"I have been having some character jumble issues after applying the recent copter update (R719) to a 3dr version 1.1 board and found a post on RCGroups stating that this version of the board has to have 12v (actually they stated that even 5v would…"
"Sorry I was late to test.... Had to leave town for a bit (sometimes work gets in the way of a good hobby :)
I like what rotating from landscape to portrait or vice-verse is doing now... in my case both instances revert control back to the…"

"Hi Kevin,
Here is the latest with my testing on 1.6.04 (Nexus 7)
1) Switching from either portrait mode (fixed again, thanks) to landscape mode or vice-verse causes the "Show Joystick" menu to become greyed out and unusable. I did some more testing…"

"Hi Kevin,
My thoughts on 1.6.02
1) Portrait mode on Nexus 7 no longer works. Just a black screen with no Google Earth and one can not switch between screen modes like before
2) Throttle - zero at midstick is a bit bothersome as it is VERY easy to…"

"Every now and then I get a Loiter "zinger" shown as a linear pitch/roll command by the APM in the image. This only seems to happen in a high wind situation (16kts gusting in all directions to almost 20kts). The loiter will appear as if it is holding…"
"One more fpv/minimosd video showing two short Loiter segments in a 20mph gusting wind using 3.0.1. Check out the "HA" (Altitude) shown on the right side of the screen. Loiter holds even in the heavy gusts. Also interesting is the vertical speed…"
"Wow! Loiter much improved with SimonK esc's! I don't know how many hours I spent trying to kill the SimonK wobbles but they seem to be gone now. Congratulations on the great work!
Here is a video of Loiter 3.0.1 in winds 12kts gusting to 15kts...…"

I have been playing with an APM1 on an old quad and needed to reference some connection settings but it looks like all the setup pictures are gone from the legacy apm 1.4 pages... If you dig you can find the verbage but no pics...…
"Kevin,
My latest flights have not had any "unknown" conditions. I assume this is because you fixed it. Thank you very much!

"Congratulations on some terrific coding. I am very impressed how exactly two auto missions flew exactly the same pattern."
"I have been running a combination of 600hz SimonK NextLevel ESC's , 880KV motors with GemFan Wood 12X4 props on a stock 3dr quad frame. This combo is producing crazy oscillations that can be seen in the attached log file. I have reduced the Rate P…"
Kevin- here is the link to the .tlog file... I have also noticed that numerous small-sized files are created for each flight... some of them .tlog... some of them *.tlog.tmp. Using a Nexus 7. Most often the "good" .tlog file is created with a…
"Having a lot of weird issues with the pre-release R559 (copter) on v1.1 board... for some reason the video is not outputting the entire osd screen area...at :18 seconds into the video most of the characters drop and then at 41 seconds into the video…"
"Fantastic work ! Thanks so much for the ever improving OSD functions.
I do have a question regarding the "home" indicator. I am still using Copter 2.2 and in the attached video (I know you like videos) you will notice that the indicator does not…"

I get the following error when trying to see if Mission Planner has any updates (clicking "Help" --> "Check for Updates"). Any ideas what is causing this? - thanks
