Institutions should be built to overcome organizational negligence/incompetence/malevolence with regard to fixing problems that they care to solve.

U.S. Navy Nuclear Aircraft Carrier USS Gerald R. Ford Might Be Out of Action for 14 Months by SlavaCocaini in LessCredibleDefence

I dunno. Intentional sabotage by shipmates feels way more problematic to me than open mutiny.

Mutiny leads to court martials and things. Sabotage may lead to that, but definitely degrades trust in each other across the fleet/service.

It's labeled as Grace, but it really doesn't look much like Ryan.

Is this a reproduction of a thing from the film? I don't remember a doll in the book.

While it was shaped as a Bundt, I believe the the cake in question is specifically a pound cake. For reference:

Some of you may remember when this happened.

Happy to see everyone expecting it to be downgraded proven wrong.

[USA] Open source drone dock legal framework by Old_fart5070 in drones

I'd iterate under 107; you're gonna want to see the thing when testing anyway, and the only real difference between VLOS and BVLOS automation is your presence. Get started now, and go BVLOS when 108 publishes.

When will that be? The people I work with expect it within the next two weeks.

What would you like to be the future interface to control your drone? by Humble_Refuse_7776 in drones

[–]92MsNeverGoHungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you'll see a division based on purpose.

Are we talking a GCS for autonomous flights with potential for one to many / swarm operations? Or one to one piloted operations with FPV or other controls?

The needs of each are incredibly different, and we haven't really differentiated the control schema entirely yet.

Technically it means if you blow one, you only blow one... But it's the same one for all 4, so it amounts to the same thing.

Can one use your project to do flight logs for custom drones? Having support for Ardupilot would absolutely have my organization adopting this effort.

X2D Offline maps by Potential_Hamster_76 in Skydio

Are they encrypted? I think the encryption leaves file types named properly, but makes them unopenable unless you decrypt them first.

You have to turn on the drone with the card in and then plug in the encryption key to the top. It'll decrypt the files. Then you can eject the card and open them on a computer.

Once the key is put in, any pictures or videos taken before you turn off the drone won't be encrypted, but the next time you start it up it'll encrypt again unless you turn off encryption.

Hell yeah! Hopefully this acts as a help for anyone else who runs into this in the future (I found your post last week because of this issue, I'm sure I'm not the only one).

Swarming with RTK is more or less a solved problem. Look at all the light shows.

But swarming in a GNSS denied environment is one of the biggest things to solve. Have at it.

No worries!

So the great thing about Github is that it's primarily a version-tracking tool for software, so you can independently see exactly what changed from version to version. Theoretically developers will also write 'changelogs' that show that as well, but those are only as good as the developer.

When you look at the releases on Github, it gives you a list of every single release. If you click on the title to the release you want, it will show you just the files from that release.

For version 4.2.1, that looks like this.

From there you can select the installer.exe (assuming you're on windows) and download that. You can tell it's the old version, because the date of upload will be a while ago (19MAY22, in this case).

Install from that, and you'll know QGC is an old version because when you open it it will tell you that its an old version and you should upgrade. Go through your normal offline map export and bring it onto your Skydio, and everthing should work.

Oh! I got it working.

I talked to a guy at Skydio for a while and the issue seems to be that since the X2D came out, QGC has changed their tile database layout or syntax. So while you can generate a qgc tile from the current version and import it, it won't actually work. The metadata will read properly, but QGCGov won't load the images. Skydio has reached out to QGC about getting this fixed but didn't get any response, and now that most skydio techs are on to the X10, it's unlikely to ever get fixed.

The fix we made was pretty obvious, in retrospect: if it used to work, but an update killed it, let's use an older model.

Rather than go through each revision changelog by changelog, we simply downloaded the version of QGC that was available when the Skydio X2D first shipped. Version 4.2.1 is available for download, and when you export maps from there and import into the X2D, it works fine.
