"Couple of questions:
- Will you have an API to allow other apps to communicate with the devices?
- Will multiple units be able to connect over an ad-hoc WiFi (no router or internet) network or 3DR radios?
- Any idea of vertical accuracy?"
Thanks. I looked at MNT_TYPE, but thought that the "3" that was set there was the proper value. I'm not sure if the meanings changed in 3.3rc1 or what, but its working now when setting it to 1.
"Upgraded to 3.3rc1 and it appears that the gimbal is not being controlled properly. The Tarot gimbal on my 3DR Y6 works fine with 3.2.1 (RC tuning knob, ROI, etc), but the only time I can get it to move in 3.3rc1 is to hit the servo low/high…"
"Arthur: Yes, rebooting made the DP logs appear - thanks!
Chris: Here's two logs. The first one has the first flight and part of the second (14:23 start). This flight started and I realized I needed a higher altitude, so I came back, landed and…"
"Chris: I checked that it was the latest version (2.4.2_rc2) before I flew the circle flights and I do have Enable Logging checked. However, I did not enable live upload."
"Well, did a couple of tests today using the DroidPlanner circle mode. First flight it worked fine, only had it do one circle. Put in a new battery and set orbits to 3. After first circle, copter started misbehaving badly (wobbled, dropped 5m alt)…"
Here's a pretty good news report about drones from a TV station in the Twin Cities. It covers a variety of drone uses and discusses the UND program. It also covers some political issues in Minnesota.North Dakota opens nation's first drone test…
"Well, incorrect documents are probably more dangerous than none at all. They acknowledged the errors and then probably decided to press ahead with deliveries w/o documentation while its being updated. I would've hoped that they'd at least give you…"
I've had the '14 Y6 for a couple of weeks now. I used my own radio (Turnigy 9xr), so I had to do the radio calibration and switch setup. I did calibrate the esc's, and I've recalibrated often as I've been flying in temps from 0 to 45F.…"
"@bigkahuna - I'm using one of these linear actuators. They're $140, but have the power and throw needed for my application. This model has a built in pot so you can sense the position. I have all of the hardware and can control everything from the…"
"I talked to some Humminbird engineers a couple of years ago and they said that there wasn't a way to extract the lat/lon/depth from the sidescan data. Does anyone know if that's still the case? If you could extract data from the entire width of the…"
"I've been working to do something similar the last few months. I have a fly-in fishing lodge in Canada and I'm working to map our lakes and create contour maps for our guests to use. I've been mapping the water for the last couple of years using our…"
