Povl H. Pedersen replied to Beatriz Palmeiro's discussion About Ground Control Station User Experience
"I fly quads, but now it is more planes. Hobbyist.
Used Tower on 7" Android, but since my tablet did not have Serial drivers, I could not connect 3DR radio. So solution was to use 2x Air radio, the ground radio connected to either HC-05 Bluetooth, or…"

Povl H. Pedersen replied to Dmitry Prokhorov's discussion Solution proposal for PixHawk IMU2-related BAD ACCEL HEALTH
"Any ideas where else we can find the VDD-3.3V_ANALOG (as that is what we are looking for ?)
I can solder larger things, but the SMD is not tempting. The board v1.7 seems to have a VDDA test point, but I can't find a board 2.4.6 diagram as pdf"

Povl H. Pedersen replied to Dmitry Prokhorov's discussion Solution proposal for PixHawk IMU2-related BAD ACCEL HEALTH
"Can I just take 3.3V anywhere, and then a 200-1k ohm resistor to ground ? Might be easier to solder somewhere else. And I am on Pixhawk Lite."

Povl H. Pedersen replied to muavdrones's discussion Current architecture of drone autopilots is wrong , Drone hardware architecture needs to be completely re-engineered.
"The whole idea of a multi-threaded FC would be to have the main loop do its job, and then you can add more and more processing on the other cores. You can add more sensors, image analysis etc that all use CPU, and then update the values in shared…"

Povl H. Pedersen replied to muavdrones's discussion Current architecture of drone autopilots is wrong , Drone hardware architecture needs to be completely re-engineered.
"What we need is a multi-core, multi threaded CPU, like current heap of cheap ARM quad and octocore. Have the flight control kernel loop bound to one CPU instance, and then leave the rest for all the other processing.

But it could also be done by…"

Povl H. Pedersen replied to Jacques Eloff's discussion Pixhawk being replaced with new version? in PIXHAWK
"If you look at dronecode, the Phantom 4 features are in development, Video over WiFi (latencyhas always been an issue for FPV), Collision Avoidance, Vision Processing....

As I see it we need a multi-core multi-threaded OS, where different things…"

Povl H. Pedersen replied to David Kershaw's discussion Flight mode confirmation??? in PIXHAWK
"There are multiple ways. The most common ones are:
1. MinimOSD with a video overlay showing flight mode
2. 3DR radio to ground station

But there is nothing that prevents you from listening in on MavLink telemetry, and turning on LEDs depending on…"

Povl H. Pedersen replied to Cala's discussion Offline maps instructions in Tower (Droidplanner)
"Instructions are no longer valid, as it is difficult to find you sers mapID - Need to enter som classic mode to get it. But, you can use these predefined Map IDs:


mapbox.streets
mapbox.light
mapbox.dark
mapbox.satellite
mapbox.streets-satellite…"

Povl H. Pedersen replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"I can only agree with JohnEx, so much better than the Semi-abandoned R800.
For forgot to mention auto-baud. I used 115200 for telemetry on my APM, as that was the only speed I could use to reliable download tlogs using 3DR radio clones. Any slower,…"

Povl H. Pedersen replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Installed 817, but can't get it to accept 818 on my Micro minimosd. Almost ready to solder the isp header. But 816 and 817 looked great at home. Too windy to fly."

Povl H. Pedersen replied to Darius Jack's discussion Who is legally accountable in case of drone crash reported to FAA ? in ArduCopter User Group
"Well, you are personally accountable for all actions you do.
The question is, if you live in country with more lawyers than engineers, where everybody is trying to blame somebody else, or if you live in a sensible country.

With drones,planes etc,…"

Povl H. Pedersen replied to Orlando Williams's discussion What drone should i get under the budget of US $300
"Not sure what you want the video for ?
Many people are seeing the drone as a camera platform, and many would be better off with a stick, possible a stick with a gimbal. For smooth video you do need a 3-axis gimbal. That is another $50-$100.
There…"

Povl H. Pedersen replied to Orlando Williams's discussion What drone should i get under the budget of US $300
"There are many drones around $100, most of them are fixed wing (called airplanes). They have smooth stable flight.
Look at something like the Bix3 for FPV.
Then start adding transmitter (unless you have), for another $50-$250 depending on what you…"

I am setting up a plane I have been flying in manual mode.My question is, how do I do the transmitter calibration ? The docs says to trim the center points before calibration. But what about end-points ?Should I calibrate with the same settings used…

Povl H. Pedersen replied to Paul Harris's discussion Low Price Pixhawk units out of China, anyone know anything about them in PIXHAWK
"Remember, we are from all over the world. So US legislation is not that important for most of the world. 
PixHawk Lite was "invented" by GoodLuckBuy as far as I know, not sure if there are any clones yet. Mine from BG came with GLB labelled…"
