Matt White commented on Hai Tran's blog post ArduIMU+ V3 camera gimbal stabilizer on IndieGoGo
"Has anyone tried Michael's code yet? I don't have an ArduIMU yet, though I do have an oilpan + APM combo that I've been considering building the same thing for. I wonder if with a few small changes you could actually use Michaels code on that…"

Matt White commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post DIYDrones Magnetometer issue resolution
"Got it done... Fantastic difference with the Arducopter in the configurator. I was getting up to 10 degrees of jitter previously, now it's less than 1 degree. Glad to see I'm not crazy after all :). I'm excited to see how this affects GPS hold, as…"

Matt White commented on Jani Hirvinen's blog post ArduCopter Beta 2 release--GPS position hold, altitude hold and more!
"Still not sure why I can't get a better reading out of my mag... I've recalced the offsets several times, all with similar values in the end, and I just can't seem to stop getting around +-5 degrees of jitter. I've moved everything away from the mag…"

"Thanks for the tips, guys! I thought I had done it pretty thoroughly, but I definitely could be wrong... I'll have another go with it and see what I can come up with. I'll report back either way :)."

"Has anyone else had trouble with jitter on the mag? I found http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/issues/detail?id=66, which seems to describe what I'm running into very well, but that issue has already been fixed.
 
Basically I'm doing all the offset…"

Matt White replied to Chris's discussion gps progress
"I'm curious as well... I'm following the RSS commit feed on the main repo and haven't seen a whole lot of ArducopterNG work going on. I'm flying the alpha just fine, but I have a uBlox sitting on my workbench ready to go!"

Matt White commented on Matt White's blog post Arducopter photos followup
"Thanks for the heads-up on those isolators... I've actually looked around quite a bit to find a generic source of them so I'm not buying all MK stuff (just so it's a bit cheaper), and haven't found a good source of those. I definitely had those in…"

Matt White commented on Matt White's blog post Arducopter photos followup
"As to the GPS, I didn't include it because I'm not using it right now... The current public alpha doesn't use it. I do have a uBLOX, but since it's not included for flight I didn't put it in :). I pretty much put everything in that's in the air or…"

Matt White commented on Matt White's blog post It's ALLIIVE!! (My Arducopter, that is)
"While flying this afternoon, I had a friend at the controls and I pulled the landing skid a couple of times to toss it off balance while hovering on it's own... It responded VERY fast every time, but with hardly any oscillation after the recovery.…"

I got my quad off the ground this morning and it worked perfectly with NO tuning needed! NONE! And I'm not using a stock frame either, I'm using a Mikrokopter 50cm frame with some modifications for vibration isolation (just an extra platform with…
