    3D printing for HPR

    Depending on how the 3D printed part is incorporated, it's actual strength may not matter much... My BALLS rocket was minimum diameter 75mm M that went to 26 K feet. the body/fins/nose were fiberglass but all interior components were 3D printed with simple PLA (!) including a test of 75mm...

    Writting your avionics code with the help of chatGPT

    [Ignoring the copyright issues for now] I have used ChatGPT to get specific code examples Ex: "Can you generate C code for the Python Huber Regressor...?" It does indeed give me code - but that I then have to test against the python version across some quantity of datasets. I've also asked it...

    New Featherweight GPS phone app available for Android and iOS

    Tim - are you still getting that error? I think the iFIP install / update should still be working although I will be trying to validate and migrate to the "Featherweight UI" version for BlueRaven and Tracker...

    New Featherweight GPS phone app available for Android and iOS

    I'm still busy with my regular day job but really pleased that Adrian has been able to find a developer with the time and skills to deliver these capabilities for both platforms! Now, I myself hope to soon have enough free time to work on some rockets that use the BlueRaven and Tracker while...

    Featherweight Tracker Update - Build 130+

    Sorry about the miss on the expire date. That was my fault and when it happened yesterday, I was on a rare 24 hour trip to Phoenix and back. I got back this AM and did the update so we are good for another 90 days. And as Adrian noted in the other thread, he is working on getting the tracking...

    Send me your BALLS.... Featherweight Tracker Data that is....

    Tony, what does the other side look like? the other side has the radio and blue tooth chips on them... i don't know if comms are dependent on an active GPS chip, but it might be possible to still get the data... (maybe). We can also use your phone log for 1hz data if you want.

    Send me your BALLS.... Featherweight Tracker Data that is....

    Nice to have a second generator to compare to... I now see above that I used feet instead of meters for altitude which is why my flight looks so high... :) This pic has your KML on it as well (the green)...

    Send me your BALLS.... Featherweight Tracker Data that is....

    Patrick - I started this thread and then your thread showed up in the 'Similar Threads'. I just skimmed through your thread now and am impressed by what all you implemented!! So.... I'm still interested in people sending me their files to incorporate into a combined BALLS flight data - but...

    Send me your BALLS.... Featherweight Tracker Data that is....

    I just saw a thread started by @Arpak back in January for a CSV->KML converter they wrote. I will have to review those features as it looks like they had good progress on KML features... :)

    Send me your BALLS.... Featherweight Tracker Data that is....

    I'm going to work on compiling a KML/KMZ file for Featherweight flights from BALLS 2023. If you can send me your phone log (1Hz data) and/or the download from the tracker itself (10hz), then I can add the flights to the KML/KMZ file (image below includes 'basic' drone pic overlay onto GPS...

    Raven4 Interface Greyed Out?

    it looks like bank 0 (which is calibration and deployment settings) is still blank. I think that is causing it to get into a loop of trying to re-read bank 0 hoping for a better answer. After I get back from vacation, I'll need to get you more information so that it should program it with the...

    Raven4 Interface Greyed Out?

    Could you do me a favor and do the same thing as above, but then go to the upper left of the dos window and click on the icon and then do Edit> Select all and then Edit> Copy and send me that text? I'll see if I can figure out what it is not interpreting right... Thanks! If you need to send...

    Raven4 Interface Greyed Out?

    ok, that means it isn't finding something in the response that it is looking for, but it is encouraging that the altimeter is responding with what looks like possibly reasonable results. I'm about to head out for vacation tomorrow but if we can't figure it out before then, then I'll take the...

    Raven4 Interface Greyed Out?

    Ok, first you get the "cheat codes" for getting a debug output window.... [this has never been published before... :-] Hold down the CTRL and SHIFT key when you click on FIP to start it. Windows will ask if you want to start it in Administrator mode. Continue to hold down the CTRL and SHIFT...

    Raven4 Interface Greyed Out?

    When FIP first connects, it wants to ask the Raven about it's configuration and flight data. It appears to be hung on that so not proceeding. Let me see if I can find what commands it is sending and see if you can reproduce those in your COM interface program.

    The Featherweight voices in your head...

    So there was an issue on iOS 16 on how one screen was laid out so I fixed that, but in testing I found that iOS 16 has quite a few new voices that you can pick from - including many that might not "play well" at a launch... Notably "GrandMa", "GrandPa", "Good News" and "Bad News".... and other...
