Hi there! I'm quite new here, so here's what I've done so far. I successfully uploaded firmware initially and configured my 3DR quad fully. I had a few successful flights which were great and then…Continue

Forgive the newbie question but I'm a bit confused on how to hook up this receiver to my apm2. I have the Hitec Aurora 9 Tx and purchased it with the Optima 7 Rx. The Optima appears to have male…Continue
When to use CA glue / locktite?

So, I'm finally building a 3DR quad after months of reading up and educating myself and I remember seeing advice to use CA (super) glue or locktite for certain bolts. The online instructions don't…Continue

Joe Bourguignon replied to Joe Bourguignon's discussion APM not able to connect, help a newbie!"OK, after re-reading the entire troubleshooting section, rebooting my computer and re-uploading the firmware, I'm back up and running. Any clue as to why just changing a lipo put the APM in a funky state? Thanks, and I'll try…"
Joe Bourguignon posted a discussionAPM not able to connect, help a newbie!
Hi there! I'm quite new here, so here's what I've done so far. I successfully uploaded firmware initially and configured my 3DR quad fully. I had a few successful flights which were great and then upon changing lipos today, the quad stopped working. The symptom was the ESCs beeping at regular intervals. I brought it home to diagnose and cannot get Mission Planner to connect to it through USB (which it has always done successfully before). I've tried lowering the baud rate to 57600, even…See More
Joe Bourguignon replied to Joe Bourguignon's discussion hitec optima 7 Rx with apm2?"Ha! I just double checked after reading your post and my Tx/Rx did come with a couple of the 3 wire f-f cables... Guess the ones I just ordered from diydrones will sit on my desk.... Thanks!

Chris replied to Joe Bourguignon's discussion hitec optima 7 Rx with apm2?"Right. Except I've bought three different Tx/Rx sets in the past and none have come with female-female type servo leads. One did have several servo extensions though. Nevermind though, I'm pretty sure I have some dead servos around, I…"
DeveloperAndreas M. Antonopoulos replied to Joe Bourguignon's discussion hitec optima 7 Rx with apm2?
"Normally, you would receive 4-5 of these with your RX and TX purchase, as they are needed to connect servos and motors to the RX in a plane/copter without APM.
Basically: to fly without APM you need these cables, they come with your radio…"
Chris replied to Joe Bourguignon's discussion hitec optima 7 Rx with apm2?"Oh dear..
Well, I put through an order for an APM2 several hours ago as it described it as a "APM 2.0 Purple Full Kit Assembled" (that's "Full Kit" there, which to me indicates 'everything needed') and in all my…"
Greg Fletcher replied to Joe Bourguignon's discussion hitec optima 7 Rx with apm2?"They are in the store if you look. When you order the APM it shows a list of whats included and f-f cables are not there.
They are here."
Chris replied to Joe Bourguignon's discussion hitec optima 7 Rx with apm2?"Really, none come with the APM2?
That doesn't seem good."
Joe Bourguignon replied to Joe Bourguignon's discussion hitec optima 7 Rx with apm2?"Is it the same female-female that goes to the "output" pins? So, am I crazy or were none of the female-female cables included with APM2? They were with my APM1, so I scrounged them from it for the motors, but I guess…"

Chris replied to Joe Bourguignon's discussion hitec optima 7 Rx with apm2?"Are you following the guide here: http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/APM2RC
I'm new aswell but from all I've read you should be using female-female to connect your APM2 to your receiver."
Joe Bourguignon posted a discussionhitec optima 7 Rx with apm2?
Forgive the newbie question but I'm a bit confused on how to hook up this receiver to my apm2. I have the Hitec Aurora 9 Tx and purchased it with the Optima 7 Rx. The Optima appears to have male pins, but I think that where it wants to plug into the apm2 to get power is also male pins. Can anybody help me out? Thanks so much!
