Thanks!

I had a good poke around with the rumble this evening, looked at the source code for both linux and mac drivers and it looks like it's sending the correct thing, but throws an error, very strange.

The mac driver I'm using adds a system pref pane which makes the motors rumble when you pull the triggers, so it is possible.

So I managed to get rumble working, mainly by brute forcing every combination until one made the controller vibrate!

Excellent. Look forward to using it. Maybe when the drone crashes it should rumble

You could also look for the vision error warning and rumble on that, usually happens when you get close to a wall.

I did, just got back from holiday so not had time to play around with it yet.

Looks good, should get it merged in a few days.

That patch is what I did on my holiday. Enjoy.. Still have to figure out how to start the camera to record.
