"@Hisham - So to fix the AHRS problem, you just turned off the internal compass?"

Bruce Jones replied to Bartek Sad's discussion Bad AHRS - Pixhawk
"I'm about ready to throw away a brand new Pixracer because I can't get rid of this error.  I've tried all of the fixes listed here and elsewhere and it continues to happen.  It's really starting to piss me off.
I left the Ardupilot world over three…"

Bruce Jones commented on PX4's blog post PX4FLOW Release
"Is this product dead?  I don't see where you can buy it on the 3DR store anymore.  If it's out of the product line, was it killed from lack of interest or did it have problems and issues?"

"Sorry, I gave up on the DX7s - too hard to program - sold it, and bought a Taranis.

Good Luck!"

Bruce Jones commented on Chris Anderson's blog post A Drone's Day at Maker Faire
""Everyone who attended MF was informed that there would be drones flying overhead and signed a waiver"

Did anyone else on this thread attend the Faire?  I did, and certainly didn't sign any waiver.  I have about a dozen friends who went, and none…"

"Hey Shawn -  You asked me about the incident on Saturday afternoon at Maker Faire.  The big issue for me with the Iris doing the filming was the wind.  We had 20-25mph winds, with bigger gusts in the late afternoon.  I was working at the AeroQuad…"

"The "uncontrolled landing" late Saturday afternoon near the robot fighting area was interesting. 5 feet to the north and it would have been national headlines."

"If it can't use them, APM shouldn't count them.  How are we to know how many is good?  Especially if HDop is good too."

"I'm very curious why you'd get an error with 9 sats in view.  That should be plenty."

Bruce Jones replied to Thomas's discussion Why NAZA work without PIDS tuning and APM not? in ArduCopter User Group
""The end?" - Gosh, I hope not.  
Competition, sharing of ideas, and a huge variety of products is what has made this field grow so fast.  The day anybody contributing to multi-rotor design comes to and "end" will be a sad day. Especially if it's a…"

"Me?  Don't I wish!  Maybe I'd get some cool free stuff.  
But nope.  You can check me out, I've been on here for ages.  xtrmtrk on other forums."

Bruce Jones replied to Thomas's discussion Why NAZA work without PIDS tuning and APM not? in ArduCopter User Group
"It's an engineering design decision.  APM offers you MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more configurability.  With APM you can control everything, and use it on many different kinds of R/C gear.  It's a much more versatile device.  You'll never see a…"

Bruce Jones replied to Thomas's discussion Why NAZA work without PIDS tuning and APM not? in ArduCopter User Group
"To answer your original question: "Why is NAZA ready to fly?" - I believe DJI is doing a bit of constant auto-tuning.  An interesting experiment is to radically change propeller sizes on a NAZA controlled craft.  For the first second or two after…"

Bruce Jones replied to Christopher Cooper's discussion Failed on my first RC flight - any tips for a newbie?
"We're back to lots of rain here again.  You may have seen the news about the mudslide up here.  So no flying for a while.
1.2/1.3 does NOT play well with 2.4.  I usually fly FPV with quads (I have 13 of them) and I can tell you from personal…"

Bruce Jones replied to Christopher Cooper's discussion Failed on my first RC flight - any tips for a newbie?
"It's funny, Friday evening I had a similar experience.  I was flying along quite nicely, about 20ft off the ground, getting ready to land, and my craft suddenly did a steep straight down dive into the ground.  I broke a wing and the fuselage and…"
