Hoverfly Pressure Sensor Foam - How to mount

[ghaynes]

Finally got everything setup on my Cinestar as I change from an MK stack to HF. Trying to dial in AH. Got a bit exciting the first couple of settings as it shot for the moon.

On the MK they have always suggested foam over the pressure sensor (different design) and it makes a difference as it dampens the response. So I want to try a piece of foam on the HF but am scratching my head on how to hold it on. I've got a small piece of Double Sided tape for a temporary fix. But would like to hear what others may have done to mount the foam.

I'll add the GPS board this weekend so maybe I can just sandwich it into place?

Thanks

double sided tape is ok. Just don't cover the hole in the pressure sensor with anything other than foam. Since I use the HoverflyGPS all of the time, I just have a piece wedged between the pressure sensor and bottom of the HoverflyGPS.

For altitude hold. Make sure you have v4.6r2 flashed. Then make sure to re-calibrate your accelerometer (with v4.6.0.2 of the setup client). Check that your artificial horizon is level.

Also, read the release notes for v4.6 r2

Thanks George. Installed the GPS board and ran through all calibration tonight except the compass. Will do that tomorrow.
