ArduCopter V3 Release - The "expensive multirotor flight system" killer!

"Hi fellas, I loaded 3rc2 on my H(Galactica). I edited the code to set H frame, recompiled and deployed to a APM2.5. I connected the board to Mission planner to verify correct functionality. I did a level using Mission planner(this seems to be…"

ArduCopter V3 Release - The "expensive multirotor flight system" killer!

"Hi Graham, thanks for that. I saw the implementation, but did not know where to set the variable value - like this ? #define FRAME_ORIENTATION 3 /* *  PLUS_FRAME *  X_FRAME *  V_FRAME */ Do you have an idea where the HAL board…"

ArduCopter V3 Release - The "expensive multirotor flight system" killer!

"Hi Fellas, I performed a nav test with my H-frame. It flew the waypoints without event(8 waypoints). RTL also worked well. The only issue I had was that at the waypoint, when turning to the new waypoint, the copter would dip violently. When it…"

ArduCopter V3 Release - The "expensive multirotor flight system" killer!

"Hi Guys, thanks for all your efforts. I downloaded 3 rc1 on Sunday. Modified the code for H frame(motor direction). I noticed in the motor_quad unit that provision was made for a H frame with rotation opposite to an X frame, but did not find where…"

"Hi, My H-1 was grounded for gut re-arrangement. I hollowed her out all the way through. I thought there might be some fuselage rigidity issues, but it seems OK. I placed the battery mid-ship and moved the board up to the front. I mounted my GPS and…"

"Vince, youre a star. Problem sorted....hhheeeeehhhaaa. Like I said - I use the MegaPirates software with the AIO board. Found the code and changed the rotation. Works like a dream. The yaw is rock solid and reacts as instructed. Thanks, again, for…"

u-blox NEO-6P GPS chip

Posted on November 16, 2012 at 1:30am 21 Comments

The…
