MiniAPM v3.1

Posted by Shane Hopcroft on May 17, 2014 at 7:29pm

Hi,

I noticed a reference to this in a blog post:

http://www.goodluckbuy.com/miniapm-v3-1-mini-ardupilot-mega-2-6-external-compass-apm-flight-controller-for-multicopter-fpv.html

It looks too-good-to-be-true to me.

I was wondering if anyone had already purchaed one of these, and if so - are they any good?

Shane.

Helyo Sergio de Faria Pereira - The XSR has a CPPM output, see the instruction manual (which comes with the product and is available on the FrSky website) for more info on that. The APM 3.1 has a CPPM input, see Andrew Gill’s comment above for a diagram.

Could someone help me connect the FrSky XSR receiver to the Mini APM 3.1?

I've connected mine OK. All I had to do was adjust the cals to get the readings accurate. Can you measure the voltage and current signals on the back of the APM pm connector?

Has anybody had problems getting the voltage/current monitor to work on the APM Mini 3.1? I have everything connected properly but both MP and OSD register 0 for voltage and current. No changes to any settings seem to work. I thought I had read on another forum that this is a problem with the 3.1 but that people have gotten it to work. Can anyone confirm this and if so what did you do to get it working.

Plus you need the link soldering in place as shown earlier

Hi,

Just started experimenting on these boards...

Has anyone any idea as to if it's possible to connect a differential pressure sensor (aka speed sensor) on these boards?

:)

Also can status leds and a buzzer work with this? if so, where should i connect them?

Ps: The internal magnetometer does seems reliable... should we bother connecting an external one?

Thanks !!

Here's mine, just before I swapped out the APM for a naze32. Once arducopter has TPA code, it'll go back in.
