Ben Harris replied to Ben Harris's discussion UBLOX Neo-6P Logging Raw Data to Pixhawk - How to convert to Rinex
"Hi Artem,
There was a new parameter created called GPS_RXM_RAW in both plane and copter which should do all of the "configuration" of the GPS to allow the logging of the raw data. Tridge did find a small problem with it though so it wasn't quite…"

"Thanks Michael.

In that case it appears that I have calculated the offset incorrectly from the camera. I'll try it again and see what result I get."

Hi Everyone,I'm wondering if anyone has had success with a 1, 2 or 3 axis Gimbal in an X8.I've looked at and have the flatmap gimbal, which is brilliant, but I would like something that will fit an A7 camera and lens where possible. There are people…

"@ Patrick and anyone else who has this working... Which version of Gstreamer on the windows machine did you use for the windows install?

"Morning Patrick.

Thanks for this
