Richard Green commented on Graham Dyer's blog post ArduPilot Legacy - RTL & Loiter FPV Video
"I am still using 2.6 with IR detectors.
I found that 2.7 made the servos 'twitch' when at rest.
Do you have the same problem?"

Richard Green replied to Richard Green's discussion Ardupilot 2.8?
"Thanks for the swift update. I will wait patiently for developments.
I cannot do flight testing due to limited field time but I am willing to help in any other way that I can.

Jason - Congratulations on the new arrival. I know from experience that…"

May I first say how indebted I am to the DIY Drones Team for writing the code for the Ardupilot. Whilst v2.6 worked well on my Easystar when I tried v2.7 I got servo 'twitching' in stabilze mode. Jason thought that this was due to the amount of…

Richard Green replied to Michael Dean's discussion servo jitter
"I have exactly the same problem with version 2.7 (the servos are rock steady in version 2.6). I raised an issue here http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/issues/detail?id=19&can=1 concerning it. Jason thinks that it is a resource issue that can either…"

Richard Green commented on Jason Short's blog post Ardupilot 2.7 Beta
"I have just loaded 2.7 beta 2 onto my Easystar.

If I set SET_RADIO_LIMITS to 0 and input the limits for CH1 and CH2 then all appears well and the serial output is what I expect.

However if I set SET_RADIO_LIMITS to 1 the serial output is

"Just to clarify. Athough 2.5.03 is the first release of 2.5 that I have loaded I did have a similar problem with a pre-release version that Jason kindly looked into.

I have loaded the latest code 2.5.03 (I did not try the previous 2.5 versions) and made the amendment to get the GPS lock in Manual however I am having trouble getting Arupilot to read the throttle channel correctly. I have soldered the link on the…

A couple more pointers to my problem:-
After calibrating CH1 & CH2 I get

Richard Green commented on Jason Short's blog post Ardupilot 2.5 Beta
"As I understand it the min position of the throttle is read at start up as CH3_TRIM.
I am at a loss, however, as to how the maximum throttle value is entered (or read). I assume that it has something to do with the values in section 9 'Attitude:…"

"Jason, Is there any way to save these animations (this one and Part 3) to hard disc so that I can run them off-line? I have downloaded the fla from the zip file but do not know how to run it. There was also not a zipfile for part 3.

Keep up the…"

I have just spent about an hour trying to get a printout of the ardupliot code from the Arduino IDE. I cannot get the output to 'word wrap' so that, even using landscape format, some of the comments are truncated.There must be something obvious that…
