No need to unplug and restart after just rotating the external magnetometer. Just go ahead and disarm, rotate, rearm and fly.

It is good to see that all the work we did making sure that the craft would remain stable when flown into small branches has finally paid off! lol....

Al did mean Auto-Level, not Altitude-Hold. Are you using just a PRO board, or a combo of PRO and GPS? (Actually I think you must have a GPS board since you mentioned compass calibration). Do you have magnetic hold enabled in the setup client? That does sound a lot like CareFree is enabled -...

We can get you a new copy of the file. I don't have it handy right now but I will get you a copy of it later today.

There is a compass built into the GPS board. For the vast majority of craft, this compass will work just fine. All of the craft that we build use this compass alone. However, some people have experienced magnetic interference from the other electronics on their craft. This is usually caused...

"Care Free" is designed so that you don't have to worry about the heading of the craft when you are flying it. When you arm the craft, it will look at its heading. From that point on, when you move the control sticks, the craft's response will be relative to that original facing - not relative...

Yes - I am looking at it now actually. I am a bit puzzled since you said it didn't happen with 1.03, but does with 1.5/1.6. I haven't seen anything that changed that should be related to that so far. However - I am going to change back a couple things and post a test version - and would like...

Here's a quick video I did this morning showing the effect of the acceleration rate gain on the stability of the camera. This was just a quick and dirty demo of what happens at different values of the rate gain. This is running version 1.6r0 of the firmware (though I wouldn't expect this...

Let me know how the 1.3 version works. I am going to have a look through the code. I did not think anything changed that could cause the effect that you are seeing - but there were some tweaks made in the pitch/roll estimate code. Nothing that should have changed the behavior - just a bit of...

This isn't a fix - but it may help figure out what is going on... If you can, try swapping the roll and tilt servo outputs. Obviously the gimbal won't work properly when you do this - and you will have to be a bit careful as the motion will be counter-intuitive. Just do this with one axis at...

Currently heading lock does not work without the transmitter. We could configure it to work in this mode if people want that. The reason that we avoided this initially was that most of the gimbals that we were working with that had yaw capability have the landing gear attached to the gimbal...

OK - there is a new version (1.6r0) out there now that corrects one issue and provides some more information and control to help you fix some of what else appears to be going on with your system. Please upgrade to the new firmware as well as the new setup client. First, the angle velocity mode...

I am doing some testing right now and will have a more detailed response for you later this morning.

It was never magnetometer only - but in the latest version of the firmware you have the option to ignore the magnetometer all together. If you choose to ignore the magenetometer the result will be that the heading value won't be aligned to the actual compass value (this isn't a problem as...

Elliot, So far I've not been able to recreate the error that you are having on any of our computers - The problem appears to be in the setup client from what you said - which means that it can be any number of windows-related things. I am working on an update for the setup client that will...

Hi Elliot, This is Dan from Hoverfly. I am looking into the problem that you are having right now - can you clarify a couple things for me? If I understand correctly, the setup client is showing some sort of error message when you change the mounting. Does this happen as soon as you select a...
