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)

"Hum, I put that code in the version 3.1.3 (download is marked 3.1.2) in arduCopter.pde, in setup(), right after init_ardupilot(); and it compiled fine and when upload, then use serial monitor to connect - the message shows up but the value…"
"It has been a year since I did my work with MP (The document at: http://dev.ardupilot.com/wiki/buildin-mission-planner/). Since then many things have changed. I was going to "git" the commit for ver 1.2.57 that includes the project files and give…"
"Did you figure this out? Look in Libraries AP_HAL and AP_HAL_AVR then search for board_vcc_analog_source in system.pde. That should get you started. It's all done in HAL now and I do not fully understand all that for sure. If you figure it out,…"

Having the time on the data flash log is great. And, time is displayed on the top of the Value Graph. Even better.
Question: Seems the time at the top of the graph is displayed as minutes then 10s of seconds.…"

"After you open the 2013-07-31 17-35-48.tlog.kmz file into google earth, right click on the Flight path of interest, select properties. Then select altitude then select "relative to ground" - it seems to be set to "absolute" in your file. That will…"

"Reading the data sheet for the MS5611-01BA03 Barometric Pressure Sensor, I find no reference to light sensitivity. Is this an observed characteristic or information about piezo-resistive sensor barometer products in general (I can find no current…"

"Even the "ready to fly" need to be set up completely. The "ready to fly" just means you get all the needed "parts" and the parts have been assembled. Go here http://copter.ardupilot.com/ and do all the steps in the instructions. Then if you still…"
"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…"

"I had problems, same process as yours solved them. What I would like to see is some input as to why this may be the case. Do the parameters not get updated correctly on a firmware update, or do they get overlaid with garbage, or not updated when…"
"I see that some of the Walkera receivers seem to have gyro or other stabilization built in. That would be redundant and would need to be turned off. I have no idea if you can do that-check your manual or ask Walkera dealer for help. You would be…"
"I may be possible. Try this ( I just did and it seems to work - not verified):
But first... Be sure you have a way to re-install the current version you are using - I.E. download the MissionPlanner.msi for that version. You may need it since I…"
