Just swapped my APM2 for an APM2.5 - all reload and fine apart from the Altitude. I've re-loaded firmware several times and re-loaded config, Even re-done config from scratch but I still get…Continue
Motor Leds Error

I'm still looking into how this happened today but just as a warning to anyone using motor leds there is a possibility of the LEDS flashing (Indicating DISARM) but the ARDU is in fact ARMED !Today I…Continue

Having finished the camera Gimball I'm very happy with it apart from the control I've got over the servos from the APM2.0The movements seem very coarse and slow. If I tilt the machine quickly the…Continue

Thank you for your post !"
Mark Slater replied to oejang aja's discussion Mission Planner slow and cannot upload firmware"Any resolution to this - My MP is so slow its just not useable.
Connection takes more than a minute and the MP keeps freezing for long periods "

See https://code.google.com/p/arducopter/issues/detail?id=288When in position mode my HUD displays 'Unknown' on the log playback. Is there a fix ?See More
Mark Slater replied to Dave C's discussion Is my APM 2.0 broken?"Dave,
I had this after swapping to the 2.5 from the 2.0 - I loaded the settings from a saved file and had spikes and jumps all over the place with an added negative altitude theat put it somewhere near the earths core.
Erase the eeprom a few times…"
Mark Slater replied to Bill Patterson's discussion Can this affect level so badly?"Yes I've had problems with the HUD rolling all over from plugging and LED in the wrong output port - where did you plug it in ?"
Mark Slater replied to David Harvey's discussion Possibly faulty barometer component in APM 2.5"Yes I found the same solution last night and resolved by erasing.
I also had a secondary problem where the mission planner showed movements whilst the APM was sat still.
The erase cured this as well"
Mark Slater replied to Mark Slater's discussion Help Altitude Config"RESOLVED::
I save the parameters into a file, erased the Eprom - 3 times to be sure, re-loaded the parameters. Problem gone - Yipee.
Just a note, loading a PARAM file does not restore all parameters. For example the battery monitoring config seems…"
Mark Slater replied to David Harvey's discussion Possibly faulty barometer component in APM 2.5"I'm having the same symptoms - can't find a solution. Mine is a brand new APM2.5
I disconnected the compass but same result"
Mark Slater replied to AndyMck's discussion Quads climbs and keeps going when set to althold"Is your problem the same as mine I wonder - What altitude does your APM report when its on the ground ?"

Just swapped my APM2 for an APM2.5 - all reload and fine apart from the Altitude. I've re-loaded firmware several times and re-loaded config, Even re-done config from scratch but I still get this...My Apm2.0 reports 73cm and that is accurate why does the 2.5 show -21474836.00 ?See More
Mark Slater replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy"What I've found this weekend (Using APM2 with in built Mediatek)
The GPS accuracy in loiter was much better at 2.91 even with a fair gusting wind it held within 2m. When I played the Tlog back later I found the loiter was good but about 5…"
Mark Slater replied to Mark Slater's discussion Motor Leds Error"This appears to be a timing issue. The Ardu will disarm if left but there is possibly a window of opportunity where the Motor Leds indicate disarm before the Ardu has actually completed the disarm.
Still checking for reliable reproduction of the…"
Mark Slater replied to Lito P's discussion Random motor surges"This was a problem with Futaba RX and there was an update for the PPM encoder in the Ardu. Since you are using a PPM signal I'm not sure its valid however you might want to review this problem and see if it solves your…"

I'm still looking into how this happened today but just as a warning to anyone using motor leds there is a possibility of the LEDS flashing (Indicating DISARM) but the ARDU is in fact ARMED !Today I armed the Ardu and the lights went solid as expected but I was slow to increase the throttle, the lights started to flash indicating DISARM however I still had power to the motors and took off normally. I hovered for a full 5 minutes with the LEDS Flashing.Please be cautious, can one of the…See More
