BR928 replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Using Arduino IDE 1.0.1 I am still getting compile errors.  Says conflicting return type associated with uint8_t. Any ideas?
There are 2 source codes in your zip file. Is the OSD the original and the beta your changes?"

BR928 replied to Alvin Stewart's discussion Simple Mode assigned permanently to a Flight mode without using up channel 7
"When you set up the flight modes in the mission planner just check the 'simple mode' box next to it. That makes simple mode permanent for that selection. On my quad I have all flight modes checked to 'simple'. No need for an external switch.
In you…"

"Can any of the guys that wrote the software chime in here and tell me how auto takeoff is supposed to work?
Throttle position?

"Is there anyone who knows how auto takeoff supposed to work?
Is anyone else using this feature. Sure makes launching easy when it works!"

Where is the documentation that explains Auto Takeoff?The little I found says the throttle is manual. I have it programmed as the fist step in a mission. As soon as I select auto mode the throttle goes to max. If I land, reset the mission and select…

BR928 replied to Mike M's discussion Throttle for altitude control in a paraglider? in ArduPlane User Group
"I think FBW-B uses throttle for altitude control where FBW-A uses elevator. You do have to have the air speed sensor though."

"I had to reset the mission. It was trying to go to a waypoint other that the first one even though I downloaded a new mission."

I have takeoff as the first command in my mission. Up till today as soon as I would enter the 'auto' mode the throttle would go to 100% and I would hand launch the plane. After downloading a mission today with takeoff as the first command, when I…

BR928 replied to Paul Hansel's discussion Mega-scale APM2 flying wings in ArduPlane User Group
"Curious as to why you want one that large? Seems like the RiteWing Zepher II is plenty big w/ a 56" wing span. http://www.ritewingrc.com/buy-cores/wing-cores/
He has already done all the R & D. Very stable platform."

BR928 posted a discussion
I have searched and can't find much information on how voltage and current is handled in the mission planner. I have a APM2 and 90A AttoPilot that brings in voltage and current. I have set the size of the battery in mAHrs in the setup. I have also…

A couple of versions back there was a tab to level the plane in setup. The only thing I can find now is a tab to level a quadcopter. Is this what is used to level the plane?
