Re: Witnessed a Vision+ crash - don't believe it was pilot e
Yep. I mentioned that we calibrated things in point 2 above.
Yes, the IMU was calibrated after the first crash.
Honestly, it was too far away to see the colors on the quad. Everything happened so quickly that he didn't have...

Background:
My dad has a Phantom 2 Vision+ -- same as me. He had an incident a couple of weeks ago where it he was flying it in-town in his backyard and it ignored his RC controls and crashed into the ground. The camera was protected...
Re: First UAV Near Miss with Ag Aircraft Reported in Pacific
The commenter seems to imply that it is expected that the ag pilot should have a ground spotter. Is this the case? I don't know much about crop dusting or the rules that apply for aircraft that fly that low to the ground.

Wow. Beat me to it by an hour. I just cut and uploaded this video to YouTube:

Curious. I just powered on both the WiFi Extender and P2V+ and then checked the iwinfo stats. Here's what it says:
WiFi Extender
root@Phantom:~# ./iwinfo wlan0 info
wlan0 ESSID: "Phantom_XXXXXX"
Access Point: 60:60:1F:XX:XX:XX
Mode: Master Channel: 1 (2.412 GHz)...
Other observations:
You can connect directly to the P2V+ by using the SSID FC200_xxxxxx. However, I had to define a static IP for my laptop for this to work reliably. Further, if you don't turn on the Wifi Extender you get hiccups as watchdog_wireless.sh tries to kickstart the network. After...
This is pretty timely. I spent last night and tonight peeking and poking at the contents of the Wifi Extender and P2V+. I'm used to dealing with buildroot configs and this is my first time dealing with OpenWRT, so it was new but not completely unfamiliar territory.
From what I gather, the...
Thanks for the tip on Walgreens. I used the coupon code "HANGONWALL" and got 33% off bringing the price of the 20x30 print down to $17. Not bad.
As far as the quality goes -- that's probably the upper extreme for the size I should be printing at. It looks great at arm length, but you can...
I'd like to print out a shot I took of my father-in-law's farmstead with my Vision+ as a Father's Day gift. Trouble is, I've never really printed out a picture as large as this one. GIMP tells me that at the current resolution and size, it could potentially print out to around 61"x34". This...
