I have multiple 900Mhz Xbee modems and XtreamBee Boards. One of my XtreamBee Boards stopped working. The only LED that lights up is the "ON". Is this repairable?Continue

John Johnson commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Retractable pan/tilt gimbal, now in mini size"I have been working on a similar project and I have experienced some problems that this designer has not addressed yet.

I have been operating a flying wing for a few weeks now with success. On my second flight, the motor was surging right after takeoff so I attempted to land but roll and pitch commands became unresponsive and so did my ability to change flight modes from my Spektrum TX. I tested on the bench when I got home with some full power runs but couldn't find any issues. A couple of times the roll angle exceeded the limits applied in the Parameters and eventually it appears that the inputs from the…See More
John Johnson replied to John Johnson's discussion Heading "went South""During flight, the Mission Planner often did not indicate a correct heading. Often it appeared that the aircraft was flying sideways or backwards. Winds were not an issue."
John Johnson posted a discussionHeading "went South"
I have a flying wing with APM 1.0, software version 2.3. Last Sunday it flew multiple flights flawlessly with 4 auto landings. I built a second wing with identical hardware but I updated the Mission Planner and the APM to version 2.33 but left the first wing with version 2.3. When I flew the first wing yesterday, the heading was all jacked up once it got in the air. Is this because I needed to update the APM firmware to match the latest Mission Planner software? Log file attached.See More
John Johnson posted a discussionAirspeed Error When Battery Monitor Connected
I am using APM 1.0 with the latest software (2.5.3). I just added the wires to monitor battery voltage and noticed that the Mission Planner now displays airspeed up to 9 or 10 but then displays airpseed as 0 when I disconnect the battery monitor wires.What could be the problem//solution?See More
