    Tau Labs FPV set up with CC

    I think aerial FPV video of the wedding is exempt. You could be the first person to get married with a pair of FPV goggles on. :)

    Tau Labs FPV set up with CC

    Cut the heatshrink at the motor. Their soldering is extremely poor.

    Tau Labs OpenPilot site feedback

    The above was a compliment by the way. :) Here's a gripe to make up for it: ;) Go to the wiki and search for something. Then try going back to the home page without hitting the back button. You can't. You should be able to click on the OP logo to go home. It goes to the wiki home instead. It...

    Mikrokopter Fresh build, need help please

    How long have you felt that way? :) //Shrink Joke. Spend some time reading the MK wiki pages. (Yes we know it's a huge PITA especially when you use a translator on the German pages.) They do tend to fly well. And they can also fly away well if not setup properly.

    Transport box design looking for right material

    They are nice looking cases. I'm impressed. They may be too nice to ship on an airplane. I have a theory that baggage handlers take great pride in doing destructive testing on others peoples property. BTW, I agree with Droider. They would make a nice coffee table. :)

    Mikrokopter MKTools - No connection?

    Yes and thanks for letting us know what the problem was. I was starting to pull hair. :p It's funny how the easy stuff tends to slip by. That's why we should ask for photos. You guys would be amazed at some of the bonehead things I have done on my CC frame. I put props on the wrong way on two...

    Mikrokopter Deja Vu all over again

    Looks like static discharge to me. You should touch some grounded metal before handling the boards. <sarcasm off> Are y'all still wondering why I bought a binocular microscope? That flaw was easy to see though.

    Tau Labs OpenPilot site feedback

    Whomever did the recent home page makeover did a very professional job. It almost looks like it's for one of those $30,000 copters that I will never buy.

    Transport box design looking for right material

    How about coroplast? It's like cardboard but made of plastic. I was thinking about making something like a drum case out of it.

    Mikrokopter MKTools - No connection?

    The USB powers the MKUSB even without the jumper. When the MKUSB is NOT plugged into the FC and WITH MKTools running on the debug screen, you should see a constant flickering on the TX LED. If no flickering change to the correct com port. The crack on the connector above is on the strain...

    Tau Labs Copter Control General Help Thread

    No I haven't. Thank you. I'll post there tomorrow. He has the same parts. I did have to fix the diode problem on my board to get RF communication but that still didn't fix the real problem.

    My Newb Okto2 Build Thread

    I haven't seen this thread so I may be restating something that's already been said. If you are serious about flying an expensive piece of equipment, get a decent temperature controlled soldering iron, a screw driver tip for the big wires, silicone insulated wire, heat shrink in many sizes...

    Tau Labs Copter Control General Help Thread

    9600 baud telemerty GCS and firmware dated 6-08-11. I tried setting up telemetry today with two Xbees. They are the XSC models so the radio link maxes out at 9600. I used 9600 for every link in the chain and I can connect to the CC board. I do not see any data though and the health gadget says...

    Tau Labs CC 1st flight, Having troubles fighting the wind.

    I asked the motor speed question in chat. Bottom line is that if the max motor speed is higher than what the ESC can deliver the firmware will still try to push it faster and it won't know that the motor isn't going faster and that could cause instability. Especially when playing rocket ship. ;)...

    Look at what the postman just delivered...

    I'm curious, what sensors are on it? Compass? Baro? (I'm still not going to buy one. Not open source.)
