Don Gagne replied to Robin's discussion Building QGC from source

"Best thing is to move this discussion to here: http://discuss.px4.io/c/qgroundcontrol. And then also specify at a high level what you are trying to customize."

Don Gagne replied to Randy's discussion PixRacer with Ardupilot
"The internal compasses on a PixRacer can be a pain. If the quality is bad you need to turn one or more of them off usually. If you use QGroundControl to do onboard compass calibration at the end you will be shown a quality report for each compass.…"

Don Gagne commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New: QGroundControl 3.1 adds surveys and improved geofencing
"@andreas My guess is a problem with the video driver. Linux tends to be very stable since there are so many users on it. Video Driver OpenGL support can be flaky which in turn causes problems with ui crashing."

Don Gagne replied to Steve's discussion Updated USB Driver For PX4?
"How did you install QGroundControl and what version are you using? If you use the Stable or Daily build Windows installer it should automatically install the right drivers for you. Are you saying the driver did not install correctly for you?"
