Me too.

I made another use profile, I found everything installed much better on it and runs smoother too

Me too Charles, borrowing the APM though.  Computer keeps crashing and burning which is slowing me up a lot.

Well I went and purchased the APM2.5 to try the arducopter blend

I'm still keeping with this project too tho :D

would it fit inside a cf card case? like the one in my picture below

Thats an em406a gps tho , seem to be doing strange things can't seem to connect to it well using any gps tool software

I switched to my ublox5 and have no problems connecting using ucenter

EM406a in cf card case

Ublox5

I really like the antenna for the ublox

I think i'm going to poke it through the top of the fuse on my cessna

APM, that's probably really the best route to go multirotor. 

Charles, your recommendation for the crius Ublox GPS was a good one.  That sucker runs good.  I need a good enclosure for it though.  I dont like having bare circuitry hangin in the breeze.  I saw someone stuck one in a tic tac package.

Made a alternate source to use as my bec supply for my APM & Receiver instead of using my esc bec supply

Almost Finished Top plate

Thats cool you got that tho, Yeah its a groundstation monitor but for now im just using it to test the CL-OSD that I edited & flashed to a Hobbking E-OSD its really small too, about the size of a lighter but thin, using a gps and board camera with my video transmitter ,does'nt wiegh much all together

I still need to find a nice case to put the monitor inside

Whoa, that's nice.  Is that part of a groundstation you're building?

The only thing I'm trying to do is add motor mixing on channels setup for servos.  It sorta works.  I edited the mixing for V-tail by adding throttle so it's like throttle + roll + pitch on one motor and throttle + roll - ptich on the other.  I cant get any response out of rudder except when it adds adverse roll compensation.  There's mixing in multiple places even in EEPROM.  There's 3 layers that I can see.

It does respond correctly to the IMU which is good, just not good enough yet.

Anyway, I'll start using the search and see if anyone else tried multicopter on Ardupilot.

Are you adopting the newer code or doing it from scratch?

is there anyone out there who has worked on a version before ,maybe in the archives way back, I would imagine there must be something out there, lacking the features for a groundstation or telemetry maybe.. but functional enough to work from

 

I never really looked yet I have had so many projects on the go, I have'nt had time to install my legacy on a plane either lol

Did a flash/solder mod to an E-OSD  to add gps input and gps related features (also supporting adupilot) and It turned out pretty well so far

 

Before (as E-OSD)

 

After (as CL-OSD)

It's been a learning code experience too :)
