George commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post Announcing APM 2.5!
"Gee wiz......... Just had to check me avatar and make sure I was on DIYD forum and not RCG.
I'm sure I read a product timeline statement (sorry the fancy names escapes me) around the the time of release of the APM2.0 which described pretty much what…"

George replied to John Cousins's discussion Introductions. Drop in and say hello! in Western Australia
"Hello gentlemen.

My name is George, and I live up Ocean Reef way, and happily admit to being a very average Australian with my 2.5 kids, dog, white picket fence and a garage full of toys. Aviation was not really a choice in my life as a kid, Dad…"

George replied to Michael Pursifull's discussion Jumper(s) for APM2 onboard GPS?
"No doubt as Chris says, in a later hardware release, all will be good. As for those of us now with the current hardware we own, posed with the need (for whatever reason) to implement external GPS, where do we turn? Below refers to another of your…"

George replied to Jonathan M's discussion APM 2 GPS not getting a lock?
"Contrary to my previous comments on this issue, I withdraw my comments of "Mines fixed" and repost as "still suffering" and, I am sure this is a power related issue. Having used the J1 jumper solution I posted earlier as a work around never getting…"

George commented on Kabir's blog post New: Air Pro Ion HD Video Camera for FPV
"Horyzon HD is a great FPV camera by design, but it is flawed in a few areas and needs development (which are in progress ttbomk). Its a jamming device on 433mhz, and is a bit fickle about supply voltage. As said above however, when refined it will…"

George commented on airmamaf's blog post Display RSSI with ArduCAM OSD
"Yeah, I would run with linear.
Most all of the RSSI outputs I have seen from my equipment are jumpy and erratic like that, particularly the spread spectrum frequency hoppers.
Maybe run a 5 second floating average to smooth it up a bit?"

George commented on airmamaf's blog post Display RSSI with ArduCAM OSD
"If it's just a matter of read that ~0.9 to ~3.3v... I would just want to know if it's linear already.

Not actually sure Sandro. If it helps, here is a video which displays raw RSSI voltage levels from a Dragonlink system from launch, out to about…"

George commented on airmamaf's blog post Display RSSI with ArduCAM OSD
"Also, looking at your Chainlink, to obtain an RSSI voltage should just be a case of looking at the voltage between the middle pin and grd pin of the connector next to the 'Com port' connector (labelled as "SPPM VRSSI GND" in the manual). You should…"

George commented on airmamaf's blog post Display RSSI with ArduCAM OSD
"Sandro, Just a note for scaling, nearly all radios will be different with respect to RSSI voltage values (from my experience) so maybe a tab in the set up page of mission planner requiring user to have radio on near plane for full signal sample,…"

"They are fake, $12 more expensive and no GPS.

I'm no expert on copyright law, but surely this can be stopped?

1 billion + people and they cant come up with an original product........... "
