"I was thinking more along the lines of the programability of the thing. But I don't know enough about mico python to know if it's worth the trouble.

"Hey Andy, I saw this and thought of you: http://www.bot-thoughts.com/2014/02/openmv-low-cost-hackable-script...

Here's a 3D printed bracket for the radios. Nice snug fit on my HK knock-offs. STL and DesignSpark source attached.Public Library here just got an Ultimaker2 so I've been having a little fun.Cheers,Colindata_radio.stldata_radio.rsdoc
""in fact Einstein was right : everything is relative. Our problems come from basing our crafts attitudes and corrections on absolute measurements that are drifting and unreliable."

"I should just mention that the mag is at the edge of the turntable, so the distance changes as it rotates.

"If the mag is installed normally, X is forward/aft, Y is left/right, Z is up/down.
You can't make assumptions about how it's installed though. On my GPS, it's installed upside-down on the bottom of the board, and rotated 90 deg. On my DiscoveryF3…"

"Heading is atan(Y/X). If programmming, use H = atan2(Y/X).

"Andy, did you try a separate power supply for the board, in case the jamming is coming over the wires instead of being radiated?

"Thanks Andy. That'll keep me out of trouble for a while :-)

"Andy, on the hardware side, is it possible to use an existing F4 board and have the external video-related components on another smaller board?
What are the external components that would have to be mounted separately?
Thanks a lot,
Colin"

"The hardest part of the interface seems to be to represent the aircraft part, since they are all different ( e.g electric need batteries, petrol needs gas, quadcopter v plane etc)
This is the hard part, isn't it? It's like you can't please…"

"Looking good Andy. One thing scares me: you say "The Board is designed to be used with Ardupilot."
I'm going to be able to use it without an Ardupilot, right?
Thanks man,
Colin"
