Terry replied to Randy's discussion PixRacer with Ardupilot
"I don't have trouble with the front grommets but the back one came off with any speed. It's a small hole drilled in the post and a retainer wire. Works great. After a couple of cheap lea6's got flaky I bought the CSG unit with the 35mm patch before…"

"Thank you and, yes, a 3D printer would be ideal."

Terry replied to Randy's discussion PixRacer with Ardupilot
"Here's what I did with mine. The base plate is made from PCB material and is grounded for a second ground plate. For the cover I made a simple wooden mold and heat formed some plastic cut from an old black waste basket. The post is some 6mm carbon…"

"A couple years ago I was having problems with the internal compass offset being too high. Using a tape head demagnetizer on the compass chip and surrounding metal screws (mainly the chip) cleared the problem.…"

Terry replied to Randy's discussion PixRacer with Ardupilot

Terry replied to Randy's discussion PixRacer with Ardupilot
"I don't know if this is the place to ask but I can't find much information and I'm curious about the status of Copter 3.4. I see there is work going into getting it to work on PixRacer but I can't find anywhere where 3.4 is in beta test like 3.3 and…"

Terry commented on Andrew Tridgell's blog post A new chapter in ArduPilot development
"I hope the new organization is taking shape and thank you to all the developers that have put so much into Ardupilot over the years. It is very difficult to find any information on Copter 3.4 development so I hope someone here can give some kind of…"

Terry replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Maybe Randy or someone can answer this. 3.3 works with the Tarot 2d gimbal, does it also work with the Tarot 3DIII, and if not can this be included in 3.4? What I see of the 3DIII so far, it is a good and inexpensive gimbal. Also I am awaiting "boat…"

Terry replied to Randy's discussion Ardupilot on QC Snapdragon
"I fear for 3DR as they, sadly, seem to be falling behind. Hopefully this is an indication that they will be using the Snapdragon but, whatever the case, it is good to see Arducopter being ported to another platform. I'll be watching closely!"

Terry replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"I had my first EKF inconsistency error today. I've been flying 3.3 rc5 for many flights over the past weeks with no errors but this occurred at take off and my quad flew fine in Stab mode but anything using GPS was locked out. I landed and…"

Terry replied to Doug Walmsley's discussion GPS Issues - Do I need a GPS Ground Plane & EMI Ring?
"Here's the way I have my CGS M8N setup and I've had no issues running 3.3 rc5. It's mounted on a copper clad board that is grounded and all the wiring runs through the CF pole. 12 sats inside and 18 outside with HDOP consistently 1.2.  I'll do a…"

Terry replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Thank you Pit. What I discovered is the sonar is working and I can clear the arming check by lifting the quad provided that I am on a hard surface (not grass). I don't know whether it's the sonar causing problems or that the check doesn't allow…"
