2009-10-01 Thread Jacob Burbach
In recent cvs I get errors about having Ki or Kd in my pid controllers config. This is unfortunate, as tuning of those values stabilized my autopilot considerably. I wonder if someone can explain what changes are going on in that area of code. Are Ki and Kd forever gone, and what path should I

Hi, I did some experiments both with hg and git, and collecting responses. IMHO there is no real technical point to prefer one of DVCS'es. * Tim Moore told us gitorious have push too. * msysgit is a little bit better integrated in Windows -- for instance simpler file name mapping. * with
