"Hi John, I've gotten the log bin files off the iris and finally found them on the PC.
--what follows might be a link to a dropbox folder with three sets of logs-- lots of files you would understand but are definately Greek to me.…"

"Good morning John,
I got the copter flying on auto yesterday--flew a couple of "Missions" and all went well: the gimbal works as it should--except that I can't control the "tilt" (aiming the camera up or down) using a knob on the RC radio. There is…"

"John,
Thank you very much for the reply.
During the past two days I've spent a lot of hours with Mission Planner and the IRIS+, and I am slowly getting more comfortable with it (both the copter and the extensive abilities of MP. I am really a…"

Hi,I bought an IRIS+ in 2015 with a Tarus camera gimbal and flew it a few times-- including some auto Missions. Then I discovered 3DR had gone out of business and the copter has largely sat on the shelf for 7 years. I just bought 3 new batteries…
Hello,I bought an Iris+ with the gimbal, Black Pearl FPV and a GoPro in 2015 and used it to take a video of my farm.--After the initial activity in 2015 (my first experience with a drone), I was busy with other things, so the drone sat on a shelf…
"Michael,
I just updated Mission Planner to v. 1.3.24 and I still get double yellow light blinking on IRIS+, and the HUD in Mission Planner says "Prearn: Compass Not Calibrated". I'll get a log from MP and post it. Might take me a while- I haven't…"

"Hi Steve,
Yes, the HUD in Mission Planner shows movement in all axis when I pick up the IRIS and move it around-- including changes in compass direction! I wouldn't mind doing the calibration until I got enough data points to give me almost SOLID…"

"Michael,
I do see two sets of xyz asis when i hit the "Live calibrate" button, which makes me think that MP is sensing two compasses-- but when I pick up the IRIS and move it around to calibrate the compasses (like it shows in the 3dr video) I don't…"

Hello all,I've had an IRIS+ for about 2-3 months, but bad winter weather where I am (western NY) has limited me to only about 3 days of flying. -- So I'm very new to all of this, but I love it!Problem that just surfaced:Tried to fly IRIS+ a few days…
