PyQt question: Connect the X button to a function in a Tab

I have a tab in the client that listens for data from a socket. When I close the client I cant get the Tab to shut down the socket. I have tried a number of ways to trigger a function on close but failing. Here is the closest example on stack overflow I can find. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...

Battery Advice

I have a set of Turnigy Li Po 300mAh 20-40C batteries.
Is there any way of telling when they start to become dangerous?
A new battery measures around 8.18mm a used one (cannot tell you how long sorry) has swollen up to 8.74mm.


Cheers
Joe

We are at the point where we would like you to review the work and see if there is anything obvious that might have been missed. His message Below: We’re trying to design and implement...

Re: Using v2 lighthouses facing upwards

I tried again in our lab, clean install new drone. all works ok! So not sure what that was.

Just waiting now for my engineer friend to finalise the modifications to the

Code: Select all

class LighthouseBsGeoEstimator
before we move on to integrating it into the newest version of the Lighthouse Tab.

flipping the motor direction in the firmware.

Hi, I am looking to reverse the direction of the motors such that the motors can be mounted upside down, but the chassis remains the same. From this old post https://forum.bitcraze.io/viewtopic.php?p=16079#p16079 Tobias flipped the signs in the powerDistribution function definition. I gave it a quic...

Re: Using v2 lighthouses facing upwards

I can't even get the drone to fly with the latest pull, with unmodified firmware, client and cflib... So i will try to get it fly on a multi bs setup with hard coded geo/calib values first. Then we can talk about moving it over once the tab/lib and firmware is more stable and there are docs... Sould...

Re: Using v2 lighthouses facing upwards

Hi Kristoffer, I checked out the latest version of the lighthouse positioning tab today in response to Tobias's battery test function blog post. It looks like the calibration and geometry data are no longer hard coded into the firmware? How do you define the origin now? I assume there is some docume...
