    Hoverfly Magnetic hold

    No that is for magnetic hold for yaw. The HoverflyGPS will automatically detect if an external compass is connected.

    Hoverfly New firm 4.8 PRO, problems with the roll of the gimbal

    We will take a look but there weren't any changes to this part of the code. Actually I we set up a gimbal (controlled by a HoverflyPro) Friday and it worked fine. I think you will need to check your setup.

    That's the first time I have heard anything like that kloner. Submit a ticket if it continues.

    Hoverfly Prop Stop

    A prop can't stop due to the firmware because we hold a reserve within the software.

    Hoverfly Mag Hold ?

    I am working on a new version of the manual incorporating a bunch of suggestions from our users. Altitude Hold is only on when you engage it with the switch. The GPS Info tab in the Setup client will show the internal magnetometer but not the external magnetometer readings. We are updating...

    Hoverfly PRO/GPS Firmware Update v4.8 Beta

    I agree the beeping drives me crazy too. That's why I PUT IT IN THERE!!!. We have a rule at Hoverfly...no one approaches the craft when its beeping. A simple flick of the rudder stick is all you need to restore peace and quite.

    Hoverfly PRO/GPS Firmware Update v4.8 Beta

    Yes ....re-arm the craft, launch, then activate Position Hold.... Good catch...I'll correct the release notes.

    Hoverfly PRO/GPS Firmware Update v4.8 Beta

    If you have AH on and fly then you will notice some altitude loss. When you stop it will re-gain your target altitude. If you adjust the throttle up while in AH then you will ascend while moving.. I'll have to try it and see how this works. It won't become unstable but it may rise more than...

    Hoverfly PRO/GPS Firmware Update v4.8 Beta

    Sounds like you have a bad connection to your GPS antenna or the module itself is bad. Remember there is currently no tuning on AH.

    Hoverfly PRO/GPS Firmware Update v4.8 Beta

    Beta means use care and test each feature until you understand how it reacts. A comment was made on the last 4.6 release that it should have been beta. We will move it to a release after people provide feedback. Having said that we have flown this code for weeks on several of our systems Venu...

    Hoverfly PRO/GPS Firmware Update v4.8 Beta

    AH is still activated by the switch as before. I just didn't want everyone to start trying to tune the AH gain because its been eliminated.

    Hoverfly Today's excitement, Hoverfly PRO beta firmware first flights

    OK....we were almost ready to release today but ran into some trouble. The new Mediatek GPS receivers (larger footprint version) are freezing up randomly. At the end of the day we are pretty sure we found the problem. We will test this Tuesday morning. Sorry for the delay.

    Droidworx or Cinestar?

    A few thoughts from Hoverfly. Gimbals. I wouldn't go with the AV130. The cinestar gimbal is much smoother, robust, versatile, and higher quality. Another option would be PhotoshipOne which is what we use on our Scripta and Erista. Keep in mind I have worked on a few cinestar 8 frames and...

    We are getting close on the Ground Station. The next firmware release will tell us alot about our readiness for releasing details about the Ground Station. I will talk with the team and get back to everyone on this.

    Hoverfly Today's excitement, Hoverfly PRO beta firmware first flights

    So far in the Beta we have. AH working as well as we can based solely on the barometer. This includes a very nicely controlled altitude slew at a constant descent and ascent velocity. Center of the stick plus and minus 10% is a deadband for hold-at-current-altitude. Above and below is...
