"When will Lidar be supported in auto-mode? The obvious use for something like this is to ensure precise altitude control when flying automated grid flights over an area of interest with cameras or sensors."
"Is there any difference in performance between pwm mode and i2c mode or is it just a question of using whatever works for your setup / hardware version?"
"Thank you Robert Szabo, my servo gimbal now works along with the LIDAR.I think you are right; I also can't see any mention of MNT_TYPE=1 anywhere in the documentation. If you hadn't clued me in I'd have been stuck on this for a while!"
"I have spent the last week trying to get my LIDAR working so that we can do low level ground surveys (2 meters altitude approx).
I can only get the LIDAR working on the beta version 3.3 of arducopter
I can only get the servo based gimbal working on…"
"Hi Leanoard, thanks for responding so quickly in detail.
As long as both neutrally stable mode and also self leveling acro modes are available then it's all good. Given you fly without any leveling i can't see you not doing that so i'm happy.
"I fly acro mode using baseflight, cleanflight, multiwii and have messed about with the KK boards a bit. I think your approach may be a little wrong. Reading the first post it appears as if you consider the ideal acro mode to be one that is self…"
"I'm looking at flying a 6.5kg X8 multirotor over there for the purposes of aerial photography and radiometric sampling of data for a university based research project. "
Has anyone got any experience as a UK BNUC holder or similar licensed operator flying their aircraft in France?Where the rules very different? Was your BNUC accepted or did you need to sit another exam? Any other thoughts or comments on this…
