Hi PPL.. will reply to your questions this evening ( CET ) .. currently V.Busy. @Jochen... probably this evening - late. @Kai... Temperature compensation is still not on in firmware. You must leave Picloc take ambient temperature for 5-10 minutes for correct operation. I suggest strongly to do...

Hmm.. Strange... power supply is smooth ?? What's your setings for P-Gain and Acceleration ?? T055 firmware does not delete the settings of the previous firmware. forwards and backwards compatible.

Yes.. Hexacop.. I remember telling you this also... Yes?? (some) BEC's are noisy beasts, While Picloc is a sensitive array of sensors.

@Lanzar : for my tests I used a Spektrum AR8000 main RX and its satellite coupled with a DX8. This gave me the worst ever jitter on the servos. The reason is that all servo pulses out of the main receiver start from exactly the same position when viewed on my oscilloscope. This gives the biggest...

Ok.. Thankyou.

That's why I told you about the button, yet also about the video.. just in case. Guess reminding about the button press was quicker ;)

This is mind blowing !!! Better than any formation flight I've ever seen.. including Angels, Frecce 3colori, Red Arrows , French Patouille, Swiss PT6!!! :) Jaw drops to the floor !!

@ Jochen - Are you pressing the small button that you need to press when uploading new firmware. as seen in the bootloader tutorial video...first wmv link in the Picloc-3X page on my site. @ Seattle send me an email to help you resolve your issue.

Hi, Just published new Beta Test firmware. go here and Log in. Should be a quick fix for now. Not 100% perfect, but over here, on my HV-787 equipped Tilt and Roll axis, it shows a significantly calmer quiescent state. Let me know how it goes. Older firmware is still there as a precaution.

OK.. Its a firmware bug it seems. Will look into it ASAP !! There will be an update of current firmware v0.55 to solve this issue with jitter when radio is ON. Its like Picloc is paying too much attention to decode the Receiver input with accuracy and letting the stabilization suffer a bit...

Ok.. then the issue is something else, which I have a good idea of what's happening. One Question... are you using SLEW or Proportional control ( stick mode ). This is not solvable by Skype, but I have to issue an update on the firmware.

Here's what it looks like when you mount Picloc on the camera plate of an AV120: This would be the same type of setting that PhotoShipOne customers would do with their Piclocs, since PS1 use 360Servos. Also this is the same method for Copterworks, Triax and CopterFilms type mount hierarchies.

Aha... I am relatively sure there is no 'jitter' on the servo outputs when.. at least... set on a fixed pulse width like 1500uS or any other setting. But I will double check this when I'm back at my lab. So..Does this 'servo wondering' also happen when the HV-787 is powered directly from your...

Hmmm... Servo output seems rock solid.. Hmm.. do the tilt and roll servo do the same if you select 1500us ( item 0 in your Servo output matrix selection ), or one of the latter fixed values towards the end of the list ? Thanks for these tests... really helpful !

@Lanzar : I do not have the roll upgrade on my AV200, so cannot give you my settings as they won't make sense. But I will offer my support to your setting up of your mount. Preferably by Skype ( I hate typing ;) In next Toolz, you will have the possibility of saving and loading different...

Hi Holco, Thanks for the detailed video, remarking the stepping of the HV-787 servos. Probably it's not their fault. In my opinion they are really accurate, and respond to the littlest change in command...( which is what we want after all !). Most probably, the BLS-451's have a much wider...

OK... I notice now, that this is becoming an issue for at least 3 users of Picloc. Last evening I had a call with a guy who reported that while still the Tilt axis is OK, but when flying, the tilt goes up and down a little bit. I noticed this a little in Holco's first videos... when flying...

@Daniel .. My AV130 is without Pan, and therefore can't help you there. Perhaps someone else with Pan enabled AV130 can chime in. What about using the servo that is on the ROLL axis right now for PAN duties, while changing the ROLL axis servo to a very fast one like.. say .. an HV-747, or...

Yes... very useful. The reason why it's not there, is because I discovered some bugs with saving the files while the Picloc connection was ongoing. I will try my hardest to include this feature for saving/loading different setups in next update v0.56. Thanks for your remark, Peter !

@ holco....if only I had the time !! @ multihexa.....LOL.....24th February arrived ;) again @ holco....Ok.. I try to see what I can do.
