"Daniel,
I know this is old but did you have any luck getting your drone working on auto? I'm resurrecting a project that is similar to your's although mine is a track vehicle but uses the same controller and motors and the Pixhawk. I remember that I…"

"So what is the status of this system? Are you logging the positional data for post processing? Have you made any changes since you last posted? I noticed the range is currently 1 km is this due only to the radio being used? Could you increase the…"
"I didn't mean to mislead, there is no need to use the RINEX format for the actual real-time logging. A more efficient binary format would probably make more sense for the actual logging. As long as this format can then be converted to RINEX for post…"
"Darius,
My understanding of Ublox units is they are only L1 type systems to get to centimeter type measurements requires a L1, L2 GPS capable units. That is why I was recommending logging the positional information because this system is L1, L2…"

"I would recommend that you support the RINEX format logging for your unit. (https://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/data/format/rinex210.txt ) for the purpose of being able to get an exact fix of the unit used as a base station. Here in the US we have the…"
"How has your project worked out since this post? I'm just getting started with a similar project and wanted to know how much progress you have made in a year?
Thanks,

"Processing/classifying Point Cloud data requires knowing how to use the software and experience regardless of the software being used. Vegetation is why people use LiDAR because you will likely get points on the ground. LiDAR is an active sensor…"
"Here is a test site I did. 56 - 14 GB photos from Nex-5 alpha processed in Photoscan to generate the point cloud and ortho. The red arrow is pointing to a Bulldozer to give a sense of scale. This is roughly 35 - 45 acres. Ground points classified…"
"I reset my Tx to have a wider variation in the PWM scale between switch settings on the three way switch. I also set all of the intermediate modes to Auto so if there is variance it will stay in Auto which is what I think hotelzululima was telling…"
"Here is a surface model of the ground points from the field next door. I used an NEX-5 and photoscan. to generate the point cloud. TerraScan and TerraModel to classify the points and generate the model. I would look into GlobalMapper as well.…"
"Thanks for the help everyone. Newbee learning curve here. I'll give this a shot and report back.

"Thank's Tom. I'm using a Hitec Aurora 9 Tx and a Hitec Optima 9 Rx with the 3DR PPM encoder. So what I saw was the X-8 falling without power during the mode switch, then when it hit the stabilize mode (because of the throttle setting it climbed)…"
"I think I figured it out. When I setup my home position I didn't have the MP connected to the X-8 so it assigned an arbitrary value for the elevation. Newbee stupidity :)

"Check to see if Vcc dropped below 5 volts at the RTL point. This is what seems to be happening to me see http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/not-sure-if-this-is-the-correct-f...

"I'm wondering the same thing. Check out this thread I started http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/not-sure-if-this-is-the-correct-f... I'm trying to answer my own questions hoping it helps someone out in the future. I'm surprised at the lack of…"
"Ok I thought the VCC bouncing around was being caused by the 2 axis gimbal being powered before the 3dr power supply but this doesn't appear to be the case. Below is a VCC graph of a test flight just taken without the gimbal being powered. So what…"
