"I have been told that GPS config is automatically done in pixhawk now, is this true?"
"Thanks for the reply. Does acro mode have "air-mode"? If your not familiar with this mode, most FC reduce PID values when thro is lower than half thro, this was done from long ago as quads did not fly with less than half thro, same with heli's. But…"
"+1, looks like the config file on the 1st page is 8 years old and for 5 series gps, what about M8N gps configuration and pixhawk? tia"
"So fast forward 3 years, I am curious how the "acro" mode is now. Is there still self leveling part of it or is it true rate mode?
How will it fair to betaflight? tia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHoFfpLSb2g&t=1s"

"If the mag (compass) is on the FC, then thats a issue, if its not, your fine."
"Majority use Invensense (now TDK) mems gyro/acc
Very common one is MPU-6000, its good up to 8KHz update rate, but for 32KHz we use IMU-20602 (and 20601). I prefer 32K for lowest latency for this type of flying.…"

"$60 PixHack on ebay., if you want to save money, APM 2.x are as low as $21 (on BG or xtxinte). Stay away from on board mag (or be able to disable them)."
"I could not find anything on double or triple flight time, nothing to do with making the motor/esc more efficient. Since the flight power train (motor/esc) uses 98% of all the other electronics on board, I have zero hope for the flight time increase…"
"Another option for a ~$10 mode switcher. Looks like PWM output.

"Personally my experience is "lower cost" multiple batteries in series/parallel has two fold benefit. If a cell in a pack goes bad, your only out 1/2 the pack (unless you know how to assemble packs with a simple spot welding technique, 99% don't). I…"
"you can see the shadow of the drone on the pavement very briefly at :59 seconds in and props aren’t spinning. It's on this dolly

"I would say no, why switch out all your connectors for these high price connectors, specially when they are the same (10 cent) resistor solution (all though yours use very low power SMT resistors)? And for $2 you have a lipo alarm monitoring every…"
"Nice find! (semi new product)
This is how I solve the battery connector arcing plug issue, for ~20 cents or ~$2 if you don't have the $1.80 lipo alarm.
First get a LiPo alarm for ~$1.80 each (or one for each aircraft), these are very loud and almost…"

"This looks very interesting. I have APM 2.5.2 FW 3.1 with CN06v2 GPS on 600mm quad and I routinely get +/- 1.5 feet land/loiter when HDOP is <1.6 (when they are not messing with GPS signals recently). I would think with all this new tech it would be…"
"I don't think you have to do the round trip, one way would be fine."
