I went out flying a couple of hours ago and noticed some really weird stuff going on like where loiter would start out ok and then begin to swoop around bigger and bigger until I would have to take…Continue

Suggestion for parameter list organization (camera mount)

Started Feb 1 0 Replies

I'd like to make a suggestion that all the standard parameters that have to do with the camera mount/gimbal be moved to a separate list instead of being mixed in with the rest.  That way if you don't…Continue

Has anyone else had the white connector sockets come off the board when unplugging?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Hein du Plessis Jan 28. 3 Replies

A couple weeks ago I unplugged my power module cable and it took the part of the socket off the APM with it just leaving the bare pins sticking up off the board.  I carefully reinstalled it and put…Continue

"Yes, I have the Oilpan Sheild connected. Sorry, that is the barometer also that I was refering to. I got the APM in a solder together form, soldered it together from the instructions http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Assembly , and…"

AdminThomas J Coyle III replied to Jeff L's discussion Question about compass readings on APM 1 (1.4)
"@Suta, Neither the APM 1 or the 1.4 have a magnetometer or a barometer. The barometer is on the Oilpan Shield. The magnetometer is normally connected to the I2C connection on the Oilpan Shield. Do you have an Oilpan Shield attached to your APM1.x?…"

"Today I soldered the magnetometer using the cable method, and plugged the APM into the computer, The APM would not even power up until I disconnected the magnetometer. I tried to enable the switch in the hardware page of the mission…"

"Thanks, I'm waiting on a OTG cable to see if it works with an old HTC Inspire (Desire HD) that I have laying around.  I had to root it to put 4.1 on it (it only officially went to 2.3) and I was just thinking it may not power up the 3DR…"

My first guided flight.

This was my first guided flight a couple of months ago, just getting around to posting it.  Video is shot with my iPhone in hand, make sure to view in HD.


Trying out 2.9 on a windy day.

Posted on January 20, 2013 at 12:30pm 5 Comments

I had it up and down about 10 minutes yesterday, it was pretty windy so I was mainly just putting it up, trying loiter, then RTL over and over.  I take video with an old deactivated iPhone 4 and it usually does really well, I don't know what was up with the horizontal lines yesterday.

Also note the bad bearing on #4 motor when it spins down, It's…

My first time off the ground.

Posted on January 7, 2013 at 9:00am 6 Comments

I saw another post this morning from someone in NC with a hex, so I figured I'd post a little about my first quadcopter build as I'm in NC too.  I started off building the frame inspired by the 3DR design but made my own arms and legs.  I made taller legs in order to mount an old iPhone 4 I had laying around under it for video recording. 

Here's a couple of pictures from the build and then some video of the first time getting it in the air.  I have had no…
