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…"

Greg replied to Greg's discussion Problem with RC Channel Mapping in ArduCopter (traditional heli) user group
"@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…"

Greg commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post Congratulations Canberra UAV, stunning Outback Challenge win
"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…"

"Andy beautiful video. The range of your FPV really comes into play here. I love the island approach shots."

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…"

Greg commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Announcing the next era at 3D Robotics
"Chris: tried again, adds to cart but flags red X on APM and GPS indicating issue. Will email screenshot now."

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…"

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…"

Firstly let me caveat, this discussion is not intended to be critical in anyway of APM. APM has moved ahead in strides and I acknowledge the great work of the developers and contributors in this forum.At the moment I am looking to get constructive…

Greg replied to Mike Mac's discussion APM vs. PX4 – what to get?
"I have a couple a questions as well after reading the PX4 build manual Gary was kind enough to put on the wiki and update. I noticed the Px4 IMU multiconnector pins 9-12 are the only outputs for connecting ESCs This seem to be a limitation as you…"

Greg replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy
"Well I found another piece to the GPS accuracy puzzel today, somewhat by accident. I decided to risk my new rebuilt quad (second major build this month) on 2.9.1 with my MTK v1.9. Actually a ran out of time to build 2.8.1 again and try Crash's…"

Greg replied to Mike Mac's discussion APM vs. PX4 – what to get?
"So I have couple of of questions and observations from the technical specifications and build manual Gary has been putting in the wiki for PX4. There is mention of improved availability with PX4 over APM but what troubles me is you now have a…"

Greg replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released
"Hello can anyone tell me if it is possible to load the previous version 2.8.1 after upgrading to 2.9.1 in the mission planner, instead of the alternative of compiling the source code and loading from the cli? I ask this for a couple of reasons,…"
