"Hi Jani!  We're planning to remove one of the pins from A3-A9. Since we're not using them, we're thinking of changing it to another sonar. And with that sonar, we'll try to program obstacle detection to our Arducopter. "

"Well if you would describe a bit more on what do you plan it would be a lot easier to help you. Naturally we do have experience on the code as we created it :)"

Hi people!I am having issues on mounting the APM2 onto a carbon fibre frame. I understand that vibration is the key problem that we need to look out for when mounting. I've asked someone professional and he told me sponge and double-sided tap will not be the correct way of mounting.

"Ervine, thanks for the suggestion! It turned out that the Sonar was faulty. Anyways, i am having real headache with finding unused ADC pins so that i can write another Sonar code for my obstacle detection feature. Any Ideas?"

CHANGING pins A3-A9

Hi, recently i've wanted to edit the arduino code to my own. Firstly, i am looking for the correct pin number of A3-A9 in the Arducopter source code. (Optical flow enable, motor led, so on).http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/APM2board. Anyone knows where can A3-A9 be found? I've managed to find A0 which is for the sonar sensor but i couldn't find A3-A9 as pins anywhere! Any ideas guys?See More

"The barometer is built into the ArduPilot.  You have to buy the sonar and install it.  So if you have not purchased a separate sonar unit you only have barometer."
