RobCa commented on Jimmy Oliver's blog post Zano-style ONAGOFLY has big talk but...
"Cool frame... but spending $80 for a frame that needs to be completely replaced in case of hard crash is not a good idea for me. I prefer to have separate frame and PCB

This module (GPS only, no compass) weighs just shy of…"

RobCa commented on Jimmy Oliver's blog post Zano-style ONAGOFLY has big talk but...
"I believe it's definitely trouble, and IndieGoGo is even worse than Kickstarter in their policies. so it's definitely a "stay away" red flag
But unlike the Zano (which was impossible from a physics point of view: too small for the weight, and the…"

RobCa commented on Jimmy Oliver's blog post Kickstarters' Zano in trouble
"And, predictably, they officially folded. The Zano is now officially dead, 12K people (plus probably another 2-5K preorders lost their money (it hurts to see that some people backed Zano with 3 or even 4 units, some people have lost more than $1k).…"

RobCa commented on Jimmy Oliver's blog post Kickstarters' Zano in trouble
"Almost by definition, drones on KS are to be avoided. As many other people have said, drones are hard, but also a good business. Pretty much any competent team that can deliver a drone will have no problems finding real VC money and VC support…"

I have an extra "dash" on the screen, not sure where it's coming from.…"

RobCa replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.2.1 Beta Testing
"Turns out I'm doing it wrong... I claim temporary insanity, helped by the Arducopter wiki

I can now arm it by doing down/left, and disarm doing down/right. The Wiki says I have to do down/left both to arm and disarm, which at least in my case is…"

RobCa replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.2.1 Beta Testing
"Posting here since it seems to be more active than the 3.2.1 release thread

I installed 3.2.1 on a miniAPM. I'm using a Mode 2 radio, and I can arm in Stablize mode as usual: left stick down/left for a couple of seconds.

If I try to immediately…"

RobCa replied to RobCa's discussion Using Spektrum-compatible DSM2 satellite (Lemon Rx) with APM 2.6
"Answering my own question. Jimmy's pull request (http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/spektrum-satellite-directly-to-apm) was not accepted (yet?), so there is no Spektrum satellite support in Arducopter for APM, just Pixhawk

Bummer, it would have…"

Is anyone using an APM 2.5.2 or 2.6 with a Lemon Rx satellite receiver? I'm trying, and going nowhere. I have a Lemon Rx DSM2 satellite receiver (http://www.lemon-rx.com/shop/index.p...&product_id=98), correctly bound to my Tx. I have the Tarot…
