"Chip -- you are leaving comments on the "Comment Wall" section of the DIYDrones forum, which is not a great place to ask questions.  (If I were king, it would be disabled.  There is the ability to start a discussion here in the DIYDrones IRIS forum…"

John O'Shaughnessy replied to Kate's discussion GoPro with IRIS in IRIS
"The difference is that if the GoPro WiFi is on, the interference is at your IRIS.  As the signal gets weaker between the IRIS and your transmitter, the likelihood of interference from the WiFi increases.  With you using WiFi from your phone to you…"

John O'Shaughnessy replied to Local Idiot's discussion Circular Polarized Antenna For Non FPV Transmitter and Receiver in IRIS
"That's a good question.  My guess as to why the CP antennas are talked about/used more with the video is that there is a lot more bandwidth required (not sure if that is an accurate term for analog video, but you know what I mean) for the video…"

John O'Shaughnessy replied to Ryan Sinclair's discussion Iris Crash and Titicaca in IRIS
"It is possible, but based on this note, it appears that with code previous to the 3.2 Beta, the process can leave the logs truncated, thus the suggestion to pull them directly from the card.…"

"I hate to keep point you at different area, but I'd love to see you get the answer you need.

I'd suggest you post in this log analysis forum.

"Just a note to people commenting on the IRIS group "wall."  The wall is not a great place to put something if you expect a reply, as there is no threading.  Instead, use the option to "Add a Discussion."  This will create a note thread that can be…"

John O'Shaughnessy commented on Ramon Roche's blog post Droneshare Update
"Yes, the option to set to private (and/or the option to share with developers) are good to have.  A buddy and I flew my IRIS a week ago, and it was great to be able to send him a link to the flight data.  Sharing the recreated movie is especially…"

John O'Shaughnessy commented on Justin Martin's blog post Get ready to gear up for Reno Air Races!... But wait, there is more!
"Nice!  A lot of full-scale pilots I know are very skeptical of "those little RC things."  Maybe this will help.  As a full-scale pilot and flight instructor, there is a lot of FUD to break apart between these groups."

John O'Shaughnessy replied to John O'Shaughnessy's discussion Need to disconnect/reconnect battery between flights? in IRIS
"I'm starting to wonder if that was it. I flew a full battery yesterday, and landed and disarmed at least 4 times. I was able to re-arm and launch each time without disconnecting the battery."

John O'Shaughnessy commented on Stefan Olofsson's blog post Iris Plus
"Looks like new tall landing gear, a new placement for the telemetry antenna, new prop attachments, and who knows what else!"

John O'Shaughnessy replied to John O'Shaughnessy's discussion Need to disconnect/reconnect battery between flights? in IRIS
"Thanks for the additional data.  I'll investigate further.  I was hoping to get out today for some test flights in the back yard, but by the time I charged the battery, it had started to rain.

I'll try to capture more information about the…"
