Hugo Pereira replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.2.1 Beta Testing
"Hi Craig,

What was the problem with the power module? Did you have the wrong voltage offsets?"

Hugo Pereira replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.2.1 Beta Testing
"Agreed. 2s is a bit excessive. Would feel much more in control with a more immediate disarm. "

"I see no added safety on the throttle down for disarm, as the landed state brings the motors to very low anyways."

Hugo Pereira replied to Hugo Pereira's discussion How do I report a bug of Mission Planner?
"Huge thanks, Michael. Crazy you found the time to reply here. That worked great, I should have thought of deleting the whole folder after uninstalling.Here's the config file attached.config.xml"

As the title says, I couldn't find a way to report a bug on the latest Mission Planner to the devs. Does anyone know the proper channel to do that?After upgrading to the latest MP (1.3.19), the MP doesn't open anymore and it crashes on the splash…

Hugo Pereira commented on Joshua's blog post A reminder to double and triple check your products (exploded ESCs)
"Hi Joshua,Great of you to share your experience. If you're looking for 4ESCs for your 4S setup, I'd recommend the Afro 30A. I used the exact same motor/prop setup as you and they always perfermed (with the added benefit of not having to flash them).…"

Hugo Pereira replied to Hugo Pereira's discussion Fully redundant drone
"I have been considering sonar or other more accurate way of altitude measuring than the barometer. But my project will have a payload underneath that is likely to get in the way of whatever signal is emitted, no way around it, really. Thanks for the…"

Hi everyone!I'm doing this commercial project where reliability is a MUST. I'll be investing a lot of money on top-notch parts, but I had enough mishaps (and read about many more here) to know that even great motors get out of sync, and great ESCs…

Hugo Pereira replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.2 beta testing
"+1I've been wondering when something like that would make its way to Arducopter. After losing a frame, prop and motor to a flip in auto tune due to what I believe was a sync issue, it would have been an amazing feature!I'm sure it would be a…"

Hugo Pereira replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.2 beta testing
"I hate this "don't ruin it for the rest of us" approach. It's excluding and borderline irrational. People do stupid things with cars everyday and no one has been prevented from driving.And for the "newbies" out there. You don't have to land in…"

"Another question: What program did you use to design it?"

Hugo Pereira commented on Nick's blog post Custom built APM mini quad.
"Off topic: Is that a Surface 3? How do you like it as a  field computer for Mission Planner?I have an Asus T100, which is great for battery life, but I use 135% scaling and Mission Planner sucks with scaling (lots of stuff, especially wizards, radio…"

Hugo Pereira commented on Nick's blog post Custom built APM mini quad.
"Great looking quad. Love how you placed the motors facing down, I'm no aerospace engineer but it seems like it would be more efficient given the prop wash wouldn't hit the arms.
I would try using longer spacers under the GPS/Mag plate to avoid…"

Hugo Pereira commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Indiegogo campaign for safety device to support redundant Pixhawks/APMs
"Had it been a kickstarter I would have backed it. With Indiegogo they get our money even if the funding goal never gets reached and we never get our perks. Too many uncertainties, should have gone with Kickstarter."

Hugo Pereira replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.2 beta testing
"Hi Randy,I believe (correct me if I'm wrong Artem) that he means the use of motor spinning torque as means for yaw (like on quads). Is it correct that arducopter uses that even on tricopters, where yaw should be done by the tail servo? Otherwise,…"
