"@naish88,
Thanks for spending time on my questions. Here is the project - a thrown object finder. I was wondering if I could use the ESP chip as a simple transmitter on WIFI frequencies on a small object so that a cellphone could see the…"

"@naish88,
Wow - thanks much for the URL to that help page - best info yet! I can now see the ESP on my tablet and cellphone.

" I purchased three of these WIFI chips from ebay but when I just connect Vcc (3.3v) and GRND, I see the power LED but not always the Blue LED - sometime it pulses when I touch the PCB. I never see it as ESP_**** on a tablet or my cellphone. Any…"
"@Al,
Thanks much for this cleaned up version. The Magnetometer calibration seems to work - the "released" version doesn't have that at all - shouldn't it? Unfortunately, the printed out pitch and roll are incorrect for me UNLESS I make the same…"

" I'm sorry but I cannot help you on the HUD source code mods but I would be very interested in your efforts to calculate angle of attack and sideslip. Could you please provide your equations and maybe even the APM source code? Many of us need these…"
Just so I could have the actual binary that gets downloaded by Mission Planner, I would like to have the Arduplane 2.6.8 Firmware - not the source. Any place to get it?
"Jordi,
Congratulations!! You have been successful in your technical endeavors but more importantly, you have shown us all how to be an entrepreneur - starting a business and hiring a great team! When I visited your facilities in San Diego, I was…"

"I have included some quick plots of the difference between G1000 (top) and APM data - just focus on the BLUE pitch data traces. You can see that the APM data retreats from the correct value right away - the same thing happens with roll data. This is…"
"@Ralph Paul and Soren,
Thanks very much for your expertise in trying to understand what I could do to make the APM pitch/roll attitude performance better! I am starting the APM with it level on the ground and disabling any further level even…"

I have been using an APM 2.5 in an actual aircraft connected to my laptop running Mission Planner just for recording pitch/roll/yaw and comparing it to the "gold standard" G1000 logged data while doing a few roll and pitch step control tests. When…
"Criterion-Industries,
Thanks much for your expertise!

Thanks much for your expertise!

Tried the latest (1.2.25) Mission Planner on XP 32 -bit, made sure the atmega2560.inf driver was installed (Device Manager says it is there), fired up MP and tried to connect. It shows "(COM5) Atmega2560" in the MP connect area - had the baud rate…
Michael, I appreciate the updates of MP but I don't like to have to be careful to say NO to the update whenever I startup. I am staying with an older version that works for me but I could wipe it out anytime I startup if I screwup and answer YES…
"Al,
Am I supposed to use that calibration.h you supplied and/or am I supposed to run the calibration application?
Thanks for the gyro fix.

"Sorry to be asking simple questions, but do we still use the Arduino IDE with this code? I got lost with the discussion about Python since I don't have/use that. Where should we download a version that should work for ArduIMUv3 and the Arduino 1.1…"
"Artem,
I just wanted to confirm that the two simple changes (GRAVITY=8192 and the two gain changes) are all that is required for you an ArduIMU 1.9.8 (neglecting YAW improvements - I don't use a GPS). I will retest my measurements - do you go…"
