"might be a good idea to add a small ic that notices a loss of battery and deploys the servo parachute. Should be simple to incorporate and would allow a servo to pass the pwm trigger signal through for manual triggering as well. "
"High GPS HDOP : the GPS’s HDOP value (a measure of the position accuracy) is above 2.0 and the vehicle is in a flight mode that requires GPS and/or the circular fence is enabled. This may be resolved by simply waiting a few minutes, moving to a…"
"You could also go into the parameters and raise the HDOP required value. I had a similar situation and raised it to 3 with no problem. "
"Looks great. When will they be available for sale?"
"I have a homemade quad that is similar in shape and size to the IRIS with landing gear made of carbon fiber rods and powered by the iris. The only difference is that mine is an x configuration and has arms of the same length. My quad when landing…"
"How do these handle flat field corrections?
On the quarks you have to manually cover the lens as the image degrades to allow it to flat field and recalibrate itself. Is this the same with Lepton? "

My apologies for the confusion. I bought an early IRIS with a tarot gimbal and had several crashes which destroyed the original tarot mount. I found and 3d printed the Tarot gimbal mount (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:274349) and had a…"

"Great work. If I could give one warning form my testing is that the IRIS gimbal adapter plate relies on thin cylinder walls around the attach points which failed for me in flight. My USB cable acted as a safety cable until I landed. "
