"Since my last message I have reverted to my APM1.4 as I understand it has a straight passthrough in Manual mode. My throttle failsafe is still set up as previously. When I am in Auto mode and I power down my transmitter, it immediately…"

Thanks for you responses.
Although I love to play with Arduplane, I am very much a layman when it comes to the technical aspects of the functioning of the firmware and mission planner software. My progress is in baby steps with…"

Scott Fuller replied to Fred Forbes's discussion Mission Scripting Videos in the group ArduPlane User Group"I noticed that the other day when I was trying to figure out the loop a mission. I'd like to see what else the video had to offer. I ended up finding the answer to the loop question by doing some fancy Googling of the forums. Turned out I…"

"Hi Fred,
I changed them to private as the mission scripting had some significant changes that made the videos inaccurate and confusing. I forgot to change the wiki."

Fred Forbes replied to Fred Forbes's discussion Issue with APM 2.62HIL"I tried 2.40 and it worked fine"

Fred Forbes posted a discussionIssue with APM 2.62HIL
I'm running APM 1(1280). If I load Arduplane 2.62 with the APM planner, the MAVLINK connection is successful. If I load Arduplane 2.62HIL the MAVLINK connection is unsuccessful (only one heartbeat received).Anyone know whether this is an Arduplane 2.62 or APM planner issue?See More
Fred Forbes replied to Curt Olson's discussion Please help me understand how the APM2 auto/manual switch is implemented. in the group ArduPlane User Group"Hi Curt
Bummer indeed! I learned awhile back that APM 2 had software controlled manual. I was unhappy with that for the same reasons as you. What I didn't know was what I learned from the reference given by Paul, APM2 is…"
Fred Forbes replied to Fred Forbes's discussion Receiver failsafe issue with APM2"Thanks for your previous reply. For some reason I can't reply to it. Anyway in another thread someone has stated that you only need to upgrade the PPM firmware if you have a 9X receiver.
I'm going to continue my investigation…"
DeveloperR_Lefebvre replied to Fred Forbes's discussion Receiver failsafe issue with APM2
"Yes, exactly. IMO, the APM adds a whole bunch of safety to R/C aircraft. It's not foolproof, and it still requires the user to understand and setup their failsafe. But it's much safer than without the APM.
Anybody who…"
BR928 replied to Fred Forbes's discussion Receiver failsafe issue with APM2"Well we have to assume the APM is functioning or all of the software improvements are a moot point. I have yet to have mine lock up so far. MyGeekShow guys saved their plane the first day when they let the RC transmitter battery die. I would have to…"
DeveloperR_Lefebvre replied to Fred Forbes's discussion Receiver failsafe issue with APM2
"What's your point?
When has an APM ever been shown to lock-up? (since the I2C hang was fixed).
What other piece of electronics can do something intelligent *after* it has hung?"

Ardupilot roll functional flow diagram
Posted on July 29, 2009 at 1:59pm 7 Comments 1 Like
I'm installing Ardupilot in the 6 foot wingspan electric Telemaster. As this is a significantly different airplane than the Easy Star I want to proceed slowly and carefully. If I can I am going to adjust and confirm PID settings, etc, one function (roll, climb and speed) at a time, starting with roll. I decided I needed to have a good idea how the roll software is implemented in Jordi's and Chris' marvellous software. So I embarked on developing the functional flow diagram shown here. It is… Continue
