About Me:
Fixed wing RC pilot. Flying e-flite MQX and arduquad from 3DR. Retired from Hewlett Packard Test and Measurement. Software developer and website design ( http://k1000.net, http://stemed.unm.edu ) Enjoy camping, music, and retirement.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Too far to go to my Fixed wing flying field and Helis seem way to hard to learn so... I am going for quads to fly from my deck. Have the APM 2.5 and 3DR Quadcopter. Enjoy learning and contributing (Wiki editors group)

"Another issue but unrelated to ver 3.0.1
Some RC transmitter/receivers (Futaba, Spektrum DX8) with more than 6 channels cannot be decoded reliably with the older PPM firmware. Has to do with overlapping PCM signals and interrupt handling. The new…"

"New MP feature. After terminal mode you have to reboot. Click the button at the top left of the terminal screen"
"Change in Mission Planner. Now, when you go to Terminal mode you need to reboot the APM to actually get into terminal mode so all the options work. Click the new Reboot button at the top left of the window."

In the developer's wiki: common-Compiling Mission Planner - Draft

"Thanks all! I needed that lesson! Finally getting a feel for structure. Next will start my wiki"
