Understood. I am used to not using trims with APM. The SERVO_AUTO_TRIM feature has allowed me to keep my Taranis trims all centered and have the plane or VTOL fly perfectly straight.
I just noticed there is a gimbal rocker control which eliminates another concern I had. I am not familiar with Tower yet but I am comfortable with Mission Planner and QGC. My understanding is that you can control all the flight modes you want from the apps and that the M12L supports multiple connections. I may have run out of ideas not to buy!
Ladies and Gentlemen,I have a question im using a tablet with my M12 with tower on it,is there any easy way do video the screen when it is doing a waypoint mission please,many thank’s
the tablet screen really,our local flying club have put out a challege for long range flight so would like to use the skydroid tower and the uvc video if possible they have said autonomous flight is o/k so would do it with way points im not really interested in winning just some fun and thank you.
we have to post a video with distance covered hence the tablet video
I forgot to send that one a coulpe of hrs ago tried the DU Recorder and seams to work also there is a video editor so im a happy happy bunny I wont need to buy you and Cala a whisky or 2 ile need to buy you a distillery
Cala2 had mentioned that he was using QGC for the VTOL support so I was on a similar UVC fact finding mission and found your summary here. I thought I would post it for others. It might make a good entry into the manual FAQ.
Greg if you go back on here there is a 4.4 modified version ive just been out in the freezing cold and done a few flights every thing is working good now to warm up
On Android.
UVC video works in a version of Skydroid Tower version (Yunzhuo Ground Station)
UVC video is a no go on qGroundControl. Not recognized
UVC video is a no go on 3DR Tower (Crashes)
UVC Video is a no go on Mission Maker (Crashes)
Windows 10
UVC works on Mission Planner.
UVC works on Qgroundcontrol. Requires selection of the video source and then restart it.
FYI… someone opened an issue on this. I chimed in on the thread of my similar experience and @DonLakeFlyer is looking into it. Hopefully he’ll get this resolved.
Update: According to this, the Daily Build as this resolved. Not sure how to implement it but maybe @DonLakeFlyer can point us to the right direction. Or someone here would know how.
The fix you are referring to is for connecting ChibiOS boards on Android. UVC on Android support varies based on device. Some work some don’t. We don’t have much/any control over that since we rely on third party code for the support.
At the moment it appears that the FUAV version of UVC receiver is not seen by what ever driver system that QGroundcontrol application uses to view the video. So for now we are out of luck which sucks because Qgroundcontrol is awesome.
Don already looked into the issue and has no fix for it as it’s more system related and not app. Sadness
What I don’t understand is why other apps see the UVC receiver.
