Wow that's awesomely smooth. Could you post some closeup photos of the mount?

Regarding the "being behind the game" bit - one thing that can be done with OP Pro (maybe not as easily with CC) is actually use the control signals in the gimbal control, so you are actually predicting the change. Also it's quite easy to separate the maximum roll rates in our system from the...

On a quad I would say it already is, although we won't package up a new version for another week or two. The mechanical structure is independent of our software. For hexs and octo's, Sambas has been doing some work do use the PWM inputs as outputs but that's probably a bit further out. That...

DennyR, Definitely my setup is very suboptimal. I feel bad underselling CC that way cause I'm sure it could lots better. It's just not my thing enough to spend a lot of money on a good camera rig. Now the code is out there hopefully others can produce much better demonstrations of what it...

Ok video update to include actual flight. I don't think there's a roll problem. There is a vibration problem due to my mount :) You don't want to see the flights where the screw came out of one side!

Well I took it out and tested it today and I'm QUITE pleased with the result. There's vibes due to my crappy mount and the fact the quad was dragging almost a pound of lumber as a makeshift landing gear.

well that's definitely not how it should look IMO. Hopefully we won't have that but if so we'll try and address it. Does roll work properly when facing forward?

Yeah as crash said the roll jerkiness is the camera mount, not the code. Pitch is quite smooth. I also spent all of 5 minutes finding the right scale. I just wanted to get that out there. I think I can modify it to use a heli link and ball joint to have less slop.

Sounds like an event that should be filmed from the air to me...

Flying very nice. Do you have a second camera on there for the FPV? I didn't see a cable out of your GoPro. Yeah let me know if you have issues with the latest mac version. I remember you had a weird error about a plugin not being found which we may have to track down. There might be an...

Actually if those buttons are grayed out then it isn't detecting the board. This probably means your firmware is out of date with your GCS version. Did you update the firmware on the board with the files that came in your GCS download?

I have a few thoughts on this and no clear answer. I see it fairly badly on bumblebee which makes me wonder if it is related to vibration: 1) first check if the PFD keeps going flat when motors not running (after power cycling). if it does this it's probably vibration. 2) the reproducibility...

No the previous version still works but has the tricopter bug. I'm not sure why the new packages are crashing for him and am trying to figure it out.

Ok. It seems like GCS is thoroughly fucked on mac for now. You might want to try playing with the previous version until then. It will take me a few days.

Crap. I don't see that when I start up but I do get a segfault when I exit. A bug must have crept into master. We do try!!! I'll try and track this down.

http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/Doc/BumbleBee This is the build for my little quad. It flies pretty well.

Sorry you are having a tough time. I packaged up a new version of the latest firmware code and the tricopter fix: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6645063/OpenPilot-20110531-21741525.dmg One caveat: after updating you will have to connect to the board, go to to the tools menu and select erase, and then...

Hopefully by the end of the day. This is fixed already but one of the setting definitions changed (to allow yaw to be +180 degrees) and I want to make sure that isn't going to corrupt other settings.

And just to explain how to interpret that: Each column is an output (with type specified at top like motor or servo. the difference here being motors go to minimum when disarmed) Each row of the column is the weighting by each of the control inputs. Curve1 and Curve2 come from passing the...

I'm confused. I see everything looks fine at the end but from the paragraph before it sounds like there might be an issue still? If you are having problems drop by irc (click chat on the OP forums) and type peabody124 - it will ping me and if I'm at my comp we can talk real time (sadly I...
