"Thanks @Nadia. As the author of this hack, let me please add to this- you will get visual and voice feedback on the Solex app in all flight modes once the Lidar detects an obstacle. BRAKE mode is entered only in GPS assisted modes with the exception…"

Stephan commented on Tom's blog post iMavlink - iOS based arducopter ground control app - Looking for beta testers!
"very nice!
Will it work also with 3DR Solo by connecting via UDP into the Slo Wifi network (analog to what Tower does on Android, or MP on Windows?"

"Michael,
I checked the release notes - I could not find any statements that the Auto Analyze function is all of a sudden no longer supported on x86 machines with version 1.3.39. I would appreciate if you could look into this - since it was working…"

"I am on Windows 10.
Craig your response is a bit cryptic. The files are the same as the ones I could auto-analyze with the previous MP versions w/o problems right before the update to 1.3.39.
Since I am apparently not the only one I count this as a…"

"Thanks for having a look at that Craig.
Amazingly the error occurs to all logs I have, regardless if they are from Solo or my AC3.3 DIY drone....
The interactive review a log function works fine, though."

I just installed the update to MP 1.3.39 and realized that the Dataflash auto analysis is broken..bin files I could auto-analyze in the previous version of MP result in a "Failed to start LogAnalyzer" followed by a bad input file message wit this…

"I totally agree on a "donate" button for us users. Randy and team you guys are doing an awesome job with Ardupilot!

On the other hand for me it's understandable that 3DR cut funding- the vast majority of Arducopter clients are using cheap China…"

Stephan commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Control a 3DR IRIS+ by voice with an Amazon Echo
"Nice idea to use AWS IoT for controlling a drone!
In order to make it more simple and usable in the field, I would drop the bulky Amazon Echo and rather have a smartphone instead"

Stephan replied to Felix Meissner's discussion LidarLite working correctly? - SOLVED
"Interesting. I am flying a LidarLite V1 on PWM with AC 3.3.2.
Measurements are pretty exact and I don't want to miss it anymore
I also tested a LidarLite V2 on I2C with the same Pixhawk running AC3.3.2 with similar (correct) measurements.
I have…"

Stephan replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Thank you Randy for looking into this.
Please take all the time you need.

Btw it worked perfectly well with 3.2 and also no issues with Tower along with Solo.
A recent change on my end was to add a LidarLite via PWM.
warm regards
Stephan"
