Greg replied to Greg's discussion Problem with RC Channel Mapping in ArduCopter (traditional heli) user group
"David that is good to know you have been using with no issues.  I will order one today and try it as well. I have asked one of the developers a question about possibly mapping the different sequence to the correct PWM channels in APM.  I suspect it…"

"@David,
Thank you
I do not use the PPM encoder so I have no wires to swap.  But this might be an option be it adding another component in the system.  
The normal method for connecting the pixhawk is the single wire to the RCIN So the way it stands…"

"Thanks everyone for your great feedback.  We are taking a well deserved rest tonight and also celebrating the win.  Tomorrow morning we head back to Canberra from Kingaroy.  As Tridge mentioned conditions were not ideal, but the preparation we did…"

Greg replied to Guy McCaldin's discussion Disappointing customer service. Slow order fulfillment, wrong item sent, 3DR wants me to pay to resolve the issue.
"Well I can certainly sympathize with you and the many others having problems with ordering and getting what you want.  I have been trying to order just 1 APM 2.6 and my first ublox GPS since early August.  I foolishly thought that even when visiting…"

"Well I tried to post a favorable and helpful comment here but it seems the blog owner is censoring who can or cannot post on diydrones.  I actually had some useful feedback which is a pity."

"Actually folks (and I am in no way connected to this company) Droidworx have a very nice Spring sale at the moment with 50% off.   I just grabbed two airframes including a complete SkyJib8 V2 @ 1307.69 USD Thats everything except the electronics e.g…"

Greg commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Announcing the next era at 3D Robotics
""We've got three pick-and-place lines working with two shifts now to meet demand, so we're staffing up to hopefully put supply chain problems behind us soon."
@Chris Any chance 3DR can look at their order processing system as part the 3DR new era…"

Greg commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Announcing the next era at 3D Robotics
"@ Joshua I agree and there in I wonder. 3DR have clearly out grown the DIY space so its not hard to see they might be too distracted with major industry projects to worry about DIY stock levels.  I have not been able to get even 1 ublox GPS due to…"

Greg commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Announcing the next era at 3D Robotics
"All the best with your growing venture. Its good to see the VC support.   I only hope that things improve on the order and stock  front.  When I checked in mid August 3DR had no GPS in stock.  Now all the major parts are showing out of stock…"

"Hilarious. Well done"

Greg replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy
"I mention in an earlier post that Australia where I fly does not have WAAS (US) or EGNOS (Europe) Satellite Based Ausgnentation System (SBAS). As both the MTK on v1.9 and Ublox LEA-6H use WAAS/EGNOS by default and APM is expenting this, how do I…"
