    Alexmos 32bit

    I have to dig into that again tonight..... forgotten a few detailed steps. Best to avoid recalibrating the accelerometers after they have been done correctly. Just recalibrate the gyros..... Also with remote control of pitch and yaw, adjust them to various angles and listen for any buzzing at...

    Alexmos 32bit

    How is your Yaw IMU mounted? Above or below the Yaw motor? Yaw drift tends to be an indication that the Yaw IMU gyros need to be recalibrated..... they drift a lot. Also you should find that the yaw drift is reduced when you have the BGC configured for heading versus follow mode. Follow mode...

    Alexmos 32bit

    Ronan, I assumed you were using the latest firmware which is: 2.42b7 not b6..... First you have to replace your GUI with the latest - from the BaseCAM web site. I think you will find it works a bit better.

    Getting beyond 8 RC channels

    Rilot, If I can find a FASST receiver that can run more than 8 traditional outputs, I would be all set (with or without s.bus). Just need one or two additional output channels. In any case I will look for an s.bus to PWM converter for a reasonable price. I know someone has shared their hack...

    Major Solar Storm NOW - GPS risk!

    In nearly all cases the satellites are not affected by solar activity but the earth's atmosphere is..... and that is the main problem with GPS as explained here: http://gauss.gge.unb.ca/gpsworld/gpsworld.july00.pdf Time is so critical for GPS position accuracy that the GPS Satellites are...

    Getting beyond 8 RC channels

    Since the RC Transmitter is FASST, a Futaba specific feature, I don't think the FrSky XR8 will work with the existing RC Xmitters we are using.

    Getting beyond 8 RC channels

    I am looking for a compatible RC Receiver that will enable me to get beyond the current 8 channels I am using now..... Futaba T8FG Super with R6208SB - A FASST system with s.bus. Is there a compatible Receiver available from Futaba, FrSky or others that will allow me to use more of the T8FG...

    Radio Interference

    Radio jamming is just excessive RF noise.....that degrades the SNR....to the point where the RC receiver cannot distinguish the signal.....The DJI FC response is the same as it would be for lost radio communication, i.e., will return home even if radio communication is reestablished.

    As far a fighting interference...... To be fair to the Futaba's competitors I will PM you.

    Radio Interference

    Futaba Hobby RC radio system technology has been leading in most areas for several decades, in large part due to that technology being first developed in the big money industrial business realms where the demand for high QC and safety are paramount. Consider the extreme requirements of SAE...

    Radio Interference

    Anyone who has completed HAM radio training knows just how easy it is to disrupt almost any radio signal, deliberately or accidentally. US armed forces were able to disrupt radio communication over an entire country in the Middle East some years back. A simple high power carbon arc lamp can...

    Alexmos 32bit

    if you are not getting any IC2 polling errors and you are holding the assembly steady, then it is possible that the three wires are not connected from the motor to the BGC correctly or the motor direction is set opposite to that required in the software. Another possibility is that the yaw port...

    Client edited our vid and here it is

    tombrown, IMHO Both look good and they only cut 11 seconds off yours to get their optimum within the 2 minute attention span allowance. I suspect they are very happy with your work as are most of us. Given an option, considering our very short flying season, I would try to sell raw video and...

    That is a typical error message when the pole count is set incorrectly...... based on my personal experience.

    How Do You Avoid Sparking During Battery Connection

    Also make sure you connect the opposite barrel end to the anti-sparking terminal. It provides heat dispersion so that the ring insulator on the resistor tip does not melt.
