Tobias Witting commented on Damian's blog post Another Drone KickStarter bites the dust ....
"if it sounds to good to be true, it normally is ;-) stable video without a gimbal can't work!"

Tobias Witting commented on Marco Robustini's blog post How to recover any multirotor "out of VLOS" using only the "self level" flight mode
"nice tip Marco. I'll try it out. My trick so far was: little stick forwards and a bit of rudder. After some yawing the copter will end up flying sideways and then you know where the nose is."

Tobias Witting commented on benbojangles's blog post New Raspberry Pi camera
"awesome! thanks for sharing. The specs are really good! Sony exmor (backside illuminated chip!!) And they kept the price. The only bad thing about the pi cameras is the lens. I haven't tried yet, but it should be possible to remove it and mount a…"

Tobias Witting replied to Jacques Eloff's discussion Pixhawk being replaced with new version? in PIXHAWK
"4. can be T-ed off from a TX line from 1. or 2. I even triple split and hook up lines to an OSD and Frsky telemetry via teesny from one telemetry port."

Tobias Witting replied to Randy's discussion PixRacer with Ardupilot
"Hi again, is it possible to configure RSSI? I tried with 3.4dev setting RSSI_ANA_PIN to 103 and RSSI_PIN_HIGH to 3.5. But no RSSI is reported in MP's HUD: "rssi: 0". I'm using an FrSky X8R receiver. RSSI is working ok with above configuration on a…"

Tobias Witting replied to Randy's discussion PixRacer with Ardupilot
"I've got 1.3.37 build 1.1.5932.22903 like yours. I normally click on Help/Check for BETA Updates every other day.
Just to make sure it is not Pixracer's fault I just tried to upload APM via MP to an AUAV-X2 board. Not working either. So maybe a MP…"

Tobias Witting replied to Randy's discussion PixRacer with Ardupilot
"Hi all, I finally got my pixracer. I managed to flash PX4 firmware using QGroundControl. But I cannot flash APM using Misison planner or APM planner. It detects the board, downloads the file, but then after a while a message 'error uploading…"

Tobias Witting commented on Jani Hirvinen's blog post New ArduPilot.org Discussion Forums Online
"I like it. I hope ardupilot.org will be more focussed on technology development and DIY again. In the last year "DIY"drones has become more or less just an advertising board."

Tobias Witting replied to Arnoldo Romero's discussion Hexacopter flips with no apparent reason
"Is this the first copter you are building? If so I would say that a 1m diameter 16inch prop beast is a bit ambitious for a first build. Why not try a small 250 or 300mm 'mini' quad or hex as first project to learn how these things work."

Tobias Witting commented on Alexandre Mainardi (Nuvem UAV)'s blog post Track air quality in London with Plume’s Pigeon Air Patrol!
"Great idea. I guess overall the air in London will be more bad than good news. But nice to have data to prove this! On your map I just get "MODERATE POLLUTION" or "HIGH POLLUTION" with smiley faces. What measurements are taken and is there any way…"

Tobias Witting replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"just had a look here: https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/milestones 
The AC 3.4.0 milestone is only 27% complete. I guess now that a lot of developers have had their support withdrawn by 3DR the dev speed might be slowed down a lot. I'm not sure…"

Tobias Witting replied to Luke's discussion 250 Racer Frame for Pixhawk
"I've fitted a pixhawk into an emax nighthawk 250 frame: http://makeitbuildit.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path...
the middle section of this frame is a bit wider than the zmr250 style frames."
