"Tom,

You are correct, without a script to follow it really doesn't "do" anything. If you look at the JSBSim manual online there is a decent section on scripting. Also, take a look at the other scripts in the /scripts folder. However without…"

"Tom,

Ran the new file this morning and I think it still has the same issue. It will probably be easier for you to trouble shoot if you can run it yourself. I have attached a .zip file that has the JSBSim executable in it. You should unzip it and…"

"Ohhhh, I was confused, I thought you had actually ran this file. I will give the new one a whirl and see what happens. I should let you know that there is a big difference between getting JSBSim to read in a model and actually getting that model to…"

"Tom,

Had I mildly successful lunch. Got JSBSim compiled and running. It craps out reading the rascal model though. This is the error: "FGPropertyManager::GetNode() No node found for aero/function/CLwbh
The property aero/function/CLwbh is…"

"I don't have the file here at work, but it was very basic. Essentially just a propulsion file with one parameter: power (in watts). I am going to try to compile JSBSim today and see if I cannot get your rascal to work with an electric motor. Between…"

"If you don't mind me asking what is your target audiance? I never even thought about selling anything. In my world all I see is the big names quickly locking up the UAV markets, and certainly the IMU/INS/EGI markets. Also, how is that atomic board…"

"electric.xmlTom,

The web site stripped out the xml from my post. So I have tried to attach it as a file.

"Tom,

Mike works...

Well what I know about electric motors is (and the accuracy of this I cannot guarantee):

1. The (theoretical) torque output is constant from 0-max rpm. I suppose this means that the power output is also constant.
2. I believe…"

Michael Primm replied to Caleb Chamberlain's discussion Best setup and pinout for 6-DOF IMU
"Caleb,

Personally, I would like to see a 6DOF board that has outputs for the raw sensor volatages. That way the MCU, sampling, digital filtering, etc. would be left up to the user. This could also reduce the price somewhat.

As far as free texts on…"

"Tom,

I would like to collaborate, but I think you are farther along than I am. Also, I am not sure we are going down the same path, are you programming an autopilot in JBSim? I plan to use Flight Gear/JBSim as an air vehicle simulator only. I will…"

Michael Primm commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Creating a full hardware-in-the-loop simulator
"Funny that Mr. Anderson made this post yesterday... I have been stalking :) these forums for awhile now, since I finally decided that I was going to act on this UAV idea I've had for a long time. I actually signed up to bounce some ideas off the…"
