What can we expect for payment types with the vendors on site? Cash is always good I’m sure but I was specifically thinking about vendors with larger kits and electronics for sale specifically. What is the norm at an event…   Read more»

Another update on vendors. Boy Scout Troop 548 from Longmont plans on doing concessions – hot dogs, chips, sodas – on Saturday.

You rock Tim!

8) My AMW supply is pretty good in the 54MM sizes. Lots of small 75 and a few big ones. LDRS hammered us, but I held back motors for Octoberfest. I have loaner cases, might be fun to try an…   Read more»

Best to let Tim Thomas from Giant Leap know NOW if there’s a special animal you’re looking for. AMW is in Florida and they are still recovering from huricane Fay and LDRS orders.

Do you know if there will be an AMW vendor onsite?

Excuse to fly definitely.Thanks Adrian.I think if I could see how it’s done correctly that would help a lot.Besides we can’t have you setting all the records without having to keep an eye on the rear view mirror. Whats the…   Read more»

I’m planning to be there at Octoberfest. I’ll help you set up Jim Yelle’s download program. I also have some formulas you can use in Excel to remove the extra lines; I was just hoping to get you a cleaner…   Read more»

Ed,I don’t think the excel file is corrupted. I think it’s my flight data. I have downloaded, deleted, edited, cut, pasted ….. You get the picture. It’s just now I’m getting data that doesn’t even match what I started with….   Read more»

Mark,Do you have the orignal Excel data file? I could write a macro that remove every other blank line. That might give you the simplified data you need without the corruption.If so, shoot me an email with the file attached.Ed

well, I have tried about every combination in the settings menu. If I change the translation to Standard JIS the gap in the datastream disappears in hyperterminal, but still remains once captured into notepad.I manually removed the line ends in…   Read more»

I’ve tried it both ways. Same result. I also tried cut & paste, and importing. No luck.Are you going to OF?If so, if you don’t mind, maybe we can sit down & figure it out. It might be something else…   Read more»

Hi All,I am wondering if anyone has tried the Parrot in the Giant Leap avionics bay yet (http://giantleaprocketry.com/hpdefault.asp)? I really like the idea of having all of the “valuables” connected into a single unit and this bay attaches directly to…   Read more»

Having “Append line feeds to incoming line ends” selected could be the problem. Try de-selecting that and let me know if that fixes it.

Yes,What should the emulation be set to? Mine is set to auto detect is that correct?Actually here’s the whole setup as it sits right now.In the settings tab the following is what’s selectedTerminal keysCtrl+HAuto detectANSI500Input Translation is set toShift-JISASCII setupNothing…   Read more»

Mark,Jim’s program looks at a batch file that’s among the files that are zipped up to see which port to use. You have to modify that to match whatever port number the Parrot gets hooked up to. One of the…   Read more»

No, I recaptured & imported the file again but same result. I’m not having any luck with the programs I downloaded from Jim’s website either. I can’t get them to connect to the parrot. Were still trying though.Thanks, Mark

I have been using excel 2003 without any trouble so I don’t recommend going back to Excel 95. I did take another look at the hyperterminal settings under properties/settings/ASCII setup, and there is a selection box for appending line feeds…   Read more»

I haven’t run into this myself, but I have heard from other customers that this is a problem with the newest versions of Excel. If you don’t have a previous version of Excel available, there are a couple of other…   Read more»

I’m using 2000 version of Excel. I might have a 95 version somewhere. I downloaded both programs from Jim’s web page I’ll play with them & let you know.Thanks
