"Hmmm... anyone know of 100m x 100m of pavement in Colorado? I'll spend some time in Google Maps. "
"I finally got to re-setup and test with the new APM and it seems to be working fine. I'll be stopping by Sparkfun some point later today to do some testing on the track. Thanks again for the offer!"
"That is super awesome of you Kirby. If you don't mind, I might take you up on that? In the meantime I ordered a knockoff off Amazon that I should get today. So if that doesn't work out I might contact you (I am local). I really appreciate it!"
"I checked via the I2C port (innermost v. outermost pins) and am only getting ~ 0.07V"
"I have not. Where is the best place to check it?"
"The uBlox GPS red LED is on and the blue LED is blinking. There is a green LED on where the GPS plugs into the APM, but no other lights on the APM when plugged in via usb."
Hi folks,I was doing some testing before the AVC next weekend and everything was running pretty well. While connected, all of a sudden I couldn't get GPS lock anymore and when I looked, none of the APM lights were on (while connected to USB). I've…
"I didn't realize that was your project at first. I'd happily help out! Mind you I'm not a very sophisticated user. I'm just now starting to mess with OpenCV."
"Thanks Tom! Apparently I'm bad at the searching..."
Hey folks,I'm looking into things to improve my AVC performance for the next competition. My current idea is using a secondary processing unit for some OpenCV object recognition (specifically, the barrels). Last year, I used a single sonar and…
"Ankle Biter (running APM 2.6) took 3rd in the Micro/PBR! During morning testing, my V+ to my sonar severed about 30 minutes prior to the first run. The APM took the unpowered sonar as it detecting an obstacle, so all it wanted to do was turn right…"
"I have no telemetry setup, so no battery monitoring.
By just visual observation, the car varies by maybe 1.5m at most when running on the same waypoints?
My plan with the single sonar is to just have the waypoints slightly favor the inside line and…"

"I did find # of satellites, and it hops between 12 and 13."
"Thanks Thomas!
I'm getting ~ 3.75 m/s as I have the course measured at ~ 245m?
How do I find out how many satellites it locked and the HDOP?"

"Did some quick testing today. The car now has single-sonar obstacle avoidance. Took me a while to dial that one in. Had to tilt much more than I expected and extend out the action distance to have it reliably avoid stuff.
But the car is running the…"

"Did some testing at Boulder Resevoir. This is what the starting line currently looks likehttp://imgur.com/ICLmSDd
My car may have tried to wedge itself underneath one of the porta-potties..."
