    Tau Labs Open Pilot forum is now Tau Labs forum.

    Those are the main 3 I listed above (Quanton, FlyingF3, Sparky) and of course it will run on CC3D. Also you can put a shield on a DiscoveryF4 for a more power, and VRBrain has a branch https://github.com/TauLabs/TauLabs/pull/557 . I also have a board Freedom which is useful for testing new...

    Tau Labs Open Pilot forum is now Tau Labs forum.

    You are talking about the same community that has driven away practically all development? I guess that does make it static. Not sure how supported it is given how many low hanging fruit end up hanging around unanswered (heck the auto-flipping feature in the last release was great and took 2...

    Tau Labs Open Pilot forum is now Tau Labs forum.

    BTW I would very much discourage anyone buying a CC3D at this point in time. Don't get me wrong - it is a great board and I loved developing for it. But now it's 3-4 years old and really limited. We keep maintaining it, but it doesn't really have the resources to improve further. IMO...

    Dang. I get all my days confused. Sorry, missed his question in all the text. It was user error. He typed the yaw orientation in backwards so the FC thought the front was the back and when it tried to go level obviously pushed the control surfaces the wrong way. It's an unfortunately easy...

    I just want to say I've met Jes in person and he is a nice guy and was very thoughtful in discussion about multirotors and flight performance. Also he was (as Al pointed out) great about making an amazing rig for testing/programming ESC (which unfortunately I didn't carry far enough when...

    I think this forum serves a useful purpose since it provides a place for people with OP branded hardware to discuss it and software that runs on it without having to toe a particular line or get censored. The fact people "on the in" at OP don't like it is because they aren't used to hearing any...

    Great, and thanks for the update. Good to know that is still working. Credit goes to Brian for the autoconfiguration / coordinator stuff. That is really slick.

    Don't use any of the bu_ files unless you have an express reason to do so. For CC use fw_coptercontrol.tlfw and for the PipX you _should_ be able to use fw_pipxtreme.fw. I've been using it on both my PipX and OPLink for a while but haven't retested the most recent versions so please let us...

    I would. I've been happy with how it's flying and heard good things from others. The fix has been in there for 7 months (never got out to being a user bug) so it should be good.

    Great to hear! And Bartman - I tested on CC and everything looked kosher.

    The community can all get together and say whatever. However, when the person that hosts the servers and has control starts kicking out the people who disagree it's hard to make it happen. There is one person meaningfully in charge so that is that. This is exactly what happened when the devs...

    I recommend starting here: https://github.com/TauLabs/TauLabs/releases/tag/master-20130811 Glad to have new people having fun. Actually you'll find for CC3D it levels better than what you probably experience before (which was pretty good). And it is much more reliable IMO. @Bartman - I...

    Aw, man. You guys should have asked us about that. We could have helped you out with the MPU6000 driver bug. We fixed that back in Feb https://github.com/TauLabs/TauLabs/issues/233 . I would have told you ... but well as the title says developers were banned :(. Great work Hyper! That...

    Sorry, I missed these comments earlier. Yeah, the guy who started the project is often a really nice guy but gets too passionate and carried away. Then when he decides he doesn't like someone he _really_ doesn't like them and there is no end to the lying and things he will do to discredit...

    Well at least they wised up and removed the post where they were blaming Oleg for the forums going down. So typical of them trying to scapegoat and stir up **** instead of acknowledging they just pissed off and lost another dev.

    Almost everyone I've talked to after they leave comments on how this cult-like mentality lifts and suddenly you notice how you got talked into treating people horribly and unfairly. I know I'm embarrassed of how I treated CheBuzz but at the time I was completely convinced. Luckily he's a very...

    Yeah Flylite, that's the truth. DA has a complete lack of integrity and sees the truth as fungible. Probably why he and Drone Savant get along so well. BTW Oleg, I should have said respect to all the work you did. He, more than anyone, really was willing to dig in and do the behind the...

    Sorry to hear that Oleg. That kind of mentality that anything that isn't involving getting an OP tattoo on your *** is treacherous is what is slowly killing OP. It's been so much nicer since the fork to be able to acknowledge the good things other people do and try and learn from them or...
