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...

Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMYqY0j9piw 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. --tim

Re: Still fighting to get the battery out? here's the easy w Wow. Beat me to it by an hour. I just cut and uploaded this video to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUYwf_1wgvI Pretty much shows the same thing as the link in the first post above... just with some audio annotation. --tim

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)...

Wow! The WebUI looks pretty sweet!!! --tim

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...

Re: DJI Phantom Vision + Flyaway problem and Crash Remote controller = 5.8GHz (manual page 23, section 5 Preparing the Remote Controller) WiFi extender = 2.4GHz (manual page 29, section 6 Preparing the Range Extender)

Page 14, section 2.5 "Correct Battery Usage Notes" point #2 talks about the 8% discharge. --tim

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...
