Fnoop replied to Barry Chappel's discussion Pixhawk 4 will not ARM
"No, absolutely do not disable the pre-arm checks.  Look in the GCS when you try to arm, it should tell you the reason it's not arming."

Fnoop commented on Dr Stephen Prior's blog post New book release: Optimizing Small Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aircraft: A Practical Design Guide
"Good luck with your book, it looks interesting and a useful resource.  Ignore idiot trolls.  You could post it on discuss.ardupilot.org as well, few people come on this site anymore."

"RFD900 isn't legal to use in the UK is it?"

Fnoop commented on Mike Isted's blog post First Flight: Intel Realsense D435 on Jetson TX2 UAV
"I think they all have the laser projection, but that's only really useful indoors or at night outdoors (have you tried outdoors in the evening/night?  would be fascinating if you get a result!) 
This is interesting:…"

Fnoop commented on Mike Isted's blog post First Flight: Intel Realsense D435 on Jetson TX2 UAV
"Interesting, the outdoor performance is way, way better than the R200 so that's positive!  Interesting to see how at the end of the video the two people in the field seemed almost invisible in the depth map yet the copter flying around was quite…"

Fnoop commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Test results on indoor positioning technologies
"Really terrible webpage with virtually no information about the results or the technologies involved.  I'm very interested but none the wiser."

Fnoop commented on hiroshi takey's blog post [COMMUNITY] - Today, Ardupilot banned to me from and my related Ardupilot project.
"@Patrick Poirier  I wasn't meaning to have a go at you personally - I was just speaking my 2c about the action itself.  I have the utmost respect for you and all the cool projects you have done - you're probably more of a true DIYer than anyone…"

"@ZTW Brushless ESC - *&^% off and take your spam elsewhere, it's bad enough you continuously spam the blogs here
I've followed the URUS stuff a bit on the ardupilot forums in the past.  It's interesting stuff, a little esoteric and way out there and…"

"Tantamount to censorship.  Very uncool for an 'open' project."

Fnoop replied to david's discussion pixhawk + Raspberry pi Zero w
"Hey, it's actually super simple.  Take a normal usb2 cable, cut in half, take the small plug half and strip the outer sheath where you cut it.  You'll end up with something like this:…"

Fnoop replied to david's discussion pixhawk + Raspberry pi Zero w
"Most of us are amateurs-in-learning :) (I certainly am).  You can buy a 5v BEC from any drone/hobby shop, as long as it does 2-3a that will take care of anything a raspberry is likely to consume.  A lot of PDB (power distribution boards) for your…"

Fnoop replied to david's discussion pixhawk + Raspberry pi Zero w
"Firstly the telem2 port in that diagram is a lower power port, the telem1 port is 'high power' as detailed here: 
http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-telemetry-port-setup-for-ap...
but can still only handle up to max 1a and is still not a good…"

Fnoop replied to david's discussion pixhawk + Raspberry pi Zero w
"That's terrible insane advice - never power the raspberry from the pixhawk.  That's an error in the docs and should be fixed.  Power the raspberry from a BEC or USB, separately."
