John Klier replied to John Klier's discussion need help with failsafe settings
"A bit more information. I'm going through everything again step by step. In mission planner when checking the failsafe my throttle PWM goes up instead of down when I turn off the transmitter. It jumps from 1116 up to 1562. I'm assuming I did…"

"Hi Kristian,

Thank you for the reply. The hardware I listed was one of the recommended configurations over on the ardupilot wiki for use with the Pixhawk auto pilot.  I believe I did find the answer that I was looking for. What was throwing me off…"

Is there a simple way to convert the time stamps in either the ArduGCS ot the Happy Killmore GCS data files into real time? I need to be able to have the actual time so I can tie it to the photos that were taken at that given instance.

John Klier replied to Paul Mather's discussion HappyKillmore's Ground Control Station
"Is it possible to extract the time each line of data was recorded with this GCS? In the ArduGCS the first field is time from the start of recording. Is there something similar in this data file?"

John Klier replied to Paul Mather's discussion HappyKillmore's Ground Control Station
"I've got this program working with my Ardupilot with the exception of the battery voltage. It reads over 100,000 volts. Voltage reads fine with the original Ardupilot GCS. Is this a setup/configuration problem?
 
Thanks!

John Klier replied to John Klier's discussion relocating gps inputs on the IMU
"Here's a graphic of what I'm asking. Checking continuity with a mulitmeter I can find all but the one closest to the bottom. That one the solder pad came off and I don't have a good contact.
 
Help would be greatly appreciated as I don't have $100…"

The connector for the GPS cable was torn off my IMU in a crash. Are all of the connections for the GPS available somewhere on the header slots so I can rewire? I can get continuity on all but one but on that one the solder pad was torn off and I'm…

Some background information first. I've had my airplane flying successfully with autopilot for several months. I recently ordered the Xbee modules for telemetry. After installing the Xbee I was able to power up, get a GPS lock and see telemetry with…

John Klier replied to Jason Short's discussion Ardupilot 2.6.2
"I'll be able to try out 2.6.2 tomorrow. I noticed there's no header file in the current ZIP file. I assume I can just copy my existing, modified header file to the new folder containing the 2.6.2 code. Is that correct?"

John Klier commented on Chris Anderson's blog post New in the DIY Drones store: the ultimate Xbee adapter
"I am planning to add wireless telemetry to my system soon. I'm trying to understand the advantage of this new board over the previous adapter boards. Previously I would have needed this adapter for air and this adapter for ground. These two boards…"
