Stewart Loving-Gibbard commented on Phillip Kocmoud's blog post Introducing the AUAV X2.1 Flight Controller
"Good work on the remote USB connector, this was something I missed on the original X2 vs. standard pixhawk."

Stewart Loving-Gibbard commented on Chris Anderson's blog post VTOL FireFLY6 now available with APM-based autonomy built-in
"Guy McCaldin:
You are correct, while it seems sleazy, it is perfectly OK to charge for binaries compiled from GPL sources, so long as source is made available as well (see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney).
But that's…"

Stewart Loving-Gibbard commented on Andrew Tridgell's blog post APM:Plane 3.4.0 released
"I've been denied on drones-discuss for questions I felt were development questions - things related to code I'd wrote that had been accepted - but which a hurried or imperfectly informed editor might assume were user support. I've also had questions…"

"> I wish to start developing code,.. I also have a question about implementing CAN where is the best place to post ?

Stewart Loving-Gibbard commented on Andrew Tridgell's blog post APM:Plane 3.4.0 released
"Seems like new RSSI library did not make the APM 2.x builds? Understandable if so, but disappointing."

Stewart Loving-Gibbard commented on Andrew Tridgell's blog post APM:Plane 3.4.0 released
"Since you are using the FrSky X8R with a Pixhawk, you are using SBUS, correct? And unfortunately, the X8R doesn't support putting the RSSI on a PWM channel as part of the SBUS signal, which is what the current RSSI library offers.

But I do have…"

Stewart Loving-Gibbard commented on Andrew Tridgell's blog post APM:Plane 3.4.0 released
"Also, the above documentation shows values with two RSSI_ prefixes ("RSSI_RSSI_CHAN_LOW"). That's not how it will be in Mission Planner; I'm not sure why it is getting produced out that way in the online documentation, it could be some mistake I…"

Stewart Loving-Gibbard commented on Andrew Tridgell's blog post APM:Plane 3.4.0 released
"> Is there a new parameter to set for PWM RSSI support?Yes, you'll find the only available documentation here:http://plane.ardupilot.com/wiki/arduplane-parameters/#rssi__paramet... Planner unfortunately lacks the documentation in the UI so…"

Stewart Loving-Gibbard replied to Steve Cain's discussion Pixhawk PWM input for RSSI (EZUHF)
"CreativeBR:

Because ArduPilot hasn't been able to understand RSSI via a PPM channel, many users of EzUHF with MinimOSD found themselves forced to use a passthrough via the channel directly to the MinimOSD to get RSSI. This meant that while you…"

Stewart Loving-Gibbard replied to Matthew Gougeon`'s discussion Editing Ardupilot code for PWM RSSI input.
"There's now an official RSSI library in ArduPilot that covers this uniformly. Thanks for making this available in the meantime!

https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/pull/2770

This should be showing up in ArduPlane 3.4 and ArduCopter 3.4. Rover…"

Stewart Loving-Gibbard replied to Marc MERLIN's discussion Is rxrssi not being logged by APM at all?
"Marc, my patch to add logging of rxrssi was accepted this morning:

https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/pull/2804

I would expect it will show up in ArduPlane 2.4 beta 3 and beyond, and in ArduCopter 3.4."

Stewart Loving-Gibbard replied to zheng jishi's discussion Problem in pitch shake
"I had this problem and eliminated it by switching to ELEVON_OUTPUT from ELEVON_MIXING. I believe there is a bug related to the behavior of the elevon mixing mode; the developers have clearly marked the elevon mixing feature as deprecated in 3.3, so…"

Stewart Loving-Gibbard replied to Rolf Blomgren's discussion APM MavLink to FrSky X8R S.Port converter
"Is this Taranis only? I have a 9XR Pro, and with an XJT module installed I'd think the values would at least be available.

Does this work with the 9XR Pro?  If not, what would it take?"

Stewart Loving-Gibbard replied to Sandro's discussion I need help in crash investigation
"Thank you very much for the clarification. I really should start looking at the raw data points sometimes."

Stewart Loving-Gibbard replied to Sandro's discussion I need help in crash investigation
"I want to stress that I'm extremely new to log analysis, so please forgive me if this doesn't add to the discussion.

Tom, is it significant that current ("Curr") drops immediately before the pitch issues begin?"
