Tom Busey commented on Paul Mather's blog post ArduIMU 1.8.1 Posted
"This is great. The two things I found most confusing when working with this code was how to set the flags and why we have to divide and multiply things like the altitude and ground speed by 100. HappyK's emulator makes it incredibly easy to debug,…"

Tom Busey replied to Ritchie's discussion Flight modes
"Does anyone know if it is possible to add more than three modes to the control modes? I have a proportional dial on channel 7 on my hitec eclipse 7 and I would love to be able to do manual, stabilize, waypoints and RTL on the same flight."
