    Tau Labs Sparky: new Tau Labs flight and brushless gimbal controller

    Yup! I posted about it more in this thread: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?22063-Sparky-Brushless-Gimbal-Controller-v2 Also a blog post about a recent frame using it here: http://buildandcrash.blogspot.com/2014/11/seeing-spark-sparky2-and-sparkybgc-quad.html I like it since...

    Tau Labs Sparky Brushless Gimbal Controller v2

    I thought you guys here might find this interesting: http://buildandcrash.blogspot.com/2014/08/sparky-brushless-gimbal-controller.html It's an update on my brushless gimbal controller using a more tradition design (satellite for sensing attitude). and works pretty well: The CAN...

    Tau Labs Getting Started with Tau Labs

    Yup. Tau Labs is by the original OP developers and we have maintained support for CC(3D) and RevoMini. There are also other boards it supports including Quanton from Quantec and Sparky which I make (and is cheaper than a CC3D while capable of most of what revo is ;-) For a full list of boards...

    LinuxDrone Project LinuxDrone? What is it all about?

    Very cool and exciting Oleg. Something like a beaglebone will be a really powerful future-proofed platform that I bet will be really exciting.

    Tau Labs Sparky: new Tau Labs flight and brushless gimbal controller

    Yeah, it has definitely crossed my mind. If you look at how I designed my gimbal controller: http://buildandcrash.blogspot.com/2013/05/sparky-brushless-gimbal-controller.htmly you'll see that it uses CAN to communicate between the FC and BGC. The benefit of that is that it is high speed and...

    Tau Labs TauLabs gets a multiwii style horizon mode

    A few tweaks in the code and getting it running on my more aggressive quad. Working pretty well:

    Tau Labs TauLabs gets a multiwii style horizon mode

    /me crossing posting Awesome video. Glad you like it! Yeah we did quite a few improvements to the flight code since the fork so I think it flies better now. Also I think it showed me what is going on - basically when you pitch flip the roll axis is in attitude mode and when you flip upside...

    Tau Labs TauLabs gets a multiwii style horizon mode

    Great. Yeah it helped narrow it down a lot. Hehe, glad you like it! I'm really pleased how it came out and the single sided makes it easy to stick to things.

    Tau Labs TauLabs gets a multiwii style horizon mode

    Anything it produces would be useful. Post anything you have here https://github.com/TauLabs/TauLabs/issues/1005 if possible

    Tau Labs TauLabs gets a multiwii style horizon mode

    Crap. Are you running 10.9? I thought I got the crashing fixed for that.

    Tau Labs TauLabs gets a multiwii style horizon mode

    Credit goes to the MultiWii guys for the algorithm (or maybe it goes back to KK then from what you said). Either way, I hope you enjoy it!

    Tau Labs TauLabs gets a multiwii style horizon mode

    So I implemented something similar to horizon mode on multiwii which smoothly transitions from attitude to rate mode as you put in more stick. The results are pretty fun, and I thought some of the FPV guys here might want to try it for laughs. OSX version Windows version To use it, just set...

    Tau Labs Open Pilot forum is now Tau Labs forum.

    We discussed taking the rotation option out of the UI but the majority of the devs wanted to keep it. The reason is for people that fly multirotors (which is most of the users) the angle of the board relative to the frame is precisely known, and typing it in directly is more accurate than using...

    Tau Labs Regarding OpenPilot and Tau Labs....buyer beware

    I think his reply just read wrong. Reddog is a good guy. He's focused on autonomous stuff so that is probably not quite the same target as a lot of peopel here. My guess would be he meant don't buy it if you want something for autonomous flight, since that pretty much isn't an option for CC3D...

    Tau Labs Getting Started with Tau Labs

    I would recommend running this version https://github.com/TauLabs/TauLabs/releases/tag/master-20130811 @Stacky - sorry I missed this previously. That system configuration error means in the "Input Configuration" page one of the modes has "None" or "Manual" selected so it's preventing you...
