Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Been interested in unmanned systems since about Spring 2011, mostly in long-range semi-autonomous ground vehicles. Recently interested in things that fly.

Unfortunately, you have to pay to see them. Does anyone know what the significance of this is?Small UAS OperationsASTM International Committee F38 on Unmanned Aircraft Systems has recently approved seven new standards that cover all major facets of…
"I think the other team was using software made by Simulyze."
"Also, you can forward NMEA data my using CTRL+G."
"That's an interesting thought; I'm not sure if it would work. We were forwarding the mavlink stream from several systems to a remote computer which combined the data with other systems like ADSB. The result was a single map with the real-time…"
"That looks like a perfect solution. This is especially good if you want to push telemetry over the internet."
"Thanks, that did the trick! We used a virtual COM to UDP utility to push the data out across the internet. An observer in Washington DC was able to watch our rover in real time operating in the Georgia wilderness."
Is it possible for the telemetry data collected by Mission Planner to be forwarded over the internet?
"Wow, those t-motors are a thing of beauty. You could probably achieve similar results by hand-winding your own motors; no need to spend $300 on a motor.

Are those turnigy multistar motors and speed controllers? I've been having a major sync problem with the 390kv motors on my 6s hex with 12" props."

"I agree 12" sounds a little small for 370kv motors. Are you using 4s or 6s?
I like your printed GPS and Rx mounts!"

"Congrats! What motor/prop combo are you flying?"
"I would like to request a fix: If ArduCopter senses a motor stall, then the AutoTune should automatically abort. Why would I request such a feature? I'm glad you asked....."
"Update:
I bought an actual Spektrum satellite receiver to see if there was some sort of issue with the OrangeRx brand. No luck. The RC inputs are just as non-responsive as before. I'm beginning to wonder if I might have a faulty PX4IO board."

"Still no luck. I broke down and got a "satellite receiver" for the Spektrum port on the PX4IO, and that didn't work either. Please, someone call me stupid and tell me what I'm doing wrong!"
I'll admit r/c receiver technologies are still somewhat mystical to me, so I would appreciate some input.Is the SBUS output on the OrangeRx R800X compatible with the PX4IO SBUS input? This Rx is mentioned by name so I figure I must be doing…
"I think the OP had a legit question, especially since he didn't realize the "toilet bowl" was related to compass calibration. Yes, this topic has been discussed many times in the forums, but I don't think all the mudslinging is necessary. A simple…"
