I need to plan an aerial survey mission for a friend's farm up in Pennsylvania. But without being at the location there doesn't seem to be any way to get MP to home in on the property short of zooming and dragging the map around until I find it. I

Everything else works fine, the 3dr usb rad
Read more…Hi All,
The copter had a compass error a few weeks ago, and I've just put it back together. An arm needed replacing & the USB port on the exterior (body & PX4...couldn't believe it) is broken. I recalibrated everything & took it out today. It flies

Read more…I recently was flying the IRIS+ in an auto mission when something strange happened. As IRIS was gaining altitude and flying toward it's first point in auto mode it suddenly yawed about 90° followed by a pitch exeeding the maximum allowed pitch. As so

I did a preliminary test and was getting 8 to 11 satellites in the middle of my living room, so I

From the logs it looks to me as if I lost GPS, but that shouldn't mean the craft behaves like it does

Read more…OK, I googled this and found lots of folks wondering the same thing but I couldn't find an answer. Has this functionality been added to Tower yet? Or is it a "coming-soon" feature.... or just a pipe dream. Anyone know the current status?
Read more…Just wondering if anyone is using an inactivated Android phone for Tower mission planning. If the phone no longer has a data connection to update the maps is there a way to simply download that stuff on wifi or USB for use in the field?

Did a flight last weekend over a local river. Very pretty day... and the only way to see the river through the trees is from overhead. Between the telemetry altitude and my FPV monitor I could even have flown it out of sight along the river via FPV
