Mombasa...You must be too!! , since you noted my comments and had the urge to reply :)

@njozsef The next update has possibility to connect PiclocToolz wirelessly through your Xbee or whichever wireless modem you want to use. TX and RX are separate output from Picloc, in order to be compatible with Xbee, Bluetooth, etc. The baudrate is 115200. Make sure your modem supports this...

Friggen'L....Jesper.... the Spring2012 showreel gave me such a nice feeling !! Amazing !! Thanks for letting your Picloc-3X PRO 'in the shot' at the end of the clip. Jesper.. the fix I proposed to you by email should get you up and running. The Pro v2 upgrade/swap is something I recommend for...

Ok... real name / alias ......sometimes can be quite confusing .. !!LOL!!

Njozef, Jetibox cannot be made to work through RS232 or Xbee. Yes... as pointed out by Graham, Jetibox is a strange serial data packet at 9600Baud, over a single wire. Traditionally, only a small range of 'Atmega' 8bit microprocessors can use it/produce it/read it with hardware peripherals...

It was a stand-by. Must wait for the GO-notification.

hi Zorba... the name of new firmware will be v57_xx ( where XX is the subversion build number ) You will get a notification in this thread. So subscribe to it so that you are automatically notified by MRF.

Peter - Thanks !!! upcoming New Firmware is for Picloc-3X like you have ( 2011/2012 version ). Whatever I do for Picloc-3X vII, ( if the v1 hardware supports it) will be available for V1 as well. I will try to keep to my promise for 1 firmware for all versions ( with autodetect ).... But if...

Thanks for kind words, Kenny. That gives me heaps of courage to soldier on !! Cheers m8 !!

Congrats to Kimberley and Wife for your new crew member :)

Hi !! I've been veerrrrrrrry busy creating new stuff, stuff which I've been trying to make better since a looooooong time.. (Picloc related unfinished work). I'm very close to completion of this work, and just yesterday, I've managed to crack one issue which I've been wrapping my head around...

Tim, OK. Yes.. the function you mention has been on my wish list for too long. It is already possible through the jetibox link, but not everyone has a jetibox. I will add it to the upcoming firmware, as a selectable item to be assigned to a channel. I think I need to shift all Picloc's AUX...

Yeehaanow.... I understand you.... and also understand what you would like. Unfortunately re-calibration of the Gyro is only possible when sitting still, so airborne re-calibration is a no-go. In v55 Firmware and Toolz, there is no Gyro/Accelerometer mix adjustment ( like in v56 and in v57...

If Picloc is on camera plate, servos must be 360 modified !!! and Pot disconnected mechanically. ( just centered on 1500uS) and verified centered by PiclocToolz's fine Neutral setting for each servo.

Felix, when using potentiometers ( you mention the 1001 upgrade kit with 3 turn pot .. which makes roll quite fast ) the only gains you need to adjust are these two: P-Gain... to get the camera to stay level when you move the gimbal gently +-45 degrees... or less if you are on the AV200 roll (...

Jochen.... sadly , whenever I gave a date to something, there was always delays. Strangely enough, when I do not give dates, stuff works very efficiently. So I will politely refrain from replying, in the hope that this gets out really really quick. Hope to have answered your question with...

Jozsef, Your required link to the old firmware: TOOLZ and FIRMWARE Sorry for replying late... but I was superduper busy and out of reach of internet.

Hi Dmitry... not too happy about latest delay I'm informed with...but... they're coming soon, and from what I've seen, they're really solid built to take abuse.

@Fredass - When I tried to make it work with 9600, even changing the slider of a gain setting will flood the Xbee at 9600, and comms is unreliable. I will have to make an XBEE WRITE button on Toolz, so that info is sent only once and with no flooding of the serial link. However, Im afraid that...

Bart.. thanks for grouping the gimbal stabilization threads in one forum section. It makes a lot of sense. I like it.
