Dagu Thumper 6WD chassis Im ready to start the next - why procrastinate, and after all, Christmas is just around the corner!I love the APM, it…
"Thank-you for the kind words, means a lot from you experienced guys for me as first time builder. The great thing about this platform is the potential for incremental learning, improvement and having fun doing it. Had a fab drive today, a cat was…"
Hi all,After posting here a few times for guidance I thought it time to show the fruits of my labours. This project started as a wracking of brains to conceive a concept for delivering real time data for real time on-the-fly analysis that would…
"Over the last 6 weeks I have been making steady progress with my rover build based on a Dagu Thumper 6WD chassis and APM 2.6 microcontroller platform, running with my own custom software.
It's been quite a journey so far - motor control easy,…"
