  3DR Controller Prototype Testing
  
  Hi everyone,

  We're doing some user testing for new prototypes at 3DR here in Berkeley Ca. If you are in the Bay Area and would be interested in testing and giving feedback on the prototypes, please drop me a line. We'd love to get your feedback and thoughts!

  Installing Boscam 600mw Transmitter. Does it have to be placed far away from the GPS module. does the transmitter interfere with GPS or not?

  how do i get the logs off of the iris. it doesnt seem to work in mission planner. i had a minor crash today. iris was doing some weird stuff in stabilize mode. i am trying to figure out if it is pilot error. I had control, was making a nice decent after the iris had done some things i had never seen before, just decided to fly west. 99.9 sure i was giving no inputs, as i made it to the ground it took off again prop hit ground and it flipped over. broke a prop no biggie. i could have sworn when it took off i tried to climb out of it. lost my faith in the RTL when it started flying on its own. too bad cause rtl had saved me twice before.

  Well, I tried out the new 5,000MAH batteries today. The fit snugly in the bay and with the Deans connectors I put on the Iris the bay door closes nicely. I got about 12mins of aggressive fly time with GoPro3 and 2-axis Gimbal. Very happy with the performance and durability of the IRIS. I've crashed it several times now, once 20ft up in a tree and 3 times into the ground. Pick it up, dust it off, re-arm it and off I go ;-)

  Have anyone experienced this on IRIS?

  Circle radius 0 (panorama) rate at 72, IRIS stops circling every 3-4 turns and does a 1/4 circle opposite direction as if it's trying to correct something.

  I don't get this at slower rates like 18 or 36.

  See video (sorry for the flip)

  I tried the procedure described here to bind one of the remote receivers from an AR10000 Rx with my Dx8 and Dx9, however I failed to find the "Click on Bind in QGroundControl". Spent a few hours digging through the scattered documentation, and reloaded the Pixhawk firmware. Gave up and reconnected the FrSky Rx.

  Then spent several hours trying to fix the horizontal leveling to the Tarot Gimbla. That was an interesting exercise.

  The FrSky may has some technical advantages, but the transmitter feels like what it is;a value-engineered product Completely Handassembled In North America (CHINA). It just doesn't feel or balance like the Spectrum. I fly with a neck strap and pinch the sticks. A thumb flyer may feel differently.

  I have another question: I have a FS TH9X transmitter for my IRIS. I really don't know much about this transmitter and I think the IRIS version has had software modifications. My Questions: 1 How do you change the display contrast?

  2: Has anybody converted to the Spectrum DX8 ? if so what should I look out for during the conversion. The robotics techs did offer great pointers, but I would love to hear from those who have do it at home.

  Iris is not in beta or developer anymore what we have are the consumer versions.

  Did you run the MP wizard if so this may have caused issues, reload the Iris parameters.

   

  Also the support forum is documented above community and 3dr have been helpful there.
