"Jason,
Thanks for the reply. My test course is along a quiet, slightly meandering road where I live. 14 waypoints and slight changes in direction for the main, about 80m between waypoints. Allows me to drive with plane on dashboard, xbee telemetry…"

"Jason,
Thanks. Can you help me understand 2.5 vs 3.0 vs incorporation of the replacement of the IR with IMU?
I'm trying to debug a nasty problem that seems to have occurred since 2.4, but is also coincident with a nasty crash/rebuild, which may have…"

"David,
Thanks!
Nigel"

"Chris, Thanks. I had not realised that there are podcasts available. I have looked on your blog, but it is not clear how I can download this podcast (maybe not yet available), or any previous ones. Could you point me to the URL?
Thanks
NIgel"

"When 2.5 is released will it be possible to get a list of changes (added features, bug fixes)? Also, to help those of us who make changes to the software (eg to print out different variables for telemetry/debugging), is it possible to have some sort…"

"Chris, Yes I changed this for the v2/blue shield."

"No, I only have 2 cell. The only other thing that has vhanged has moved from SW version 2.3.1 to 2.4. I haven't looked at the code for the battery yet, but would think thsat unlikley to be the source of the difference."

"That is, to my understanding, the voltage output of the regulator, not the battery. But my point, which perhaps I didn't make clear, is that when I had exactly the same setup, reported thew voltage correctly with the v1 shield. Has the resistor…"

"I just tried my first time with my Shield v2, and it is reporting the battery Voltage too high - about 14.4 V from a 2 cell LiPo, which should be about 8.3 v. Any ideas?"

"Chris,
Thanks. I don't understand why it does not matter which way is up. I'll take a look at the code, but any hints would be well received..
Thanks"

"Chris, One more question which I posted before but no reply. I could not get a Z only IR detector, so I'm using an XY one instead. Can you confirm that the correct way to mount this (in the same left hand side of fuselage position, is with the cable…"

"Can we have an update for v2 shield? The reset position has moved. Should I connect the reset switch to the RST hole & the "-" hold adjacent & in the direction of air pressure sensor?
Thanks"

"Apart from this thread, I can see no reference to V2 Shield on this site, and no release notes/"what has changed" in the 2.4 software release.
Where can I find this information?
When will V2 shields be available from Diydrones?
Can a V1 shield be…"

That was a lot better. The controls were much more responsive. The rudder moved much more, and clearly in the fake-bearing walk-around test.
I then drove the carpark route, again following the rudder movements in my car, and it took me to…"

"Hi,
Thanks for this. I have incorporated the different settings into a new version of my easystar.h file. I have only included the changes that do not relate to reversing the direction & gps type etc.
I will test this evening when back home & will…"

"Chris,
I am using the reccommended EM406.. It appears to work fine. Lock comes on quickly, and the data it sends is accurate. I also use the standard FMA xy & z IR sensors.
Than$ks
Nigel"
