I'd like to add a realtime data network logging plugin (TK102 or OpenDMTP or similar, whatever's easiest) to Mission Planner. I could do it myself, but I'm not really a sharp C# guy, I'm a C++ guy at heart.I'm looking for someone who already has the…
"Yeah, I broke my clips too. I used a dab of glue and now my Iris is a bit lighter.
I do find it irritating you can't buy them though."

I'm curious, is it possible to snoop on the 3DR standard (Iris+ or Solo) telemetry or remote from, for example, an RTLSDR receiver? It's not encrypted communications, it's just spread spectrum frequency hopping, and I think others have figured out…
"I was there summer 94/95 as a PC Tech.
I'm super jealous of your opportunity to do work with multicopters on Erebus. I'm working on a stereo vision based system that might be interesting to your SLAM goals. Did you ever send a copter into a cave?…"

"Jealous about flying at Erebus. All I got to do there was snow school. ;)What was the occasion and do you have video to share?"
"That's where the building was that I wanted to fly. And I really wanted to film this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridal_Veil_Falls_(Telluride)at 10,200'."
"Yes, I'm above Evergreen in Brook Forest. Come on up sometime and we can fly at Upper Maxwell Falls. This clearing where I've flown from before:https://www.google.com/maps/@39.5652182,-105.3793332,153m/data=!3m1!1e3!5m1!1e4is about 8400' MSL.

"Has anyone calculated if different (bigger) props would improve the lift at altitude? Normally bigger props will have too much resistance, but in the thinner air, wouldn't it even out?"
"Yeah. I fly at 8200' at my house here. ;) Hot & high is brutal. I tried flying in Telluride (9500') and could barely get off the ground. I wanted to fly at Bridal Veil falls (10,400') but I'm not sure I could even do so."
Interesting, but I'm wondering what legal arrangement he's using to fly under?http://denver.cbslocal.com/2012/06/06/wildfire-investigators-use-hi...
"I'm still trying to get it to fly stably.
I've trashed my landing gear so far. I just installed the sonar, and was trying to get ALT_HOLD or LOITER to work nicely with it but it didn't seem to climb when the wind made it drift into a hillside on…"

I'm kind of a n00b, and I'd like to build a Y6 hexacopter to learn with, but also with the intention of using to help my local first responders (rural fire/rescue and SAR in mountainous Colorado). I was intrigued by the eye3 Kickstarter project,…
