"If we can log RAW data at sufficient speed, why not push that data to the MP and let the mission planner do the math?

Is there an easy way to run only one motor?
Started Mar 17 0 Replies 0 Likes
Hi all,I build a hexacopter and I'm facing some issues with vibrations. All my motors are soldered and I have a single connector for all motors on the APM that cannot be removed without disassembling…Continue

Pid configuration in recent Mission planner

In more recent versions of the mission planner there are two ways of entering PID values, one is the 'arducopter config' tab that is more or less the same as the older versions, and then there is…Continue

Gerrit Jan Baarda replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 released"It would be nice if there was some kind of "motor balance" mode. Basicaly a mode where you can choose which motor to run, and then read outthe live data of the accellerometers in the missionplanner."
Gerrit Jan Baarda replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 released"Hi Randy,
So am I correct in saying that one could calibrate the APM board (with casing) before it is build into the quad? I'm thinking about connecting the board and running the leveling sequence while resting the case on a table in various…"
Gerrit Jan Baarda commented on David Mobach's blog post Telemetry radio case for XBee & 3DR style radios"Are those the same Hammond Electronic boxes the you can get at Conrad? I use those as enclosures for most of the small PCB's that tend to accumulate around the APM. Diydrones would take a look at those boxes and design their PCB's so…"
Gerrit Jan Baarda replied to Gerrit Jan Baarda's discussion I think there is something wrong with my compass, how can I check?"Yes your description sounds very similar. However your seem to talk about a new installation whereas my copter flew fine before I crashed it. I started flying it at the time the Ublox GPS became available and up until a few weeks ago it would loiter…"
Simon Gibson-Poole replied to Gerrit Jan Baarda's discussion I think there is something wrong with my compass, how can I check?"Hi,
Thats ounds very similar to what mine did yesterday (and that was also after a crash when I attempted a RTL). Take a look at the jpg from my thread http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/interesting-crash-from-loiter and see if your nav…"
Gerrit Jan Baarda posted a discussionI think there is something wrong with my compass, how can I check?
A while ago I had a bad crash (prop failure), and now my copter is not loitering properly anymore.What happens is that it initially does fine for a few tens of seconds and then it starts circling with ever increasing speed.When I calibrate the compass, it shows very different calibration offsets every time. But each time I do it, I get the same behaviour in flight first it's stable, then it starts circling.On the missionplanner screen I see no major (Ublox) GPS problems.I have an APM 2.0 board…See More

Gerrit Jan Baarda commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Introducing the new better, cheaper APM 2.5+ kit (with power supply/sensor, enclosure, new GPS)"Pricing for the uBlox module seems a little weird:
If I order the APM2.5+ without GPS (159.99) and a separate uBlox module (49.99) total cost is 209.98,
but is I order the APM2.5+ directly with uBlox GPS its 229.99? "
Gerrit Jan Baarda replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.8 / 2.8.1 released"Yes this exactly opposite to what should happen. I think that when the copter heads home it should always yaw 'tail towards home'. "
Gerrit Jan Baarda replied to u4eake's discussion APM 2.5 with NEO-6M ublox gps (not 3DR LEA-6)"How do you connect the module to the board, does one need something like this or are you connecting through a serial port?"
