Ultrafuge replied to Maxime Bourgeois's discussion using a RTK gps system for a windturbine inspection quadricopter project
"Maxime Bourgeois said:
- In the docs they advise to not use it as a primary GPS but only as a secondary, however I only have one serial port on my autopilot to connect a GPS. How did you solve that problem ? Is it still OK to use it as a primary…"

Ultrafuge replied to Maxime Bourgeois's discussion using a RTK gps system for a windturbine inspection quadricopter project
"Maxime Bourgeois said:

- What do you mean by " IF you have a Fix solution" ? Is it that hard to get a fix with a RTK system ?


Depends very much on the environment - you must have some satellites with high S/N. Between skyscrapers or in a canyon…"

"Hi,
the CEP of a standard GNSS is 2.5m, which translates into more than 2.5m error 50% of the time ! This assumes clear sky view, which you don't have as the mast and to some extent the wing will partly block the view for the GNSS, making things…"

Ultrafuge commented on keeyen pang's blog post Dragon Link V3 Advance system connect to Mission Planner via Blue Tooth for Dummy.
"Hi Thien,

I had the same problems. Tried 'everything' with MP 1.3.43 and nothing worked, finally tried APM Planner v2.0.24 and it worked immediately, did a reboot on Windows 10 laptop and power cycle on RX and TX and tried again with MP and it…"

Ultrafuge replied to UAV Skies's discussion Need help with PixHawk using Futaba R7008SB receiver with 14SG radio
"Usual mistakes other than SBUS instead of RCin, are using 12 channel mode instead of 14 channel mode and SBUS2 instead of SBUS (ofcourse the Rx must output SBUS signal).
Some of the newer MP versions made problems. Usually they would 'work' until…"

Ultrafuge replied to Igor Raskazov's discussion Rudder Travel
"Hi Igor,
basically you need to tell the FC the radio range (RC...) and the setup of your helicopter (H....).
'Radio Calibration' sets the RC4 values similar to these:
RC4_DZ,5RC4_MAX,1934RC4_MIN,1094RC4_REV,1RC4_TRIM,1514
The helicopter specific…"

Ultrafuge replied to Nurjan's discussion Function "trigger camera now" doesn't work on arduplane
"Hi,
not the same setup, but it works.
Arduplane 3.7.1, camera is triggered by IR using PWM signal on RC7 there is power on the servo rail. CAM_DURATION = 1, RC7_FUNCTION = 10
Right click in Flight Data, hitting 'Trigger Camera NOW' works for me.…"

Ultrafuge replied to marcelo siqueira lopes's discussion Arducopter MavLink To Hott Telemetry Adapter
"Hi,

With the original schematic (Power from Pixhawk to 'Vcc' I get fluctuating Rx voltage display. I get much better results by powering the Arduino from the Rx (Rx on 2s). Red wire goes to 'RAW' and NOT to 'Vcc' !!! Signal (white / orange) goes to…"

Ultrafuge replied to Dusty Kirschmann's discussion Futaba Sbus
"If you use a T14SG in 14-channel mode there is no SBUS-problem using R7008SB !
People who use SBUS-2 or channel-12 mode on T14SG should start reading manuals etc."
