So I've been trying unsuccessfully to interface a secondary GPS NMEA stream to my quad with Pixhawk installed. Finally I just connected my terminal program directly to Pixhawk and started sending a single GGA message.Here is a sample message I've…
"@Hugo Chamberland I don't really care that much one way or another. Just communicate advantages of a unit clearly and support it with facts rather than emotions and conjecture. 900 Mhz is not widely accepted by who exactly? (433MHz for Europe)…"
"You increased complexity of the system for no quantifiable gain. Since it is touted as a multi-mile range solution I assume that intent was to improve range of communications. Well let's just try to use math instead of colorful superlatives to see…"
"The technical data is pretty limited, but based on what I see and data available, I don't think it is a "beam shaping 'radio'" As well as the statement on their web site: "high gain beam and keeps it always pointed to the drone control station"…"
"I looked at LoRa modems some time ago. I think Semtech somewhat misrepresent their product. Just like with any other data you have to compare apples to apples, and they make it as hard as possible. Since max power output of Semtech modem is the…"
"As far as I know none of the telemetry radios on the RC/FPV/"Drone" market (clones or otherwise) had their designs licensed by FCC to operate in ISM band. It doesn't mean that it is not compliant - most of them are of similar design and rely on the…"
"The statement: "The RFD900 is designed to be compliant with the following standards" tells me that they didn't obtain license from FCC for this radio as well. They also say that :"The user is responsible for compliance with local regulations for…"
"HK, got the same hardware and plastic for the most part. It is actually a better design since it doesn't rely on HM-TRP module but it is all done from the ground up. I got the 433 radio from them and made it work on 915Mhz. You pretty much have…"
"Capacitors can be viewed as current storage devices
With statements like that I can only conclude that it is time to take that EL101 again."

"It was long coming and well deserved by him. Not to side with FAA and current rules, which are antiquated for sure and FAA is a slow government behemoth that's not in a hurry to change, but you can not just go out and do whatever the heck you want…"

"But that doesn't mean we feel the need to own or carry weapons privately."
Had your countrymen felt differently about that may be your country haven't been so easily taken over by Nazies back in WWI. As Friedrich Hegel said:…"

"@HeliStorm @SgtRic Nothing you wrote contradicts my statement: " Shotguns don't shoot bullets" Yes you can shoot slugs, you can even shoot razor blades, incinerating round and who knows what else. But you can't shoot bullets. "
"One more thing, for all those foreigners who have seen guns only in the pictures of the history books - let me enlighten you. Shotguns don't shoot bullets. Shotguns fire a number of small spherical pellets called shot. Your forefathers used them…"
"Here is the original story Apparently, not much thought went into the whole thing. As for foreigners and their negative image, I'd take company of good old county boys with their shotguns any day over snooty foreigners (especially Europeans) who…"
"Out of date? That's to put it mildly. The code is not operational to begin with. It outputs wrong values for the unit orientation out of the box. So, the unit is not functional with the "sample" code. The issue has been discussed in detail on…"
"Not any different than any other camera on the street corner. Just put a disclaimer on the drone that this area is under 24 hours surveillance. If you can't read it from 5-10K feet away, that's your problem. Alternatively you can program the…"
