@HappyKillmore: Try User Calibration on each power up, "C" for Calibrate - "E" for Exit Calibrate. Within calibrate...rotate sensor horizontally, smoothly, 2 full revolutions 720 degrees over the course of about 20 seconds. Also try setting S/R bit…
Hi serge, i am of the opinion that one reference vector, earth's magnetic field, will work. Depending on where you live, there is a reasonably steep z-component of the field, aligned with the usual gravity vector. The only attitude that is unresolva…
Hi Curt,
Is there an EasyStar model available for FlightGear? And if not.....
What is involved with adapting, extracting, a 'model file set' from another simulator that is compatible with a Flightgear?

No need to wait for the Wired article, I suspect that Chris has let the cat out of the bag regarding his insightful and timely analysis of 'atoms' versus 'bits' in his book, "Free: The Future of a Radical Price"......http://www.amazon…

I like the noaa link. Scary to think the magnetic field is declining though..lol!
I'm thinking this through like this..could be wrong but here goes...The Azimuth describes the standard horizontal angle away from Magnetic North you would expect a compass to give you. A 3-axis tilt compensated compass's main algorithmic purpose is…
Hi Dr.Black.....Some preliminaries........I believe the GCS software uses the bootloader to store waypoints in EEPROM. The EEPROM memory in the CPU is used to store the waypoints. The EEPROM in the Atmega328 is a seperate memory space from the Flash…
You're right Thomas on all accounts. From Jordi's last response, it is a series diode.
which is fine, but I was looking at the diagonal picture of the board it really looked
as the cathode was tied to the ground plane, I'm sure it isn't though....ju…
Nice job on PiattoArduIMU Jordii!!
(flat arduimu in arduino speak! lol)
I knew I went to sleep too early (east cost) :( waaahhh!!!
New functionality brought out to the headers as well..fantastic!!
Good luck!
Hi JS, this isn't my first plane....the plane behaved as though the battery pack got loose and fell back in towards the receiver or something because it was so tail heavy. The only control I was adjusting was elevator trim (note, i'm using the stock…
Is this your first plane? I only ask because people tend to over handle the sticks when they are starting out. That would explain why you couldn't recover. But you're right, an unbalanced plane is a nightmare. I've had batteries shift, ballast fall…

Happy Birthday - Very cool pictures. Have a great time. I need to get one of these too. I found one cheap and may get it next week.

Ok Austin, you got me, now stop laughing or no more treats from the table!!
