"Update - I now have the antenna working in a full 360 degree rotation, however there is another problem.
When flying counter-clockwise around the tracker, it reaches its endpoint and spins around 360, and continues tracking. However, when flying…"

"Ok I did some field testing today. The tracker works, but seems to have a very narrow 'angle' in which it operates.
If the plane is within a certain 90 degree wide band, the tracker operates well. Once the plane moves outside this band, the tracker…"

"Hi Fred, no the quad does not have to be armed for tracking to work."
"Hi Keith
My parameter files are attached to my first post above. Take a look at them and let me know if I can help further :)"

"Thank you Keith!
I have now got the telemetry working, the plane and tracker are talking, and the tracker moves when I move the plane around.
I think I need to adjust the PIDs to get it pointing accurately. Once I have everything operating properly…"

"I haven't read the whole thread, but my question is: was the reason for it hitting the ground that it took too long to RTL?"
"Hi Randy
I am having some problems with Antenna Tracker, hoping you can help, I think it is something obvious I am missing.
The problem seems to be that the antenna tracker and the plane are not talking. I don't get the plane showing up on the map,…"

"I've performed some bench tests and have found there is a voltage drop on the APM side when all modules are connected. Here are my findings:
With only apm connected to power module Power module output: 5.49v Apm board voltage: 5.14v
With apm, GPS,…"

Hi folksI have had two crashes with APM 2.5 - both with identical symptoms.All functions will work normally, and then at a certain point (seemingly randomly) the following will happen:All RC servo control is lost - aileron, elevator, rudder.OSD…
