Georacer commented on sander's blog post The problem with airspeed sensors
"@sander,
I do not understand how measuring a voltage allows you to calculate motor thrust.
Can you elaborate on where you take the measurement and how you solve for thrust (given the required model parameters, of course).
Thank you"

Georacer commented on Charles Blouin's blog post The Otus Tracker by RCbenchmark: a more affordable motion-capture system for drone development.
"If it works as seamlessly and as intended, then $1000 sounds like a deal to me, given the current state of the art."

"@Jay, I think Jose's answers are much more educated than mine, so I'll leave it to what he said."

Georacer commented on JLJu's blog post Basic Air Data 8mm Pitot Tested in Wind Tunnel
"Not my expertise, but I think the outside surface would be much more significant.
Since there is no airflow inside the Pitot probe, just pressure buildup, the inside finish shouldn't matter. The outside would, on the other hand, at least up and a…"

"Hello Jason,
I am one of the authors of this report.
Even though your questions are not directly related to our findings, I can tell you that tuning your airplane to fly at its lower end of the flight envelope (for endurance) without an airspeed…"

Georacer commented on Chris Anderson's blog post NavStick FlytPod now on Indiegogo
"Even though I would like to buy/support this product here are the reasons why I didn't, which might be similar to other peoples:

I would be buying it from my own pocket money, not from my employer's. That means that, even though I consider myself a…"

"That's exactly what I asked for. Thanks!"

"Hello Simon,

Are there any resources or bits of information on the compilation toolchain and the flashing procedure of the board?"

Georacer commented on Ryan Beall's blog post Rapid Prototyping and Quick System Identification (part 3)
"I think the hardest PID gain to match with Simulink is D. Simulink will accompany D with N (The low-pass filter time constant) which also depends on sampling time.
Did you find any difficulties there?"

"@Aurelien ROY,

Okay, I see now how you intend to approach your project. I hope we'll be in touch again soon.

Cheers!"

"@Aurelien ROY
HCUAV never actually flew (as of now), so I couldn't tell you if the simulation was accurate. I just encoded the number the aerodynamics team provided me.

Indeed, I was struggling a lot with APM-SITL communication and ground friction…"

"@Tridge,
You mentioned a tutorial. I took a quick glance at the github repo but didn't find anything relevant.
@Maxx_UAV,
Are there launching instructions or a gitter channel?"

Georacer commented on Maxx_UAV's blog post New ArduPilot plugin for Gazebo
"This is great! I was looking at Gazebo the last few weeks to make the next step of last_letter (my simulator) but it looks you beat me to it.
I hope it will be possible to merge some work here. Cheers!"

Georacer commented on Víctor Mayoral's blog post Erle Robotics "azul" for Erle-Brain 2.0
"Hello Victor,
If I read the GUI documentation correctly, you need to disable the autopilot in order to have GUI on the HDMI.
Does that mean that HDMI output cannot be raised while the autopilot is running, or that if you connect the HDMI then the…"
