    Flying in heat

    Sitting on the ground + thermal runaway is more of concern. This is what I found when we used to test APMs in EAFB/Muroch dry lake bed at 102+. Our issues were more related to drones sitting on the ground for 15min to the point our PLA materials warped, lipos balloon or IMU faults. Upon take...

    New autopilot Firmware v1.35?? yes!

    Cool. The last firmware was scary: - pan jog stuck spinning, switches were inoperative. - Camera pointed straight down on startup - Camera not connecting accept once in a blue moon (after 2-3 reboots) - Compass & accel cal in UI says nothing on starting their procedures. + RF was a lot better...

    2-24 Firmware V3.03 and ST16 B30 - Post Your Results Here

    Installed via sd, no issues on upload. clear data, rebind, accel cal and gimbal cal. But now out of rebooting 6 times, the camera wifi will not connect 4 of those 6 times. I tried removing the camera and reinstalling, that worked but rebooting again (2 times) and it wouldn't connect. Separation...

    Post your results of the 11-16-2016 firmware here.

    Camera cal requires a reboot afterwards, otherwise it will not center on switch. That was the only weird thing on my update. 5.8 connects a lot faster . Otherwise, flies good, solid hold position. Compass calibration is absolutely necessary. Just do it and point it north when you start it. Why...

    October 28th Firmware update - H and ST16

    Had the same http issue. Usually associated with a time out on startup. You can verify on the about controller as the firmware for the autopilot will show "request timed out". I rebooted both units, waited for live video and all was well.

    Typhoon H GPS Specifications

    Thanks for sharing. Battery backup is retain almanac/ephemersis data for fast 3d fix. The old MTK GPS based drones didn't have it and it took minutes to get a 3d fix, so one could be off by up to 15m (5 decimal places). Some drones from the factory could have had dead backup batteries which...

    New firmware upgrade coming

    Which version are you on? You're indicating you're on 1.27 or earlier (though lots had issues at 1.22 to 1.25). I'm on 1.27 and have the GPS off option. It flies fine but appears to get GPS warning if I go under 10 SATs (indoors), which it shouldn't. Luckily I see 14 to 20 SATs normally.

    Important TyphoonH_Ver2.24_A.bin

    Not sure, cause the website is back up and pulled 2.24A & just installed it. Will try it out later today. 2.23 worked without issues--still took forever for camera connection. Note I allowed the aircraft to sit for a couple minutes after the ST16 reported update complete. Then rebooted...

    Do you think the H could pull this off easier than the Inspire did?

    Inspire nor TYH.... Most of the times AM flies their custom rig or alta for big studio production shots. It's about the optics... Perfect use of the drone, lots of post production work though.

    Battery Question. Is ok to store a fully charged battery for 2 days?

    It's OK. Just keep them in a dry cool place or your case if your have one. Always observe voltage sag after takeoff to ensure the battery is healthy. Otherwise, after a week I usually put batteries into storage state, which is somewhat hard to do with the batteries...

    Important FIRMWARE version B23 - List Known Issues Here

    Ran 2 batteries... no compass error here, multiple flights with the fact I calibrated it indoors at home. Video looks good, flies and holds fine in 18mph gusts. So far so good. Issues: landing gear was stuck, had to try the switch 3 times to get it to work. Also was getting purple blinks on my...

    Important FIRMWARE version B23 - List Known Issues Here

    As for SD Cards & formatting: SD Card Formatter - SD Association -- this is the SD association’s tool that meets the true SD standard. As for firmware, I did the upgrade, haven't flown yet. BUT redid IMU/Compass/Camera calibrations and noticed in the Windows GUI that pitch was 0.1 (roll &...

    IF YOU CURRENTLY OWN AN H YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR REAL SENSE

    If they did delay current owners and gave it a 50% discount would be a compromise and a huge PR win. Considering a R200 devkit is $99.

    TYPHOON H OR INSPIRE 1 ???

    Depends what you want to do--camera drones are now getting to the point there are differences for the application vs a one size fits all like the P2/P3 days. i1 is good for speed. Otherwise there's a alot of cons to that setup, the X3 is somewhat trumped by the P4 imaging (same 12MP photos, P4...

    Anyone have any luck with an FPV goggles or using an HDMI type of goggle?

    I'm using skyzone (HD v2 diversity) which work great via mini HDMI. Nice thing about the skyzones is the PIP with a front facing camera so you don't need to take off your goggles to see what's in front of you... but you still get better sense flying LOS. My work's cinemizers look incredible...
