Electrical Engineer interested in building a rotoquad.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I'm interested in the telemetry and aided flight capabilities that UAV gives you. I've purchased a V3 IMU and have an order in for the APM V2.

Does anyone know what might cause this?This was taken from a typical log of an 11 minute flight. Hexa flew great start to finish. This flight was totally in stabilized mode and the flight was fairly aggressive with the hexa being flown like you…
"Thank you very much for taking the time to help. Here's a screen shot of the KMZ in Google Earth. The kmz file is also included. Don't know where I came up with KLM??? :)

Hello,Can you tell me what the different colors represent when looking at a KLM file with Google Earth? The projected path of the copter may have section in blue, green, pink, red, etc. What do this colors mean? I know it's not mode as the KLM's I…
"Bump, can I use the newer 880k motors listed on the 3D site as singular replacements for older style (silver and gold) motors I received when I bought the Hexa from DIY?"
"Looks like I lost a motor as well. 880k motors I have are from the original hexacopter kit. Can I use the 880K motors listed at the 3drobotics store as a replacement for one motor?"
"It looks like I experienced a brownout. "

I've been flying this hexacopter for the last week with no issues. Last night I was flying in stabilize mode fairly aggressively. I think I've experienced a similar failure to some other crash reports I've read. While flying at a good rate of speed…
"Go into Mission Planner, click on configuration, click on Planner. Look at the telemetry rates, what is the sensor rate set to? The default is 2, none of them should be at zero. Don't know if this is it but it would cause your symptoms."
I recently purchased an APM 2.5. It looks like the x axis accelerometer is defective. While the other two axis work fine this one is stuck at 7900. Regardless of what firmware I load or what mission planner I use I can't get it to move. Level…
"Look in the arduino.pde program for the place that controls the flashing of the blue light for the GPS. You will find two case statements and a default statement. The two case statements are backwards case 2 is first. I changed this to only turn on…"
"RANT, Why did DiyDrones charge my credit card 6 to 8 weeks before the APM2 was scheduled to be shipped? I ordered an APM2 about a week ago and during the ordering process I used paypal. When I got to the point of hitting the "pay" button in PP I…"
"It looks like they are both on to me.
I found that the red led staying on had nothing to do with the accelerometers. If you look at line 124 in arduimu.pde you should see that the yellow led is defined to the same output as the red led for version…"

"Well, I've managed to get the GPS to work. Found that the program was not placing the GPS into binary mode. Sparkfun has a GPS demo program available on the page where you can purchase this unit. I carefully removed the pins from the 6 wire…"
I'm running version 1.9 on the IMU. I don't seem to be getting any data from the GPS. I've changed the GPS setting to the correct one and have enabled GPS output in the Arduimu pde. I've also commented out all instances of yellow_led to allow the…
