Oliver replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.5 released!
"Just a quick thank-you note. Took 2.5.4 out flying today on my custom heavy 1.8kg Hexa, 1000kv Motors, and APM2.
PIDs standard apart from slightly reduced (-0.1) rate-P and stab-P.
Despite gusting 25-30km winds, flying was awesome. First time where…"

Oliver replied to David spencer's discussion Sonar help, again
"Actually same problem here. Uploaded some recent code and always get that 20cm reading. Was also suspecting a faulty sonar as I haven't used the quad over the rainy season. I better double check then whats going on."

Oliver commented on Oliver's blog post Give your Arducopter Mega (and APM) a voice!
"Yes Rui, you should get yourself one of the piezo's that make a constant noise when you connect them to the 5V rail. Using a PWM pin would be a waste of processing power and pins unless you want your copter to play a tune ;)"

"Hi Jack,
 
have been working on it Monday. Let me test it to ensure it does not interfere with anything and will upload it towards the end of the week.
 
Can you connect your Piezo to the 5V rail, just to make sure it beeps continuously when power…"

"I'll made some changes to the code, as the code that Jason had integrated was many month old and the surrounding code had changed as well. I will update/improve the piezo code and get it merged into the code base probably around end of week after…"

Oliver commented on Oliver's blog post ACM/APM Futaba T8FG (Super) Mode configuration for all 6 modes
"In Auto Mode you should have to give it throttle to start the programmed waypoints. Its a security measure. Strange the would just start in 1-5. You can always check the output PWM values in TEST mode to verify the values. if they dont match just…"

Oliver replied to Jamie Ahmed's discussion Help please - attopilot voltage/current sensor on AC2
"The wiki recommends not to use the Voltage sensor output on the ATTOPILOT, as the APM Oilpan has a better ADC.
So I have connected AN0 straight to the Lipo 3S tap (fused, just to be safe :) using the 3.9k resistor on the board.
AN1 is connected to…"

Oliver replied to Limebear (Rob)'s discussion Bullets or No Bullets in AC2 wiring
"If they are high quality (gold plated, etc) and designed to take the current I don't think there is an issue using them. The power connectors to the Lipo are connectors as well in the end and are not soldered. They take 4 times the current.
In fact,…"

Oliver replied to Jason Short's discussion Arducopter 2.0.24b
"Jason, thanks for this! Working nicely. Alt, Position Hold as well as Yaw work nicely for me. Also the Field Level Feature is great. While the 20/40 second auto trim feature is great, having the old way available (CH6 > 2Secs) was nice as it could…"

Oliver replied to Jason Short's discussion Arducopter 2.0.24a !ALPHA!
"Hi Jason,
 
could you check in the latest 2.0.24 into SVN please ?
 
best regards,

Oliver replied to Ihab Ali's discussion Loiter not working
"1) Did you have to reload the code with Arduino to get the channel 7 rest to work? I looked at the code(2.0.23) and the trim_accel() function is commented out so I assume this is what you did. I just want to make sure before playing around with…"

Oliver replied to Limebear (Rob)'s discussion Xbee telemetry kit for use in UK
"I initially had tried the 2.4 Series 2.5 (which are mesh type) and got quite a bit of packet loss on the serial even with low speeds. Since I changed to 900Mhz PRO (P2P,P2MP), the issues are gone and all my GCS's connect at 115200 without issue.…"

Oliver replied to Ihab Ali's discussion Loiter not working
"Hi Ihab,
 
I am also using a 330xs frame, esc and motors.I have very little wobbly with the default PID, but do see a little as you described. Went out flying yesterday and have tried Altitude Hold and LOITER for a bit. Altitude with the Sonar off…"

Oliver replied to u4eake's discussion Hexa chronicles : ardupiratesNG vs ACM2 code
"When you enable Battery Alarm in the code, the default is for the quad to go into RTL mode when the Battery treshhold is triggered."
