What's New in PTB v0.7?

[@seangordonrichards]

Seeing the motor frequency at the end there really is wild! Nice work

[@mgbfpv]

Brian, in the intro you sound a little embarrased of having to charge for your work and you need to justify it. Absolutely no reason to feel like that. You have done an awesome work and I hope you can continue working with this an get a great reward. Thanks.

[@xispaki69]

Great improve would be a Pidtoolbox that read your log and tells you what ideal type of filter and cut off frequencies to use to tune your kuad to perfection.keap the great work 😊

[@MrPepyaker]

Offline filters testing feature is awesome

[@jasukenneth]

Support this man and other devs (BF, elrs, bluejay...), you get the most eazy way to tune your quad to fly as it should "for free" just with hardware costs. If you enjoy this hobby, contribute to making it even better for fraction of costs (one casual takeaway coffee).

[@KerniFPV]

Awesome great update thanks that you keep working on the normal version also, and the price tag for the pro version is just fine, I have to play with the new version but out of the video i would say the different motor over time anlytic screen is absolute insane!

[@noisy_boi_fpv_3920]

Great work will dig into it next build.

[@BenderFPV]

Happy to support!

[@rfly-fpv]

Wow! Great updates!

[@OliverDathe]

[@JoshuaHardee]

Beautiful! Happy to support 🙏❤🔥

[@FebyKris_FPV]

this is AWESOMEEE !!! thank you verymuch!

If you would add some sort of paypal'ish form of payment, I would be happy to pay way more than a one off patreon "fee". This is a valuable product, I just don't like subscriptions.

[@PIDtoolbox]

I’m looking into this

[@ugpfpv361]

Same, don't be offended, I just don't belong to any patreon in any of my interests but I do buy things and am happy to pay

[@PIDtoolbox]

For now it’s Patreon. It’s working well. I’ll be releasing a Linux version there as well and pushing development

[@FPV-oh4do]

If possible, can you provide a Chinese payment interface? For well-known reasons, we cannot pay in foreign currency in China, or it is difficult to make foreign currency payments.

[@PIDtoolbox]

I wish there was a way to do this. I guess you could DM me directly

[@GZC_FPV]

PayPal支付可以直接绑定银行卡 建设银行 我直接就可以付款了

[@OleksandrMaksiuta-g9j]

That's amazing

[@Schitso]

How does paywalling the source code square with it being licensed under GPLv3? Edit in case anyone else is curious: Looks like he's the only one who contributed code so he can do whatever he wants with re-licensing it etc.

[@PIDtoolbox]

Most people do not understand the GPL software license. As the sole developer of PTB, I cannot violate the license of my own code. The GPL license is issued BY the owner (me) TO the user, giving the user rights to use, modify (even sell) that code provided the source is given freely as well. So in GPL, 'FREE' does not mean 0$; 'It means 'freedom to' use/modify/sell. The user can violate the license of someone else's code, but not their own. This gets complicated when there are multiple devs of a project. E.g. A BF dev (or other user) cannot fork a version of BF, modify it, release it, then close their source. This would be a GPL license violation because the code is the copyright of many many people (other devs). HOWEVER, each dev always retains the copyright of his/her own specific code, and can do whatever they want with that. He/she can decide to further develop his/her specific code (excluding contributions of others), without any obligation to anyone.

[@Schitso]

@@PIDtoolbox Yep, hence my edit. It always raises my hackles when I see GPL'd software go closed source since as you noted if there are multiple contributors it has to be done with their permission for it to be legal. (It would never be possible with the Linux kernel for example--by design.) But you've got a clean repo with no other contributors so it's 100% yours.

[@stockleyrod]

Will gladly pay for updates. No love for Linux compiles?

[@PIDtoolbox]

linux version in the works my friend

[@Tonynux]

​@@PIDtoolbox Linux users we are still at v0.55, very old version. Brian, why do you treat us like black sheep? The good shepherd should treat all his sheep in the same way, without making distinctions!

[@PIDtoolbox]

@@Tonynuxwell I was working on a new Linux release but this kind of response does not motivate me at all

[@Tonynux]

@@PIDtoolbox so I apologize. I just wanted to make you think about this point. You have to admit that you left us far behind! We can't still work on INAV logs!
