"Hey. The Home is tricky. It is also misleading. When you connect your tablet or PC at the field, and it reads the Home position before the GPS lock, it will give the Home position that was last valid.
"I looked at your website. Nice. Correct the typo though. ("I my free time")
I will read your design doc in more depth, so please expect more feedback later.
For right now, please let me share my prototype: http://droneatc.ca
It can coordinate…"

"That's the idea. Right now, I have 2+ simulated drones reporting in to a central server, and that server can send MAVLink messages and alter the headings of the drones connected to it.
My algorithms need work though. It's been a while since I did…"
"Do you know the commands needed to get the drone to go to a set of GPS coordinates, without interfering with waypoints already entered? I'd like to set the mode back to auto and have the drone continue on its path.
Python script would be great.…"
"I won't give up, but this is for civilian use. Military have their own solutions. I trust you've heard of the switchblade? http://www.wired.com/2011/10/tiny-kamikaze-drone/
If I had military funding, I'd be done this already."
"When you tip the plane in stabilize mode, does the wing that's up have its control surface raise towards you? It's like it's trying to "high-five" you."
"Did you set the maximum bank angle? I set mine to 45 degrees max, and that seems very docile.
Are you using an air-speed sensor? I had problems with one that was soldered slightly wrong. Don't use an air-speed sensor until you have something…"
"Does it happen when you are at full throttle? Bixlers can easily be under powered when you put more in them.
Two things:1) Mod your Bixler with a bigger engine. Then you will spend less time at high draw.2) get the power adapter for the APM 2.5 …"
"Here is my log file.
45percentLoiterFail.zip
Just around 45% of the way through the file, I put it in Loiter. It circles, but loses altitude.
What happens before is other stuff, and you can see fails throughout, but this is the one I'm most…"
