yes, i'm in favor of supplementing the MSP to allow GUI clients to configure cleanflight. I hate going into the CLI to configure telemetry, for example. And a GUI for serial port configuration would also be nice. I have already made MSP changes in cleanflight, trying to keep things as backwards comp...

I've written code for TC's F1 and F3 boards, and the AeroQuad F4 board. At the moment they are not as feature rich as some of the other code bases, but the code performs very well. They make use of the hardware floating point, and limited use of the DSP functions (in the F3 and F4 incarnations). An...

Cleanflight looks very promising, will be testing it out shortly. A few questions meanwhile. I have a stock minimosd which runs @ 57600, in Harakiri set tele_prot = 3 brings the live to it. Any chance to do something similar in Cleanflight? Is the Gps code will stay similar to Baseflight, or will b...

I updated cleanflight and the configurator today to support AUX1-8 configuration as per this screenshot and video.

We need more dev's like this, and less devs like TimeCop! we need more hw - therefore we need TC - that simple. No-one's denying TC makes some nice hardware, my Naze's all fly great and I'm looking forward to more F3 boards from him. He already spends more time making hardware and trolling than wri...

There is nothing to see here people, please move along. Actually one good thing has come out of it, it reminded me that the GPL notices were missing from all the source files and the GPL license file was missing. This has been corrected in Cleanflight, baseflight still needs to be correctly updated...

At least you should have the balls to discuss that in the channel and not lurk there like the coward you are. I'd love to comment on that in the channel but fiendie +q'd me because timecop threw a tantrum because I forked his code and was using a multiwii irc channel to discuss a multiwii fork! [20...

Sorry for spam but wt* is this: m Besides, theoretically you could only relicense contributions or code that wasn't copied from another project anyway. And you can't retroactively relicense anything. So it's more of a taunt really. Hahahah! Yes, HydraIRC's source was made available for others to re...

I've made it so that UBLOX GPS SBAS mode can be configurable. A recent change in baseflight made my GPS unit, here in Europe, take longer to get a lock. The SBAS setting was changed to AUTO which appeared to be the cause. Allowing the user to choose a mode based on their region should help with GPS ...

dominicclifton

that's a very wise decision, just make sure harakiri's features get merged into cleanflight and carry on working on Dominic's fork ! dominic isn't interested in playing with others anymore than I am. So it's pretty unlikely he's going to be "working" with anyone but himself don't speak fo...

While I'm at it I'll list some other commits that were mine, in cleanflight and pull requests opened, but for which Timecop has purposely not credited me for:

He's doing this out of spite too not because he's lazy and can't work git. In fact git makes it easy with cherry-pick.

yeah, just like this one: m Where *I* spotted and and you purposely don't credit me just like with many other recent commits you're taking from cleanflight.

For those feeling brave, i've ported over the autotune feature from BradWii. It's not field tested yet and only supports pid controllers 1 and 2 and not Lux's new pid controller. If you want to try it then switch to the 'autotune' branch and grab the binaries or compile it yourself. Code here: m Doc...

Ok, just added a new feature. RSSI via ADC. Latest binaries have it.

dominicclifton

We need more fragmentation and less developers actually developing towards a common goal. Totally a great idea If you have thoughts on open source projects and how people should collaborate then perhaps a separate thread would be best Timecop. I'd do with the same with my thoughts on source control...

dominicclifton

Open Source right? yes Just for the record, I do not approve of the direction, file structure, or overall attitude of this particular fork, and specifically the waste of developer time that will ensue from this silliness.

Since we cannot link failsafe to RTH and RTH is not reliable why buy FunFly Controller "Naze 32" Robert Nobody is forcing you to buy anything. Infact, if GPS is what you want, look no further than DJI Phantom Vision V2+, and stay the fuck away from opensource projects. Nah, he could contr...

dominicclifton

Everything is possible but my focus is not on the F4 at the moment and I don't have a suitable board here either. Feel free to add support and make a pull request.

dominicclifton

triggering the failsafe seems reasonable after a configurable delay, if the failsafe works. this feature should be user selectable. however, if the failsafe triggers gps return to home then you might damage the batteries more than if it just landed immediately. I guess it depends which is more expen...

dominicclifton

actually, since removing this from my fork of the baseflight code i find it's easier to set the trims and limits correctly on my TX since the < 3 / > 3 doesn't get in the way anymore. bonus!

Hi Pluschi, thanks for taking the time out to answer my question, much appreciated. That really helps alot. So I'm guessing that with a processor that can measure the ppmsum inputs with greater accuracy this is not needed at all?

Hi guys, just to let you know I ported baseflight to the STM32F3DISCOVERY board.

Putting my money where my mouth is, I've implemented a solution in my git repo for baseflight:

https://github.com/hydra/baseflight/com ... 18ed64b9aa

I think it should be back-ported into MultiWii too.

dominicclifton

I also know that servo[].middle is commented in the header to be "SERVO PWM VALUE, DEFAULT OF 1500". So why the fuck it would EVER be an index into rcData[] array is absolutely fucking mindboggling. This is not "high level of coding", this is high level of obfuscation and idiocy...

Thats a good eclipse gdb setup. I was always a command line guy but have warmed up to eclipse in recent times. Yes it's good these days. Can hott data streams be used for osd ? Too slow i bet.

One thing I like about Baseflight is the quality of dev's involved in the project and the group having a priority of ensuring only quality code gets included and it uses the right mechanism for devs to collaborate on it (using Git correctly). TOTALLY agreed. Awesome work that you are doing with the...

I've done some software serial updates to baseflight today, from the pull request: "Add support for 2 softserial ports on PWM5+6/TIM3_CH1+2/PA6+PA7 and PWM7+8/TIM3_CH3+4/PB0+PB1. The software serial ports share the same baud rate both both are independently invertible. The configuration paramet...

What is to stop us from taking a page from his book and creating our own fork Nothing, and git and github encourages this.

With this patch the Crius I2C_GPS_NAV board can be connected to an HC-SR04 type sonar via the ICSP pins. The pins used previously were not connected on the Crius board.

Having descriptive variable names will increase code size. Only source code size. Not onboard code size. Self-descriptive code is very usefully then comments. Yes i fully agree.

I can confirm that software serial inversion works fine when direct connected into an FrSky receiver. I have two such devices running like that and into D8R-II receivers. They are both FrSky modified Open-Altimeters. The serial data is sent by the Atmel 328P MCU at 3.3V level on the Servo 2 pin. Ma...
