Richard commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Tablet Ground Station via Bluetooth Telemetry Bridge
"If it does not work at the first try, don't forget to try to switch the tx and Rx lines. Sometimes, the pinout-descriptions are missleading. Sometimes "Tx" means output, but on some modules "Tx" is input, so "connect to Tx".
One of my china radios…"

"@LTMNO
I've got the same. It is a version without the USB FTDI Chip on it but with a separate USB-RS232 adapter cable."

"Thanks, Arthur. Now, at least I know, how DP determinates which BT device to use.
I'll try to unpair all other devices and see if it works then.
Still uncommon that they did not implement a device selection."

"I tried to build the same with an HC-07 bluetooth module, but I have 2 problems:
1.) If you access the bluetooth COM-port in MS Windows, it takes a few seconds ti establish the connection. Mission Planner seems to timeout too early and will not…"

Richard replied to William Burkert's discussion Optical Flow Sensor v1.1 in ArduCopter User Group
"I also can't get v1.1 working. :-(
Wiring and module itself are definitely correct, because I can acquire images from the sensor with the test pde and the python script, but I also only get zeros for movement. (but different values for squal (64,…"

Richard commented on Denis's blog post Arducopter telemetry on jetibox profi
"Any news on this for APM 3.x?
I tried to implement it but can't get it running."

Richard replied to Graham Dyer's discussion HMC5983 temperature compensation triaxial compass replaces HMC5883L
"I tried it but had no luck.
It's kinda working, but as I turn it, mission planner shows me drifting the direction anywhere but not as it should.
When turning, North is showing every time in an other direction. :-(
If I remember right, the datasheet…"

Richard commented on agmatthews's blog post Creating an I2C sonar for Arducopter
"Regarding the 2nd call: even without having detailed info about the programming structure of Arducopter, from programmer's sight of view, your second attempt sounds the best for me: to tell the sensor to make another measuring soon after reading the…"

"Thanks for your quick reply, Randy.
I just downloaded the Ardupilot Arduino SDK and synced with git. (master branch)
In the rangefinder lib, I saw that the XL I2C seems somehow implemented. ...by you :-)


Can you give me a short hint how to…"

Richard commented on agmatthews's blog post Creating an I2C sonar for Arducopter
"I'm planning to add a Sonar sensor to my Hex.
Please, can anyone tell me, if i2c sensors are already implemented and useable in Arducopter 3.0.1 ?!
I really searched all over the internet but could not find any information regarding this.
Or should…"
