Chris N replied to Darrel Maddy's discussion Help with 3DR radios in MP
"Here are a few things to try: Can you try to connect to Tower app?  In MP does a com port show up in the list when you try to connect? Does the com port change when you try a different USB port on your computer? It should, if not, troubleshoot…"

Chris N replied to Darrel Maddy's discussion Help with 3DR radios in MP
"Just to be clear, it is the radio that wont connect or the vehicle? Does MP recognize the radio, on the SiK radio tab? Or are you just having trouble connecting the vehicle with MP? Also, I have had no issues after Win10."

Chris N replied to Charles Linquist's discussion Intentionally shutting off motors in mid-flight then recovery
"The wobble can be reduced by forward movement. In auto mode, I would create a descending spline circle. However, to increase your speed coming down, you will need a different mode. Before thinking of turning off motors, I would try descending in…"

Chris N replied to Charles Linquist's discussion Intentionally shutting off motors in mid-flight then recovery
"What mode were you flying in? You mentioned that you wanted to go straight up and straight down, if you were in Loiter or Alt Hold, you are limited by your max vertical speed parameter. When I'm in stabilize mode, I descend like a rock at minium…"

Chris N replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"RC11 flies very well. I had frequent EKF issues, all resolved now. Thank you!

"Has anyone else had trouble geotagging gopro pics via mission planner with 3.3rc8? Works well with 3.2 for me. When I tried with 3.3, using time offset, est offset always shows -1, then pre processing finds no matches. 3.3rc8 log below. 2015-07-30…"

Chris N replied to Justin H.'s discussion IRIS upgrade project in IRIS
"Once I get my Iris+ returned from 3DR, I will be changing the GPS. How do you like your set up? Did it make big changes to hdop? What unit did you have before and what did you upgrade to? Also, did you try or consider just upgrading the GPS in place…"

Chris N commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Solo kiosks arriving in Best Buy for launch next week
"They seem pretty bogged down with returns now, can't imagine it will be any better after launching their "smart" drone. I've been down about 45 days now after first receiving a defective Pixhawk to replace mine that died, now waiting on a full…"
