Matt replied to Matt's discussion Micro filament on Tethered UAV
"I would have thought it would be more than just fitting the maths to suit the cable diameter.
Maybe something with ultra low resistance like superconducting wire."

Matt commented on Patrick McKay's blog post Bill Introduced to Ban Hobbyist Drones in Washington State
"Do they have bills like this for general camera use, because it's pretty much the same, it just flies a bit higher."

Matt commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post APM to CHDK Camera Link Tutorial
"@Jeff,
Do you normally fly in Tv mode with auto aperture?
What are the recommended settings?
Our photos from 69 meters are ok, but they are not as sharp as I think they could be.
Thanks"

Matt commented on jim C.'s blog post mapping with condor drone and apm 2.5
"Can I ask how you got APM and mission planner to trigger the photos?
We have tried to get the trigger to work at waypoints and it didn't work.
Also, do you have a log of your nag course? How strait did your plane have to fly for this?
Cheers
Matt"

Matt replied to Matt's discussion Rx RSSI parameters request in ArduPlane User Group
"I made contact directly with FRSky and they had the following information.
So all that would be required to support the FrSky receivers would be an option in Mission Planner config to accept 0-3.3v or 0-5v (or some Zero to other-voltage-value) …"

Matt posted a discussion in ArduPlane User Group
Hi,I have FRSky which seems to output 0-3v for their RSSI, whereas APM 2.5 code seems to use 0-5vI'm not a programmer, but I can see it would need a small code tweak to rescale the 0-5v range to 0-3 by multiplying it by 0.6. Correct?Optionally, it…
