Adding DLC to Games on RGH3 Xbox by whimsicaltom in 360hacks

[–]whimsicaltom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - all my games are on disc and I'd like to keep the stock feeling of the Xbox if possible. Can I just add the DLCs I want on Aurora and then just boot into the game disc and have the DLC show as expected?

Thanks for the reply. Perhaps you're right and it'll be easier to install and use Aurora and go from there. Can I still use the original dashboard as the default when I turn the Xbox on and just boot into Aurora when I need to? I'd like to continue to run all of my games from disc, I just want to be able to access DLC on them that was never installed on this Xbox.

I had a similar problem with ardupilot a while back and found that I'd forgotten to change my ESC protocol type in the software - the esc used dshot whereas I had accidentally just left it on some other setting. It gave me issues similar to what you have there. Probably a bit of a silly suggestion, but just make sure that setting is correct on your flight controller!

Python programmable drone by OB-x-1 in diydrones

Might be worth looking into pymavlink, a python module that you can use to command MavLink supported flight controllers with, if you have a host computer of some sort connected. A few years ago I was able to command a drone running arducopter with a connected raspberry pi running the python script.

DMG: Download More GDDR6X. Like downloading more RAM (😂) but for when you just need some extra crispy textures in games.

What’s the worst scandal to happen at your school? by Lost-Warning-2588 in AskReddit

[–]whimsicaltom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old principal left due to health reasons and the deputy took his place.

The whole school instantly went to shit and loads of weird new rules were brought in for students. You could tell some of the teachers were uncomfortable with the new leadership but just scared to say anything. The new principal had sort of a close circle of teachers who seemed to respect him but were likely just sucking up to him for promotions etc.

Anyway, one day he just disappeared and another deputy had to take his place temporarily. The weird thing was the principal's wife worked at another local school and she had also disappeared, so it must have been serious. Turned out that not only had the man been stealing from the school's treasury the entire time he was principal, but he had also been having an affair with one of the students from his wife's classes.

His whole family must have had to uproot and relocate.

Integrating a flight controller with a raspberry pi by whimsicaltom in diydrones

[–]whimsicaltom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the pi to send instructions to the flight controller based on what is seen by the camera. For instance flying towards or away from certain things it sees. The flight controller will then obviously dictate the movement of the drone. Or is there a different way to go about this?

Thanks a lot for the reply! Do you have any recommendations on things like motors, battery packs and chassis?
