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

"Are all the tablets and phones that this has been tested with been able to power up the 3DR radio?  I don't see anyone mentioning having to inject power from an outside source."

My first guided flight.

Posted on April 18, 2013 at 9:11am 8 Comments

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…

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…
