Guys,
I'm having some issues with my 3DR radio. I've tried reverting my settings back to default and replacing my antennas but I haven't been able to get my range much past 20ft before my connection fails. I've graphed my log and it looks fine to me

Read more…Hi,
I want to use the FollowMe code in the repo, or wrap my own, for having an ArduCopter follow me going down a mountain road. That means, it will receive guided mode commands with negative relative altitudes.
Can I expect that to work okay?
