Hey guys, I am in need of your input. Can anyone recommend a good quad / octo rotor 8ch or 9ch radio receiver combo? I need to get one right away and figured I would reach out to the community for "what works". Riley
Reading the Sonar works for your altitude for <10 feet right? After that the baro takes over. In the APM I see that when I lift the quad over my head I still read like 1m or 0m. Any thoughts on that? In CLI mode it reads like 20cm to 80cm...…
Hey guys I am using the arducopter 2.0.48 release. I have enabled the sonar in the APM planner hardware config. I have booted into CLI mode and went to test >> sonar. If the quad is on the ground I get 20cm. When its more like 5cm. I can lift…
Hello all. I have my quad flying stable right now. I am working on getting missions to work through the apm. I click on the flight planner and set a "Take off" event to 10 (meters right?).I then have it land. I write the way points to the quad.…

"Stupid question? Do I have to use a Magnetometer? With quads? I bought the oilpan thinking it had everything I needed... Is this not the case?

Perhaps I am missing something big here. I have I think pretty much everything working on my quadcopter. I can read all inputs on it from the R/C. My mode switch works... Currently it switches from ACRO, STABILIZE and SIMPLE. My process is the…
I recently got my arducopter assembled and all hooked up. When I go to calibrate my RC through the APM I get readings on everything BUT the throttle. Not sure why? I hook up a servo to that input on the receiver and it works just fine? Any…
I got the DIY Drones APM Oilpan and telemetry kit yesturday. I can get the APM talking to the ground station NP. I hook up the xbee to the oilpan (correctly) and then connect my other xbee to the usb-xbee board I got from the kit. When I hookup…
