Gregory Harrington replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Yes, I am aware of that, however there is a lot more information that can be ascertained by knowing the HDOP.
Also, for the satellite icon to stop blinking on the OSD; the number is not necessarily 2.0
It is whatever you have set in the parameter…"

Gregory Harrington replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Gabor,
Once this is tested will you be writing a "code" for Bat2 for the copter version?
I imagine a Bat2 addition to the R800 which is working flawlessly.
I know we are pretty close to the memory limits of the MinimOSD and thus the charset upload…"

"I understand, thanks for clarifying everything.
Yes, a separate topic on the fate of the APM2.x would be great.
Thanks again for your support.

Regarding a previous comment on this thread, Rob mentioned that there where plans to incorporate the…"

"I am actually in shock to hear this. This means it is over for the APM 2.X platform as far as firmware updates?
Yes, I know they are betas but I am not talking about the latest...which technically is the one with today's date. I am referring all…"

"Randy I want to bring this to your attention, since we spoke above, about the diy firmware repository.
Seems that we might have a big problem but I am hoping I am wrong. I do not want to open a new topic at this point for I am hoping this is a quick…"

"Maybe one of the other developers saw my question here because now the download is working.
It was not working for about a week.
You just left click once and it downloads instantly as it has always done.
Can't wait to try the "fence" features.…"

"Rob, Randy,
Talking about AC3.3  I see that "APMVERSION: ArduCopter V3.3-dev" is out at the repository.
What happened to the downloads at http://firmware.diydrones.com/Copter
You cannot download arducopter.hex files anymore. (tried from 3 different…"

"Yeeeeeeeeeeees, that is awsome. I just did a cartwheel......mentally.
I see some many safety (and "peace of mind" fun) applications for the circular limits.
Great job guys, thanks for all the dedication and hard work!!!!!!"

Gregory Harrington replied to Gregory Harrington's discussion GeoFence Altitude Behavior has changed ?!?!? When did it change?
"Yes, I see.
Randy and Rob are working on this and will soon be corrected to just "stop" at your max altitude and not enter RTL. (It is already corrected in AC3.3 when it comes out)

Remember we are talking about altitude only; circle (horizonal)…"

Gregory Harrington replied to Gregory Harrington's discussion GeoFence Altitude Behavior has changed ?!?!? When did it change?
"Rob, I understand, thanks for letting me know. I am relieved it was just missed and not an actual change.
I am glad we caught this now.
Yes, that would be great to patch the bug fix into 3.2.1
I hope Randy will approve."

"Excellent, thank you Randy, thank you Rob.
I will beta test 3.3 as soon as it is available and report here any results pretaining to the geofence feature."

Gregory Harrington replied to Gregory Harrington's discussion GeoFence Altitude Behavior has changed ?!?!? When did it change?
"So it is confirmed, the code for the fence max altitude feature has changed!
The multicopter enters into RTL mode (as it does in the fence radius limit) instead a simply stopping at the pre programmed ceiling altitude.
To me and I hope to others…"

I will report back after a few more tests to make sure the problem is conclusive."

"Hi Randy thanks for your prompt reply.
Yes, I fly mainly quads.

I am so happy to hear that there are plans in the pipeline to have the option to STOP instead of RTL in the horizontal fence breach. There are some many awesome uses for this feature.…"

I believe fence or geofence to be one of the most amazing, useful safetly features of this firmware.Thanks for everyone's hard work to make this possible!With fence on,Now, when the the target altitude is reached (or breached) the copter enters into…
