Hi, Although ym DIP switch is in X mode when i switch from Stable to Acrobatic it changes from X to +. Does is on purpose?  I double checked that i don't have any mixes in my Futaba RC ThanksMaayanContinue

"Hi Paul I have both 1.4 and 2.5, but I don't see a difference in the "stock" logging? Where is the difference? Both logs to onboard memory?"

"Looks brilliant! I'd love to have better logging. Pity only 7 minutes though. Would the apm2.5 be able to store more?"

REAL DataLogging for APM1

 DataLogging for APM1 Hi, For a while I wanted to record my flights for analyzing it later. The problem was that the current recording system is not working well. So I decided to rebuild the whole recording method.The first problem was to determent what parameters/variables I need…. I came up with this list:Servos InServos OutIMU:…See More

"With APM1 there are two choices: Internal resistor (added) AttoPilot module They are mutually exclusive. #1 OR #2. When using the AttoPilot you must add a 3 pin header to the APM1 and connect as shown in the Wiki..and below.   Notice there…"

"You do not use the resitors with Attopilot current sensor. I would cut them out if I were you, the pads are very delicate and unsoldering does not work very well.."

"I am also haveing trouble with this. I get voltage readings quite accurate. But current is accuracy is wery bad. I did not use any resistors.   Have anyone solvd this? :("

Hi, I've been through all the threads here regrading this issue and could find a solution :(I bought the Attopilot current sensor from Sparkfun:http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9028 I added the 3.9Kohm resistor in AN0 (and only in AN0) and i can't get the reading right. I am getting 0.63V-0.64V (correlating to 12.5V in full battery) in the Mission Planner. I check the voltage that comes out of the sensor and its somewhere around 7V. What's…See More
