Re: Could MWC Be Used as a Head Tracker?

Alex is right - I forgot to mention the mag sensor.

I think parts of code can be reused (like reading sensors) and some parts require new code (inject ppm into TX)

This could be a spinoff

Re: barometer activate/deactivate?

The barometer is for altitude hold.

You activate it by a switch on your radio when you fly at desired altitude.
The software tries to maintain this altitude during this action.

Re: Frame for aerial video

My frame flies well even with camera weight at one end - the drawback is the 2 motors that has to rev up a bit extra as they carry the extra load.

If you move weight rear to center the weight the load will be even on all motors.
