@Emlid
Maybe this helps motivate you to put some more effort into the reach project? I mean the software is still beta at best and the Pixhawk integration is nowhere. Also your "todo" list on your wiki looks pretty much the same as…"
"Hello Terus Team
I would volunteer to compare your RTK solution to the reach system, with which I have been working for the last couple weeks.
I`m building copters and planes as a hobby for 5 years now (mapping and photography). Currently I`m a ee…"
"They had a discussion on the Emlid Reach forum about the Pi Zero. The Emlid team said it would be possible to use with their Navio2 shield, but currently you would need an adapter cable to match the Zeros pins to the Navio.
"Raspberry pi 2 i/o shield are already available and offer 1GB of ram. Not that much bigger than a pixhawk. Or use the raspberry zero with a custom shield. Tiny.
So instead of using a lot of resources fixing the Pixhawk it wouldn`t it make more sense…"
"Because they tried to squeeze more and more code into the original Arduino chips. Which was obsolete for years anyway. Trying to program everything as efficient as possible makes development very slow, as Randy already stated.
"Interessting. Emlid has told me that they will use Golonasss/Beju and later on Gallileo as well for their RTK solution. Since as you say the number of satelites with good reception is critical.
The trouble with that is that the update rate of the…"
Reach RTK is much smaller and if you combine a base (250$) with a Navio+ flight controller with RTK lib for the same price as a Pixhawk without GPS module... Then it`s a great deal. "
"Impressive table test! I`m still messing around with my units. 7 green satelites on base and rover, but still no float/fix...Hmmm???
Anyway, great to see that it "should" work."
"Hi Hugues
I would recommend to look also at the XOAR beach wood propellers. I`m using the 14x5 and 13x4 on a 2kg quad and a 3kg Hex. Agreed, they are more expensive (2-3x), but lighter than the APC`s, factory balanced (well you can balance the APC…"
"Hi folks
I noticed that the vcc monitoring with the 3dr power module is not very stable and approx 1v to high (3s) .
There is no manual volt adjustment tool anymore, so I reduced the voltage divider to 9 and now it's almost perfect at 12.6 for a…"
"Hi there
If you are working on new manuals, are you also including new frequencies?
If so, I found the official frequency plan for Switzerland as PDF. There are some differences, ex the 433mhz Band you can use 1mW on some frequencies, but up to 2.5W…"
