"Hi, I've made 24 orders from Hobbyking so far and will order more.
I've had one issue - one order which I originally selected to be paid with Visa, I paid with Paypal, and this order did not go into "Processing" status automatically. I sent e-mail…"

"I played with airspeed gain, but did not get it right in a way I liked it. I had best results when I adjusted gain (but not controller period) on the fly - when oscillation detection kicked in, then lowered it and when not enough control authority…"
"Hi,
the code was standard PID controller (controller period was 200ms, as servos could not react with shorter period) with Ziegler–Nichols autotuning. Since I moved to Cosinus Matrix Transform, I do not use it any more.
It worked just and just OK -…"

"Hi, motionplus is in fact 3-axis gyroscope (it has two-axis IDG600 + single-axis XV-3500 gyro chips inside). Here has been a lot of discussion about it some time ago.
However, getting just gyro chips from Sparkfun with comparable quality costs also…"

"Hi, I think that this similar project you referenced provides quite a lot of valuable information. I would assume that main concern is cold (below -40 degrees/celsius) and very high winds up there, so you may want to look into airframe design that…"
"Hi, if you integrate gyro output, does it smooth out? Maybe just increasing low-pass capacitor will help?"
"Hi, this is fundamental issue with IMU's. In short, you need to use gyros + accelerometer for this task and may also use magnetometer. You may want to consult direction cosine matrix documents found here, as this is one of the possible solutions…"
"Hi Doug, what you wrote in arduimu thread is exactly the issue I've been trying to describe here, same problem. It would be interesting to know, how Arduimu programmers solved it. As far as I can tell, no Razor or Arduimu v2 should be capable of…"
"Hi, surprisingly, I have same issue. I got my GS407 yesterday from Sparkfun and its hanging outside currently under (cloudy) open sky and cannot get fix. It does see satellites and was able to get date/time (I use it with u-center). EM-411 on same…"
"Hi, I would think of 3 leds:
1. green: board has power
2. yellow: non-critical error (you can fly the plane manually, but autopilot won't work - can be sensor issues, also gps.)
3. red: critical error, unsafe to fly plane (at least one RX input is…"

"Hi, MPXV5004DP zero pressure voltage is close to zero, so you can use it as is, assuming that you are not reaching speeds where sensor output voltage exceeds 3.3V. MPX4115 voltage, however, is close to VCC (5V), so I use resistor bridge to bring it…"
"Hi, if you compare yor offering with that, then what are advantages?
I would be a bit affraid of aluminium on DIY context, foam/balsa sounds a lot safer."

"Hi, very interesting plots. Natural question arises, why amplified outputs are not on exactly on vref's. As you mentioned, you may have been affecting them with measurements, as resistor to vref from output is one megabyte and ADC input impendance…"
"Actually, let me correct myself, it may be that 4x outputs are different from VREF, it depends on gyro opamp design. It would be interesting to know, what is the voltage on board 1x and 4x outputs during static conditions."
"Hi, something is not correct. Your Razor is This, correct? And its chematics is here?
It simply is not possible that board outputs stay different from VREF for long, unless you did short capacitors C1, C2 and C19 (which is correct thing to do IMO).…"

"Hi, you wrote that you left VREF's unconnected. When checking Razor schematics we see, that board outputs are separated from gyros outputs by capacitor in all 3 axes and are tied to VREF with resistor. Meaning, that under static conditions, board…"
