"Does anyone know if the connector type on the PixHawk Mini on 3DR's website is JST-SH 1.0? That is the connector type of the PixFalcon, which I believe is the predecessor to the Pixhawk Mini. I'm finding cables in the JST-SH 1.0 format to be hard to…"
Sorry for the broadcast nature of this, but hoping I can connect with someone quickly on this. I am eventually hoping to have aerial contour survey capabilities on my ArduPlane-equipped MyTwinDream, and/or a to-be-built multi-rotor running…
"My only question is whether those sheep are clones..."
"I have had problems for months trying to auto-analyze data flash logs on MP, to the point of giving up. I run Windows 7 on a 64 bit Sony VAIO. I tried again yesterday using latest ArduPlane and latest MP and it failed yet again. Short session,…"
"Nice work Tridge and Michael. I look forward to modeling some of my e-gliders in X-Plane for use in this new facility. Tridge, how's the thermal performance of the 747? ;-)

"Looks very appealing to this ArduPlane noob who is just learning flash log analysis in MP. Agree with James, it would be great if MP could be enhanced in this direction.

"@Sam, FYI, I have ArduPlane 3.5.1 fully functional and reasonably well tuned on a Radian Pro, with PixFalcon brain, digital airspeed sensor, Dragonlink Advanced v3 for long range RC and telemetry, PFV cam and HD cam with DVR on board. Looking…"
"Thanks to all who laid out the necessary bread crumbs here for me to find my way through this today. I was able to install python, run the conversion script, install and configure Dashware, and get a basic overlay working. Anyone know of custom…"
"Congrats Marco. Would you tell us a bit about your RC link, telemetry gear, and FPV gear? Also, do you track or graph mAH per kM as a measure of efficiency? Or perhaps mAH per minute if it's not about distance so much as endurance? Another fun…"
"In a remote part of a country outside the US, away from commercial and GA air routes, I have taken a Phantom 2 with gimbal and GoPro up over a mile AGL on numerous occasions, for AP reasons. I descend in what DJI calls manual mode, which is…"
"I am excited to see autonomous soaring interest growing here. To Gary's point, I am happy to chuck one or more of my Radians or Radian Pro's into the sky with ArduPilot test code on board. I am nearing launch of a PixFalcon based system, with…"
"Simon,
I know you assembled this tutorial some time ago, but I just discovered it today, and thoroughly enjoyed the limited time I had clicking through it. I look forward to having more time to benefit from it, and thank you for bringing the fine…"

"Sam,
Would you mind emailing me at kfoster@baldmountainllc.com? I have a few questions regarding ardusoar, and a few answers by you could save me hours. Thanks,
Kelly Foster"

"Sam,
Sorry to hear about your tree'd Radian. My very first RC flight was an RP that ended 40' up in a big oak. If we weren't on opposite sides of the pond I would send you one of mine.
I pulled the trigger today on PixFalcon (HobbyKing package…"

"All,
I have been researching the various programs on DIY for auto-thermaling, including Sam's work, and others. Really fascinating. I just ordered a PixFalcon and associated peripherals for first go at it in one of my gliders. I am coming from…"

"Sam & others,
I just discovered Ardusoar, and joined DIYdrones to be able to participate in this exciting system you have pioneered. I have a number of gliders, Radian, Radian Pro, UMX Radian, Magellan-XL 2.5M, and Gracia 3.1M. The last two, if…"
