Hi there guysThe summation of a number of noob errors has resulted in my (quite large) hexacopter attempting to take out a palm tree.Logs are attached for your perusal. I would quite like it if somone experienced could confirm my theories.1) A new…
"Ok I managed to get the CLI working but still can not map channels to pins... Anybody know how to map RC channels to specific pins on the Rx as one can do with Configurator."
"Somebody gotta know something..."
Hi there guys...I have an OrangeRx OpenLRS Tx and Rx pair flashed with the OpenLRSng firmware. Sadly the Gitsly branch, which works amazingly for telemetry, is not Chrome Configurator compatible (or so it seems) and I cannot enter the CLI.Therefore…
Hi guysReally battling here.... Got an OrangeRx OpenLRS Rx and TX... flashed with OpenLRSng (Gitsly branch). Configurator not working for this branch.I need help connecting via the CLI.I connect to the Tx using the FTDI cable. On startup I get…
Hi there guys.I have a setup which I imagine is quite common: Pixhawk running arducopter firmware; OrangeRx OpenLRS Rx (100mW) and Tx (1000mW) running standard OpenLRSng firmware, FTDI cable (3v3), Mission Planner on Win 8.1, 9xr flashed with OpenTx…
"Nobody is to distract Randy for any reason! :)"
Hi there guys...I have been out of the workshop for past 6 months so I am hoping there has been some development in terms of the number of PPM channels that can be processed by the Pixhawk?Are we able to have the same functionality as exists for…
"@ Thomas... WRT point #2.... If the Pi could manage it would likely not be able to perform any other additonal functions well... Pixy it is :)
Point #3 could be donsidered point #2a... Ok... I did not think this one through very well -- I was…"

"Soon as you are ready with a stable build I am happy to post a video for testing of number 3 if you would include the ability to override two gimbal channels... "
"This is awesome!! I had a couple of ideas (although I am sure you have thought of these):
1) Could your "IR-Lock mode" function in addition to GPS lock in some way? Scenario --- I may place an IR Beacon at a rally point or at the end of an Auto…"

"Another user very excited about this project!
May I propose that, in the interests of maximizing the utility of this technology, AC3.3 allow for both gimbal based IR Beacon tracking AND precision landing?

"Can't wait!!!"
"I do believe your software your would receive a great following.... Especially if you could share a gimbal mounted camera for landing purposes.

"Please don't give up on this!
The ability to deploy a multirotor from the roof of an armoured vehicle and have it return to land on the exact same roof (perhaps even if it has moved) would greatly enhance the utility value in the military setting...…"

"A customizable "landing symbol" would be amazing --- Each vehicle carries a large logo on the roof which could serve this purpose."
