I have just spent the last few hours jacking around the internet trying to find mirrors of the openpilot wiki. Why would I need to look for a mirror? Because the friggin wiki FROM openpilot is shut down. Their forum is shut down. There is nothing helpful, other than firmware, that you can get from those people.
I was trying to plan out some videos for the CC3D that needed to be done, but without being able to do research, I can't do any of it.
What I was trying to search was connecting up the bluetooth adapter that I had lying around. You can plug and play on an Ikon, but you can't do that on a CC3D. You have to go in and set ports, fire up putty or BT_config and go in and change the baud rate. It states on the mirror site that you can use the CC3D as an FTDI adapter and it does show up in your device manager, but when you try to connect to the bluetooth adapter, you get nothing. NO MODULE FOUND!
With the wiki gone, the forum gone and very little help out there, I think this CC3D is going in the trash. I have fought this damn thing since day 1 and I'm absolutely tired of it. Open source is great until they shut everything down, then it's useless.
So I guess my 250 is out of commission until I can afford a Naze32, which is the next FC I want to try. It really sucks that openpilot would just shut down like this. Just a few months back, their whole site was shut down. Now the site is back up, but that's it.
Oh well, guess it's time to plan other videos.
