About Me:

Airplane modeller since 1982. Relatively new to electronicly assisted flights. But..... very fascinating.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Just had one quad that left me (flew off into the bushes). My own fault. Building a new one now and will be more careful.

"I bought my Pixfalcon from HK. But I have placed many other orders at Banggood. I have nothing negative to say about them. Just waiting for the "Golden" Pixhawk mini and some other stuff from them now"

Ragnar Myhre replied to Nicholas Witham's discussion Pixhawk-lite vs PX4mini vs pixfalcon
"I wouldn't say "very very". It cost $ 89,99 at Banggood and others.
I'm compiling a comparison sheet. Not quite finished yet, so contributions are welcome. I have just installed the Pixfalcon (from HK) in a 250 size quad and so far it seems to…"

"The connectors are Molex Picoblade. It's a little different from Hirose DF13. "

"I'm sure I had no loose props as they are fixed with a 3 hole mount.
Embarassed to say that I have not checked the Low Voltage Cutoff on my ESC. However, I'm using the HobbyWing Platinum Pro 30A ESCs. The factory default for these are "Middle" and I…"

Ragnar Myhre replied to Ragnar Myhre's discussion Crash caused by battery failsafe problem?
"Very interesting that you have the same problem. I have experienced the same "lean over and crash" before also, but then I was even less experienced and did not look at the log.
As I mentioned in my first post, I saw the arm LED blinking just before…"

"You can say that again! This is also my experience. The FrSky telemetry however, does a perfect job."

"I was outside and I also waited until I had a GPS lock before arming. So I don't think that's the problem.
How have you set up your voltage alarm?"

Ragnar Myhre replied to Ragnar Myhre's discussion Crash caused by battery failsafe problem?
"Thanks for your answer. However, it does not answer my questions.
I have the Taranis TX, X8R RX and the FLVSS LiPo sensor. This works like a dream and I can sett alarms at any level I want.
However, initially I wanted to use the functions in the APM…"

I have been struggling with getting meaningful warnings about low battery. Thus, I have installed a small panel with 3 LEDs; one for arming connected to pin A7, one for GPS connected to A6 and the third for low battery connected to A5 (I wanted to…

"Where is the firmware? The zip-file in the arducam-osd download area doesn't contain any hex file."

Ragnar Myhre commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Tutorial: Connecting other GPS modules to ArduPilot
"Sorry!!
Made a mistake here. The connectors are not Hirose DF13. (I ordered some and they don't fit perfectly.)
I have looked into it further and it seems that the connectors are Molex Picoblade. I have orderes these now and will confirm when I…"

"Here are the Hirose DF13 plugs for APM and PixHawk. As you see it's just the ground pin that is different. You can buy the housing at DX."

"I have connected the IO-board to the APM and to the FrSky receiver according to Jani's diagram ( http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/adding-more-features-to-ioboard... ). But I'm not getting any data through to the Taranis.
I have also configured…"

Ragnar Myhre commented on Scott Berfield's blog post Adding External LED Indicators and a Piezo Beeper for Arm and GPS Status
"Very interesting with the external LEDs and beeper. I have installed it and it works fine. However, I'm not happy with the beeper. Cannot hear it through the motor sound. I suppose it can just be replaced by a LED as long as the current drain is not…"
