About Me:

I'm a computer engineer that worked a lot with software development as well integration. I like to DIY things and like a lot to build aircraft model planes.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Initially just as a hobby having more challenges than just fly airmodel planes. Worked with a Brazilian team to participate the UAV Outback Challenge - Search & Rescue - october 2012. Deliverable 2 passed! See www.abequar.com.br for more details.

Omar Achraf commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Some recent features added to the Mission Planner
"Nice features!
May I suggest that the screens PIDs can also be opened in flight screen?
I often felt the need to be seeing altitude, speed and attitude while setting PID values.
regards,
Omar"

"Great work Andrew!
About OBC new features, it is possible to set the number of attempts for GPS Loss as well for COMMS Hold if GPS signal returned as well GCS Heart Beats regained?
If time out on GPS Loss it will trigger that Pin you created in the…"

Omar Achraf commented on Andrew Tridgell's blog post new ArduPlane feature - geo-fencing
"Hi Tridge, I was having some troubles with the geofence max altitude value. My values set are:
FENCE_ACTION,0FENCE_CHANNEL,5FENCE_MAXALT,1000FENCE_MINALT,0FENCE_TOTAL,6
The breach_type triggering is FENCE_BREACH_MAXALT. I take a look in the code and…"

"Hi Michael,

Is there a way to load more than 175 waypoints to the APM 1.X?I see in the code that the space is calculades based on Memory addresses and space for fence.
I tried with a mission having 207 WPs. It completes the load but when read from…"

Omar Achraf replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Unreliable barometric altitude (Arduplane 2.30)
"Did someone had problems with your APM1 barometric sensor BMP085? My one is providing a strange measure of 116353 for the GND_ABS_PRESS and 2200 deg for temperature. To check this I used the barometer test code at…"

"Hi All, Another sugestion:
If APM is set to use throthel Fail safe, if it leaves out RC range, it engages RTL. If RC signal restores, APM is automaticaly set to the current mode from the switch mode. I forgot myself this behaviour 2 times.
Could I…"

"Another suggestion:
An ACTION to command FLIGHT_TERMINATION.
MAVlink Packets like this could be used for those ones participating UVA Outback Challenge and are changing APM code for it ;-). Or to command the same IO pin the current APM code…"

"New battery Monitor suggestion:Monitor 2, 3 or 4 Batteries

Would it be possible to monitor up to 4 batteries?
For example, to use the AN1 for bat 3S, AN2 for bat 2S, AN3 for other bat 3S and AN4 for a Battery of 6S, each one, if necessary to use an…"

"Hi, more one suggestion:
The KML Overlay feature could be extended to overlay the flying map too? This will be helpfull to see the "geofence" of a challenge event like UAV Outback Challenge ;-).
kind regards,
Omar "
