Hello, I am having some issues with my input 1. I purchased the pre-soldered 2.5 so I don't think it is a soldering issue. Anyway I have all the connections hooked up in my outputs and inputs and…Continue

Jonathan McClanahan commented on Biggles's blog post APM 2.5 + X8 Wing First Flights"Would you mind emailing me the configuration files you are using? My email address is circask8ers@gmail.comThanks,Jonathan McClanahan "
Jonathan McClanahan replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"I use UDP for the link "
Veikko Vierola replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"Jonathan, what kind of script do you use to initialize the modem? Do you use UDP or TCP protocol?"
Jonathan McClanahan replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"I'm so sorry I never scrolled down past the picture. If you still want to know anything about my plane let me know. I actually am using a bixler as well, very nice platform for a FPV. Having cellular telemetry opened a whole new door…"
Will Snodgrass replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"Sorry, I just assumed you had a quad. But especially since you have servos and what not, it's a good thing your running a BEC. So leave the ESC alone and hook it up like normal.
The BEC should get power at the same place as the ESC, in…"
Jonathan McClanahan replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"Does a plane have a power distribution board? Again sorry I'm new to this. As for the power wire I'm only running one ESC BEC to power the APM and one external UBEC to power the drone cell so would I need to disable the red wire? I thought…"
Will Snodgrass replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"That's fine, but I would hook it into the battery at the power distribution board.
As for the ESC's, the common thing to do is to disable the power wire on all but one of the ESC's where they connect to the APM."
Jonathan McClanahan replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"Thank you guys so much there is no way I would have found this out from the manual. Just to summarize I'm taking my ESC and plugging that into my APM 2 like i normally would. Then I plan to use the external BEC that was recommended to me and…"
Veikko Vierola replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"This is how i do it:
I have tested it with 3A BEC and it works.
"
Will Snodgrass replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"Ok, your current ESC's all have a 3 wire plug that goes to the APM "output" rail. The 3 wires are Power (+5v) Ground, and Signal. 3DR Recommends only using one of the ESC's to power the APM, and it will get that from the power…"
Jonathan McClanahan replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"Thanks so much I was very lost. Sorry to ask more questions but my current setup includes a ESC with a built in BEC could I just use that to power the drone cell? How do I power the APM? If I get another external BEC how do I connect it to the drone…"
Will Snodgrass replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"A BEC (AKA UBEC)
Just hooks up to your battery (12v) and the other end puts out 5 volts.a very clean 5v at that. Very Simple, I picked up a 5amp model from HK for about $5 and It works great. There are a bunch to choose from, and most of them…"
Simon replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"While testing, I have been powering it from an old laptop power supply (i think it was 12V). I never built it into a plane, therefore i didn't bother to use batteries.
Cheers,

Jonathan McClanahan replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"How do you power your Drone cell? Is it possible to power the drone cell from its own battery? "
Simon replied to Jonathan McClanahan's discussion Hooking up Drone cell in the group Telemetry over cellular IP"I cannot give you an example for the wiring but I can give you the following advice:
About 1 Year ago I have been toying around with the DroneCell and it behaved strangely. I could connect and I got a prompt via Serial console. However, when the…"
