Engadget was running this story today and thought you guys might like to check it out. http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/10/japanese-ball-drone-knows-how-to-make-an-entrance-video/

Hey guys, I've been pretty busy lately and haven't been on here much, but I did get a little time last weekend to take some new pics and start a new Flickr feed. I wanted to share it with you lot here. Some old ones mixed in with the new stuff. More to come soon...

Hey Buzz, Thanks for asking, I did get a good accel bias calibration. I have a small bullseye level I used to get it as flat as possible before hand. Once I finally got it to show up in GCS I set the craft nice and level and then ran the calibration. It seems to have helped out a lot, but...

yup, you got it Buzz. Random timing I guess, but the BEC in the ESC was not putting out the proper voltage when I checked it with a meter. It had been previously working, but I just switched over to one of the others and all has been fine so far. I spent the weekend flying and am feeling...

So sorry to see this thread, but I'm sure you will be back in the air in no time. Good luck!

I'm on Mac, but I have a virtual PC set up that I installed 5/22 GCS & put the matching firmware on the CC board. It works now, but I'm not trying to restart GCS anytime soon. Just had my first flight with it so far and it seems pretty solid, but I still have to get it trimmed in proper. It...

It's basically MS's version of flash. A way to present rich media with animations & so on.

Crash, are you on Mac or PC?

No luck at all. Matched all software on board & GCS still nothing. Did notice that my device id changes from 401 to fff. Seems dodgy to me if it has to identify a certin board that something like the id would switch like that.

So any idea why I can not get the attitude calibration page to show up in GCS now? I know I've seen it before, but now I just see a page telling me that this will be updated depending on which board is detected? Last thing I have to tune, but it needs it bad. I can see it out of level in the...

My GF2 finally arrived. Now I just need to build a bigger MRC to carry the thing. ;-)

I guess the first question would be which platform to use. It seems to me that most people fall into 2 camps for this type of work. Final Cut Pro or AfterEffects. I would assume that this was done on FCP? BTW, lovely video. Me and the lady sat up and watched it several times last night...

With a little luck, I should have some great video this weekend. The organizers of a local music festival have asked me to come and film their stage set ups the day before they open the gates. It features 5 stages with some of the best lighting rigs you can find. I don't know how well I'll be...

YAH! FINALLY, I got it all working. Of course, it's to late to get a test flight in tonight, but I have everything working finally. Just to let you know though, the tricopter bug that was found in the Mac version of GCS seems to also exist in the PC version. Even after i wiped everything...

I don't know if this makes any difference, but I did install the QtSDK prior to getting a full build from you guys. I wouldn't think that would have an impact on a compiled app, but I wanted to throw it out there in the interest of full disclosure.

The worst thing about those RC Timers is that they seems to vary wildly from one batch to the next. I pretty much had to replace all three the last time one went up because it was a huge difference from one to the other.

No problem. I'll be testing it later this evening and will post my findings then. Thanks!

I have Parallels installed on this machine. Can I just install the PC version for now? That's what I have done in the past with other PC only flight control software.

Thanks!

No luck. GCS throws an error upon loading and then crashes. I have the error log at http://elevatedelement.com/coptercontrol/GCS_errormsg.txt and the initial error message:
