"I would study your GPS signal, and all the error/noise values. I have found that mounting the GPS high up and away from all other electronics & motors can radically improve the GPS signal, and adding a grounded copper tape insulator between the GPS…"
"Very cool, reminds me of this cool project also:https://www.h3dynamics.com/products/drone-box/"
"And one more option is MavLinkCom library which is part of AirSim, it already has visual studio 2015 project files, just run
"MavLinkTest -serial:*,115200 -logdir:d:\temp -logformat:json and you will get a stream of all the mavlink data you could…"

"That sounds awesome, can I smell a pull request in the works ? :-) We've been super impressed by the Unreal engine. We looked around and couldn't believe someone hadn't already done this. So, well, we did it. Actually Shital did most of the real…"
"Thanks Chris, I'm actually working on this in Microsoft Research. Super fun project. Finally a really nice simulator that works nicely with the PX4 stack. It can also work with DJI SDK. It can also work with PX4 SITL mode, so Pixhawk hardware…"
"This is really awesome, I'm glad the hardware innovation continues on the pixhawk family. I'm a huge fan of pixhawk and the PX4 software stack and the rapidly growing family of great tools for managing these drones."
"Sorry to hear of your frustrations. I've had similar frustrations a couple years ago while I was learning how these things work. One drone I had would randomly flip and crash, I debugged it down to a single crack in a soldering joint on the power…"
"Hey that's awesome, I think your customers will love it."
"Wasn't the most obvious place to look, they should make this an essential test in the handy new wizard to make it more visible (especially for folks who are building their own kits)."
"Never mind, I just found the new motor test under ">> Optional Hardware" in Mission Planner..."
"Looks like Randy Mackay removed it, not sure why...

"are you using pixhawk, if so, which version of the firmware?"
"Since mission planner just forwards the terminal from the firmware, I'm guessing the pixhawk firmware decided to remove the test for some weird reason. Can someone put it back - it is the most useful test there is, I wouldn't dare fly a newly…"
The latest version of Mission Planner version 1.3.17 Terminal connects fine to my new pixhawk, but the "setup" menu contains:resetshowsetesc_caliband the "test" menu contains:barocompassinsoptflowrelayshellrangefinderbut no "motors" test. So how…
"awesome, I totally wanted to do this too, thankyou !! I hope this gets integrated into the official builds soon!"
"WOW, I totally want one !! "
