"Agreed that some documented sanctioned option should exist to access the analog pins outside of your, um, shortcut. In the meantime, your posts on this have been very useful. :-) - Tim"

"Good stuff James. Q: is this "how to" documented anywhere besides your posts? I've been building and reading the APM code for a few days and had no clue this existed. I would eventually have run across this in the code once I got to these files, but…"

"Ah! Your (old) post was my missing link as I was trying to decipher how my loiter_turns mission command was supposed to work (wasn't using ROI). My quad did indeed circle a phantom point that was directly ahead of it circle_radius away. For the life…"

I got my 3DR 2014 RTF Quad a couple months ago and have been flying/crashing it ever since.  :-)My first logs, sans prop balancing, showed high vibrations (so much for "RTF"). In hindsight, that was probably expected since I didn't balance the…
