			at this moment you only can change the motor controller address when you implement asctec in you airframe file.
			<subsystem name="actuators" type="asctec"/>
			Also when you have asctec_v2 motor controllers.
			so replace asctec_v2 by asctec when you want to program the motor controllers.
			!!! Do not forget to put asctec back to asctec_v2 when you want to fly!!!


			implement settings/settings_booz2_asctc.xml in the settings part of your airplane (done in paparazzi center).

			When you program the motor controllers for the first time you have to connect them one by one to the Lisa because they all have been programmed as front address .

			Power on your Lisa.

			In the GCS klick on the tab Settings-->asctec

			set cur_addr to the motor you want to reverse (first time FRONT)

			set new_addr to the motor you want it to be

			and than set cmd to SET_ADDR

			the set_addr commando will be sent 1 time to the motor controller.

			To test the motor, you have to replace the asctec back to asctec_v2 if you have asctec_v2 motor controllers.

-Make sure your motors are spinning in the correct direction. We did this by swapping the brushless motor leads, but it should be possible to do this through Paparazzi's settings menu. This functionality might not yet be fully implemented.
+at this moment you only can change the spin direction when you implement asctec in you airframe file.

	See [[BoozSensorsCalibration]]. The signs on ~~these~~ sensor gains are dependent on the orientation of Booz IMU (the sensor board) relative to the main Lisa board.		See [[BoozSensorsCalibration]]. During the data aquisition stage, be sure to let the vehicle rest in each position. Don't hold it in your hand. This is because the calibration script checks the data for noise and drops data from noisy sections. If ALL your data is too noisy and gets dropped, the script will give you a "too many indices" error. This error may also occur when your logfile is empty.

			If your magnetometer data is too noisy (if you try to calibrate magnetometers when a computer or power supply is close by), the calibration script will take a very long time to run, and then it will give you incorrect results. Plot your data to see if it looks too noisy.

			The signs on the outputted sensor gains are dependent on the orientation of Booz IMU (the sensor board) relative to the main Lisa board. This correction will be automated in a future release.
