Hi all, it's my first post as an Arduopter owner! I just got my 3DR-C in the mail this past week and I have been really impressed with the design and quality of the product. I'm running APM 2.0…Continue

Dom P replied to swaroop.hangal's discussion XBee telemetry in API mode"Swaroop and Christian,
I also am trying to get the xbees working in API mode, but I am getting stuck with implementing the code. I don’t have too much programming experience, but I have been doing a lot of research on API mode. I…"
Dom P replied to Para's discussion Low-KV / large prop trouble"Para,
I am working with a similar airframe with low Kv motors and large props. I am also having problems tuning and I was wondering if you have tried out Jason's recommended PIDs? I have only lowered Rate_P; it seemed like the…"
Dom P commented on Randy's blog post ADNS3080 Optical flow sensor now available in the DIYDrones store!"Hi,
I am getting some mixed results with OF_loiter. It has been really overcast when I have flown, but the surface quality has been well above 20 (60 - 100 range). Today I had a couple of rock solid OF_loiters, but most of the time, my…"
Dom P replied to Dom P's discussion New Motor Issue"Jason, thanks for all the good info, I think I will have to replace the motor.
Doug, the damage was not as obvious on my motor. All wires were connected, the broken wires are only noticeable when I took the motor apart. …"

"Motor wire is covered in lacquer and must be removed with an acid. I think you can also burn it off. The copper must be exposed or you wont get a good solder joint. RCTimer has some of the same motors that you can use as cheap replacements. I find…"

Hi all, it's my first post as an Arduopter owner! I just got my 3DR-C in the mail this past week and I have been really impressed with the design and quality of the product. I'm running APM 2.0 with 850 motors. I am completely new to Ardupilot, but I have been building electric RC aircraft for years. The build was going pretty well, but I have been having problems with one of the motors. When I was initially testing the motors at low speeds I noticed that this one motor made a grinding noise…See More
Dom P commented on Alan Sanchez's blog post 3DR ArduCopter Kits Updated"P.S. I was probably told about 20 times this summer that I could sign up to be emailed when the 3DR and arms came back in stock so that I wouldn’t have to check the website all the time. Good thing I checked the website anyway a…"
Dom P commented on Alan Sanchez's blog post 3DR ArduCopter Kits Updated"I really sympathize with Alex on this one. I love 3DR’s products, but the lack of communication is very frustrating. I ordered my APM 2.0 on July 22, but I was unable to order a 3DR-B because it was out of stock. I got my APM…"
Dom P commented on Alan Sanchez's blog post 3DR ArduCopter Kits Updated"I'm just curious, but I only see one type of replacement arm available in the store. It looks like these are the new shorter ones? If so, will the older arms still be available? If we need a replacement arm for a 3DR-B quad,…"
Dom P commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post Announcing APM 2.5!"Thanks for the help Mike, I just found the page too. I'm definitely saving copies of the pdfs while we still have access to them. "
Dom P commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post Announcing APM 2.5!"Through a google search I found the old product page for the APM 2.0 kit, not assembled. From the sounds of things, you shouldn't order anything from this page, but it does have the pin assembly guide and power protection kit setup instructions…"
Dom P commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post Announcing APM 2.5!"I just got my unassembled APM 2.0 kit in the mail today, but I cannot find the assembly guide anywhere. The card that came with kit said to go to http://tinyurl.com/APM2-0-setup, but I can only find the APM 1 assembly guide there. …"
Dom P commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post Announcing APM 2.5!"Hey, is the APM 2.0 assembly guide posted anywhere? I think it was previously posted to the product webpage, but I cannot find it now. My not assembled APM 2.0 is due to arrive in the mail tomorrow. I thought I would at least have…"
