"Hi

I am having trouble uploading the latest release to my T 3.1, I go to the lines to config it and I presume I am removing the '#' in front of the Teensy options? When I do this it wont compile. Sorry if I am missing something!…"

"HI Devs,
Has something changed with MAVLINK from 3.2.1? I have a an app that works perfectly on an APM3.2.1, but on my PIXHAWK running 3.3rc8 it doesn't get the correct descriptions for the flight modes; although it will still switch them.

"Hmm tough one, personally I thrust the RC5 release. There is no guarantee though as most builds are different, but as I said it works for me! ;-) "

"Tarrot 680 Pro (hex), Emax 3510's and 1355 Carbon on 4s flew faultless 'out the box'. Ahead of the flight I redid the compass, flights modes and accelerometer, that's it - everything else I as stock as I had completely erased everything from before.…"

Hi,One of the selling points of the Pixhawk, apart from being excellent, is it '32-bit failsafe co-processor' - but how do I test it, or know what it does?Is there a routine I can simulate to test it?Cheers,Mike

"@ Dev team,

RC Inputs. Is there away to using channels RC13-16? The Taranis (and many others) has loads of switches, especially with the 6 position mod and I would like to add just a couple more switch options.

Cheers, Mike"

"Hi Paul,

Do you think the onboard sonar sensor will ever be supported? I just wondered if 3DR should be informed as they are selling them still. Funnily enough the eBay far east version doesn't come with the sensor and is a fair bit cheaper.…"
