Rich Beckwith commented on Randy's blog post Copter-3.4's polygon fence
"Randy,  Any chance you could ask Michael to include a "clear polygon fence" feature?  Still a bit unclear on how to remove mine now that it's in place."

Rich Beckwith replied to Alex's discussion Pixhawk / Dual UBEC Distribution Board VI ISSUE
"Matt,
Thanks fore the heads up on the Mauch boards.  I have had a heck of time finding power modules > 90 amp.  I was going to try a AttoPilot next,  but the Murch board look like a great option.  My heavy lift hexa is capable of drawing > 170 amps.…"

Rich Beckwith replied to Alex's discussion Pixhawk / Dual UBEC Distribution Board VI ISSUE
"Alex,
Have you tried entering a value in the measured current box, something like ".3" for 300 milliamps?
Current and voltage sensors will always need to be calibrated.  You may need to give it an initial value to work with, and follow up with a DVM…"

Rich Beckwith replied to Randy's discussion PixRacer with Ardupilot
"I see what is going on now - evidently copter picks these up from the telemetry modem as it is plugged in.  I had been moving between Telem1 and Telem2 trying to determine why Telem1 was reliable and Telem2 was not.  FYI - these modems work…"

Rich Beckwith replied to Randy's discussion PixRacer with Ardupilot
"Has anyone else noticed issues with SR1, SR2 values...  I had trouble connecting with telemetry to Serial 2, and discovered that its SR2 values were as listed below.  All other values for SR1, SR3, etc were all zeroes.  Oddly enough, after saving my…"

Rich Beckwith replied to Randy's discussion PixRacer with Ardupilot
"Has anyone been able to get FrSky telemetry working with their PR?  I have verified that my X6R Receiver is sending telemetry with an FLVSS voltage sensor.  I have also tried an X4R which is sending telemetry perfectly with an SPRacingF3 flight…"
