you can fly, as long as you stay under 400ft above ground level. That means if you're flying LOS, the limit is more or less 400ft above you.. Now if you fly FPV if you want to stay under 400ft AGL you will have to follow the shape of the terrrain.. So you gotta go down that ill..

ok.... let's see what Mike say..

João

you can put the last one on another switch. that's what I did before..

@ Mike
but maybe the allowed number of files in the cue to be played could be increased?

João

Thanks.. will use the one Romolo linked above. I guess it is based on the 2009 version

never mind, i think we got it..

My antivirus Avast doesn't let me run the eepe.exe for the 128 version.. anyone know what can do?

Hey, just tried now to read the eeprom with my stk500 compatible thingy, and I was able to read the eeprom to file. So I guess this just can't jump start the chip?? strange. the file size is 4.00Kb.. I that to read the memory from TX I need to install the test version from eepe, right?

João

Ok, you say it won't easily fit.. hhmmmm, not impossible though?? what about 3 phases instead of 6 on stock board Hmmmm, and you're also following that nice vario (thanks Rainer) project, right?? because it is a veeeeery nice project ;) and not so expensive to build.. and it has some other options t...

Is the reaction to lift fast, or is there a delay??
I mean, since lift occurs till the vario sound is heard..

João

well, I think that the blue STK500 thingy doesn't really work with the m128. I hope the one i'm building will work.

Yes, that should be 400ft AGL (Above Ground Level)

there ia an airfield at about 10 or 12Km from our club field.. They do fly overhead many times.. but minimum altitude here is 2000ft, so it is quite safe.. I think the guys that fly gliders, fly a bit too high sometimes.. I saw once an heli changing course suddenly because of a glider.. then flew ar...

Thanks.. will do.
João

oh, must find it then, and then just flash it to the atmega8? It's an atmega 8 and not a 2560.. what fuses should I set?? Set fuses first or after flashing the application?? sorry if it is a stupid question.. I'm still learning

João

well, the strange thing is, it works well with the m64.. never had a glitch with it.. I started to find it very strange when mine didn't work, Clive's didn't work and had exactly the same error as mine, and a friend's didn't work yesterday.. So the easiest is: If you upgrade to the m128 don't use th...

Hi, don't know if this is the right thread but here we go.
I'm building this. waiting for the Atmega8 at the moment.

http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/

What version of the software should I flash? I downloaded exactly the 2011 version from the site.

Thanks,

João

+1.

K guys, little update.. got tired of waiting for the Atmegas, drove 25Km to a friend of mine that has a hobbyking usbasp programmer. we connected to the computer, fired eepe, set -B 100, write default fuses (not the eeprom protect ones). BANG. done. After reconnected the programmer, removed the -B 1...

But the tx should not go crazy if an SD Card goes bad or there is suddenly a bad contact IMO.. speccially if it happens when flying.

Ha ha ha

so, a shield is a board with all the connections for pots and switches? sorry, I know what they call shields for the multicopters. is this the same concept?

I think it's possible to buy the flysky modules that have the antenna on the module itself.. But I couldn't find the link. Maybe someone knows... Edit: Found one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/9-Channel-Set-FlySky-FS-9CH-TH9X-B-2-4-GHz-transmitter-module-Replacement-/190747856606?pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Rad...

It might have been already faulty.. As you only used it as a buddy box you might not have noticed before..

Yeah, I will have to brick a few more he he..
I don't think I bricked the 128 though, well not yet because I could never connect with it..

And what could we do with that board? do we just need to connect LCD switches and gimbals? and the rotary encoder with the navigation switches? Or do we need other boards to go with it?

Thanks,

João

yeah, does it make coffee??

and giving up making my own? no way :) If this fails, then I will have to borrow an hobbyking usbasp from a friend of mine to see if it works.. The thing is, all of you guys used a usbasp to flash the atmega128 successfully.. I have the MySmartUSB Light and it didn't work.. Clive has tried with the ...

you mean with audio and everything?? Nice..

Woow, there are some huge brainstorms here today

Guys, I might have missed this, but how can I install the sim? just download companion? do I have to compile? aarrrrgghhh, I hope not

Thanks,

João

Hey, that looks really nice.. Simple but nice.. He surely knows what he is doing
