emile replied to Mario Vitti's discussion RC su Vrbrain 5 in ArduCopter Italian Group
"In teoria la tua ricevente supporta 8 canali.
Con i firmware recenti (dalla 3.2.1 in poi) è possibile collegare fino a 8 canali alla VRBRAIN, quindi non capisco il tuo problema.
Con SBUS avresti fino a 14 canali utilizzabii sulla scheda e in più…"

"CIao, per usaree il PWM tradizionale (1 cavo per canale) devi installare un 'custom firmware' che trovi qui:

emile commented on Roberto Navoni's blog post VirtualRobotix VR Spark 350, the Italian answer to DJI Phantom . (it's compliant to the New EU/US regulation!)
"Julien, in Italy you have to ensure you never go out the buffer zone (200m. radius around the pilot, and 70m. high) whatever happens. The only way to do this is to have an independent elctronics (or mechanics) that enables you to switch off the…"

emile commented on Mark Harrison's blog post The End is Nigh...
"I always try to imagine myself in those occasions and I can tell you I would never do that... too risky.
Does't look like the pilot is very confident as he tries to walk with the drone, and in fact the video stops just as it passes near the poor guy…"

emile replied to Reuben's discussion Copter turns before waypoint and cuts the corners.
"Hi, this is a normal behaivour because the virtual point that the copter follows is always in front and on the track of the next WP.
The only way to make the copter pass on the WP is that it has a very narrow angle or it has a 1 second stop on that…"

emile commented on Roberto Navoni's blog post The new plug and play VRX GPS NEO-M8 MULTICONSTELLATION (GPS , GLONASS , GALILEO) with HMC5983
"Hein, I can answer your Q.
Yes you can plug the GPS and Mag and just fly. You will have to redo mag calibration and eventually compass motor, though!
You will take advantage of the better performance of the mag and superb performance of the GPS.
At…"

"I would not recommend using RC override (the use of the smartphone to control the aircraft) until devs patch the firmware.
At the moment if you loose connection to the ground station you will not be able to regain control of the aircraft in any…"

emile commented on Roberto Navoni's blog post VR Tiger Shark X8 RTF + VR Gimbal fly test doing by Emile last week
"Jiro With 10Ah 4S battery is 3.8Kg
Need to work on some details to get it to 3.5.

@Euan, I know but the issues were with the radio had some wierd spikes on pitch (up to 2000) wich gave the gimbal very bad jitter.
This was a test and was not meant…"

"hello 4xdrones. No not yet. I will shortly implement a function to switch off 1 or 2 motors in flight. This was just the first test. Just to be sure everything works as expected."

emile commented on emile's blog post Testing X8 configuration without two propellers
"My X8 could get a little more weight loss, but I'm quite happy with it.
It is very agile compared to radial 8, lighter because it has only 4 arms and you can use the same motor mount for both motors. Then, I am using DualSky 10Ah batteries, very…"

"Hello, honestly I have not tested current consumption with same prop on bottom.
I did try using APC 12" on the bottom with not so good results. So once I switched to graupner and saw that everything was working fine and had less than 50% with a 4.1…"
