"I'm using a i2cNav setup for UBX so I'm pretty sure MSP_RAW_GPS is what the controller is sending.  Based on the MSP message definitions, I edited the json file.  If the variable is UINT 8, I made it "short", UINT16 "int", and UINT32 "byte".  The…"

"Simon, Victory is addictive and fleeting.  I got ambitious and tried to add GPS to the messages parser handles.  Python worked fine and built the java output directory and java compiled it, but I didn't know whether I needed int float or short for…"

"Simon, I got it finally.  I had every Java error ever conceived and then I changed the roll,pitch,yaw in my HUD to public and it worked.  Its very pretty and better than all my previous attempts at a ground station. "

"I chewed on it for awhile.  I have a few examples of attitude indicators that extend View.  I got HackFlight to display a HUD but I don't know how to get roll,pitch,yaw into this View.  Its a shame, HUD is so pretty and parser is chugging away.   "

"Holy cow, that's exactly what Ive been trying to do.  Your app even uses the same USB driver/service Ive been using.  Ill chew on this example for a while.  Thanks."

"Ooops, sorry about the bad form, Simon.  I was testing the USB output from the MW to my android project.  I shoe horned the example.java into my project and that output is   "+59 +76  +1".  That tells me that byte[] I get is what the parser needs…"

"Simon, I have your parser in my project.  I have to learn how to use it.  I printed to system.out what I'm getting from the USB connected MW.

"OK, thanks Simon!  I read the readme on the tool and I see it will make a .jar of the parser.  That might be enough for me to just add the .jar as a library in android studio. "

"Wicked !  You sir, are clever! 
I'm struggling with MSP.  I can get USB over android(even have some simple apps I built that work)and I have tested if I can Rx the serial coming from my Multiwii.  My current problem is I cant understand why my app…"

Harry commented on Simon D. Levy's blog post Hackflight Teensycopter
"I wouldn't say I have ADD but 6 days ago I took a look at Hackflight and instead of staying focused on getting some hardware and giving it a try, I got distracted by all the 32bit based projects out there.  Ive played with processing and android…"

Harry commented on Simon D. Levy's blog post Hackflight Teensycopter
"Simon, thanks again.  I got it to compile after some trouble with understanding where everything needed to be.  It couldn't find the pidvals.h file, so I made one using the error messages.  I used 1's for the values which would have been messed up. …"

"OK, professor, explain to me what I need to be able to compile Hackflight and load it onto a Teensy, si vous play?
I'm a fan of your posts, but I have yet to plunge into 32bit because I don't know what tools I need. 
Merci "

Harry commented on Julian's blog post 3DR's Rise and Fall
"Wow, so much drama.  Speaking of roots, I recently hacked a ground station that runs on android and does nothing more than receive heading, attitude, position and displays it.  I wouldn't have been able to do that without the work that is on this…"

Harry replied to Harry's discussion I'm still playing with DCM
"The jumpiness is the least of my problems.  I/ve been testing without GPS because I was using an i2cNav board and it stopped working.  My FTDI cable had a broken wire and I couldn't upload anything with it.  I had to strip the covering off the cable…"
