"I realize this is quite an old post, but I came across it trying to find out how to change MP from generating the GE file with absolute altitudes and instead include the relative as none of it looks right when played back, you bounce along the…"

Nathan Asdourian commented on Charles Blouin's blog post Motor and propeller test jig.

"I have been finding some odd behavior with the compass in rc1 as well, I updated from 2.9.1 and did not think about re-calibrating and my hex flew great on a perfectly still night. Then on a flight the next day I found the compass seemed to drift…"

"I don't suppose there is a way to make this able to respond to multiple i2c address inquiries?

Nathan Asdourian replied to Pieter van Woerkom's discussion Shielding your sonar cable.
"I will likely get some flack for this one but since it is working very well for me, I thought I would post and perhaps I will get some new ideas out of it that may make everything work even better.
