Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
flew RC gliders years ago Started with Parrot AR 2.0 recently Now building quad "drone" on QuadLugs big-body frame. Planning APM 2.5, telemetry, GPS, OSD, video, FPV. Looking to unscramble motors, rotors, ESC, batteries etc to build successful autonomous quad I can also free-fly, but aerobatics are not in the plan.

"That would be 1/2 watt! That's a honking radio there."
"I have the 915MHz radio from the RCTimer APM 2.5.2 kit, and it has a different range. Just load the default. I see Mission Planner 2.0.14 no longer has an option to upgrade the 3DR radio firmware, or it just won't upgrade this one.
How are people…"

"I have a similar issue.
"3DR" radio (915MHz from RCTimer APM 2.5.2 kit.
I plug in USB radio. Computer responds. Green light on radio blinks.
I power up the quad, green light on USB radio goes solid. Solid green on air radio too.
I run Mission…"

"My Teensy 3.1 arrived today and I was sniffing around on the PJRC site and saw this: Looks like your "teensy"
They claim it won't work with the loader, etc. My controller and receiver (for my Alien 560 quad) should be here in a week or so. That's…"

"I just gave that one source as an example! Since I don't know where you are, I don't know what shipping adds. I'm sorry you took that as a recommendation to pay a lot for shipping. The Teensy 3.1 isn't a very exclusive product -- they're available…"
"It may be the same processor, but why buy something with a different physical layout, when an actual Teensy 3.1 is less money?
Teensy 3.1 with header
It seems to me, buying the correct part the first time may avoid wasting quite a lot of your time."

"TEARIG. Are you referring to the DJT, or XJT module? I'm guessing it's the DJT module you are suggesting can send telemetry from the connection on the back to a computer?"
"So it could be corrected with an update to the code the Teensy is running?"
"I posted this issue on RCForums, in a discussion touting 2.0.7. RCForums OpenTX 2.0.7"
"The best way to diagnose that would be to find out if the Taranis, with 2.0.7 collects cell and cells data correctly with any other configuration (smart port sensor? some other flight controller?). If so, which ones.
There are Taranis forums on…"

"Forgive me for being thick, but "TX" refers to the transmit line from the ground TO the APM, right?
So the APM can SEND data to both radio and laptop, but only receive data from one source?
Thanks!"

"I agree. If cars were sold like technology, they'd limp off the lot and you'd be mailed parts for years.

"Any reason I cannot tap off the telemetry port leads? I already have a 915MHz transmitter for telemetry now, sending data to a laptop (USB receiver), but on occasion I'd like to fly with less gear, so having the telemetry go both ways would be…"
"I now have three other quads besides the Parrot, so I'm not buying another Parrot product (most likely ever). The 2.0 will do whatever it's capable of, and I'll leave it at that.
I just want to achieve the same success others have with the 2.0,…"

"If they put GPS inside the BeBop by default, they should just integrate the guts from the Flight Recorder, then future firmware should apply to both internal and USB-external GPS units.

Does anyone here successfully use QGroundControl for autonomous flights with an AR Drone?Is there a site with better info than the QGroundControl site?I have an AR Drone 2.0, Flight Recorder, etc., and I'm trying to run the QGroundControl software. …
