    Hey Dave, I didn't know you were an UNKLE fan. A few dear old friends of mine from Baltimore joined the group a couple years back. They were originally brought on board for live performances, but then ended up recording some of the tunes on the last album. One of my favorites...

    Tau Labs OpenPilot GCS Mixer setup

    Hear, hear! Even though I have had some minor set backs getting my system up and running properly, I'm still more excited about the possibilities with OP than anything else I've looked at recently. Good job, guys!

    I would be the one to break new ground. ;-) I can send power to the rx and see what happens. I figured I would take a multi-meter to it first and confirm that the BEC is working correctly.

    Hey Buzz, I'll check the wiring today after work, but I have it installed exactly as you mention. It was working during initial testing, so I doubt it's the wiring since the copter never moved from the bench with props off. I guess the BEC inside the ESC could have gone bad, but that would be...

    Ok, so it continues. Just to recap, I was having problems getting my yaw to work in a tricopter set up. Thanks to the help of those in this thread I was able to figure out it was a bug in GCS overwriting some settings on save. A work around was shown in one of the videos, but it did not help...

    Agreed, the custom view saves a lot of time and puts it all in one view. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Srry to be confusing. The original problem of not have yaw servo working is still there. I think I just need to get my hands on the new GCS build for Mac when it's available. Any idea when that might be? I would catch up with you on IRC, but I'm out of town right now and only have Internet...

    You were half right. After looking over some of the other mixer settings, I did find that I had previously set another channel to servo (channel 5) and had it set up for yaw and roll I think. After resetting all those the yaw did stop moving with the throttle, but still no control from the...

    Tau Labs RX wiring harnes

    I'm going to give it another try today, but I had mixed results yesterday with the recommended solution. While I was able to get some signal sent to the yaw servo, it was the wrong signal. It just tied to the throttle channel. Every time I would give throttle up, the yaw would rotate on...

    Tau Labs Prop directions

    So I have a simple question. In my GCS when I select tricopter I see prop rotations of ccw, cw & ccw for motors 1,2, 3. I have mine set up cw, ccw & ccw. In theory it seems like it shouldn't matter, but I want to confirm here just in case. Anyone know?

    Do I need to set anything under output? I don't see anything for Yaw in there.

    I have set it, but I think you are correct. It doesn't appear to save it correctly. I can get nothing but a little bit of servo chatter. No stick response. I tried channels 5&6 as well and same thing.

    Dankers had it... sorted me right out. Now I have something else acting up though. The yaw channel in my tricopter is not working as expected. The GCS can see the movement of the stick, and it allows me to arm the copter with the Yaw Right action, but it doesn't actually send a signal to...

    I'm sure that's it. I'll check it in the morning. Thank you kindly, sir. ;-)

    Tau Labs RX wiring harnes

    Thanks for the quick reply, I may not have explained this properly though. I have loaded the pwm firmware and can connect the board and see the everything interacting, I just don't get the proper response from the sticks when I compare it to the ones on the screen. I push right stick seems...

    Tau Labs RX wiring harnes

    So my CC showed up today. I've been able to get it installed & firmware loaded and have worked my way through some of the configuration, but I'm hitting a stumbling block and I'm hoping someone can help me diagnose the problem. For some reason after I run the rc input calibration and then...

    Hey Ross, You know, we were wondering the same thing prior to this test, but it seems to be ok. The printer that we used has several finishing options including none. That's what we went with, it's just super flat and not gloss or anything.. feels like raw canvas really. And the paint sticks...
