Poor AUTO flight. Was it due to magnetometer, firmware version, tuning, or ?

No, I did not fly this 'mission'. I just ran it as if I was going to fly it. The 'mission' file was sequenced all the way through because Home and all other way points were within ght waypoint radius.
I could…"
Rick Eis replied to The Old Flyer's discussion APM 2 ArduPlane relay and camera stabilization?"The Old Flyer,
I'm curious, did you really fly this mission? If so did it go well?
Thanks,

AlexP replied to The Old Flyer's discussion Battery selection in APMSetup"I installed an Attopilot yesterday after using the built-in voltage dividers. Same result: low voltage and then realilzed that I forgot to REMOVE the resistors that I installed when using the internal voltage dividers. After removing them, it all…"
José replied to The Old Flyer's discussion We need a TRIGGER command!"I'm sorry, Niels, but I'm afraid your desires exceed what is feasible with a plane and have to be done with helis or balloons.
Sub-cm resolution implies so low altitude or so long focal lengths that makes your plans…"

"It's not, at least not on my v1.2.7."
Amilcar Lucas replied to The Old Flyer's discussion We need a TRIGGER command!"RCx_FUNCTION should be already there in the "Paramater List" view as explained here: http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Tracking"
ModeratorGraham Dyer replied to The Old Flyer's discussion We need a TRIGGER command!
"Thank you very much for the update. I'm using ArduCopter v2.7.1, not the version from the git master however the RCx_FUNCTION that seems critical for this to work is not in the MP (or I can't find it).
Looking forward to when…"
Amilcar Lucas replied to The Old Flyer's discussion We need a TRIGGER command!"Are you using the firmware version built from git master ?
MP currently works fine with arducopter 2.7.1. But does not work at all with git master.
Once git master is released as 2.7.2 then MP will change to work with that, but no longer be…"
ModeratorGraham Dyer replied to The Old Flyer's discussion We need a TRIGGER command!
"Any progress on this trigger?
The wiki page is incorrect as the MP doesn't have some of the critical parameters listed in the Wiki."
Amilcar Lucas replied to The Old Flyer's discussion We need a TRIGGER command!"All of the features you want are already there for both ArduPlane and ArdCopter, AMP1 and APM2 boards.
Just take a look at the libraries/AP_Camera/AP_Camera.cpp file.
It can be configured like described…"

I'm trying to do it working. But wich function did you defined for the RC5_FUNCTION parameter?
Thanks you"
The Old Flyer replied to The Old Flyer's discussion XBee 'Bricking'"I think I'll give up on the XBees.
Our first 3DR Radio 915 set worked well on its first test. We will convert our other airframes to 3DR."
ModeratorGary Mortimer replied to The Old Flyer's discussion XBee 'Bricking'
"I un bricked one on Monday in preparation for a project they are pain. Mine was connected to a cheap ESC when it bricked, I wonder."
John Johnson replied to The Old Flyer's discussion XBee 'Bricking'"When you connect your battery, it causes a lot of voltage spikes. I have seen this regularly brick an Xbee on my buddies aircraft but the same Xbee would not brick under the same circumstances when we tried the same technique…"
