Can someone give me some real basic instruction on have to setup the camera code? I arduino installed, but nothing else.

I have gone through setup and set my frame to hexa+When I arm the motors only 4 motors spin. The front and back motors do not spin. Also, when I tilt the copter I was expecting the motors to attempt…Continue

Is there a guide on how to use the arducopter configurator? Just some simple definitions would help really. What is kp rate? What does it affect? When I change the PID settings, how does that affect…Continue

I'm building a hexacopter with ArdupiratesNG code downloaded from Tortoise SVN. My equipment is a Ardupilot Mega 1280, ArduPilot Mega IMU Shield/OilPan Rev-H V1.0, RCtimer motors and ESC's, Futaba…Continue

Saiful Azuwan replied to Matthew Gray's discussion hexa+ not working"It work for me all 6 motor spins. download latest trunk and add this (g.frame_type == HEXAP_FRAME) to line 223, 320, 336 and 365.

Matthew Gray replied to Greg's discussion Two things to tune in ACM2 - help needed"try increasing the stabilize damp value. That helped me."
Matthew Gray replied to Franco Nogarin's discussion Help with Tuning AC2"Here are my findings. In the PID Config- AC2 MAVLINK. Under Other Mix's. Changing Stabilize Damp from stock 0.13 to 0.25. Hexa X is now stable. Not perfect, but much better than stock value. Now I need to figure out how to adjust the GPS…"
Matthew Gray replied to Franco Nogarin's discussion Help with Tuning AC2"Please help with PID's. Someone has got to explain more simple and through how to adjust these parameters. The wikipedia info is just confusing. My problem is my hexa oscillates like crazy. My stabilize kD values are all at 0. Should I go…"
Matthew Gray replied to Gordon's discussion Hexa plus configuration"Yes I did the same thing. hexa+ and it seemed to work. I changed to hexa in x mode and the motors are working now. The PID's are out of wack though. On stock PID's I almost crashed because of so much oscillation."

"Thanks for the heads up. I'm not sure we've tested that configuration, so we'll look at it. In the meantime just a reminder that issue reports should be made in the Issue Tracker. The developers cannot read all the comments here, so…"
Lee replied to Matthew Gray's discussion hexa+ not working"Yes, I'm getting the same results when testing the motors through the CLI. I get no power to the motors when I'm in flight mode and arm the motors. The green LED blinks, but the props don't spin. I'm flying in…"
Matthew Gray posted a discussionhexa+ not working
I have gone through setup and set my frame to hexa+When I arm the motors only 4 motors spin. The front and back motors do not spin. Also, when I tilt the copter I was expecting the motors to attempt to level the copter which they did not do. Help please.See More
Matthew Gray replied to Gordon's discussion Hexa plus configuration"I'm doing the same thing. I'm assuming it's the same as ardupirates with motor 6-7 in front.
See this link> http://code.google.com/p/ardupirates/wiki/RC
Right now It's not working correctly for me. I setup the frame…"
Matthew Gray replied to Nigel's discussion Latest beta not working at all? (as at 9th May 2011)"Why would u have to do anything with the sketchbook? I have no idea what your talking about."
Matthew Gray replied to Nigel's discussion Latest beta not working at all? (as at 9th May 2011)"I can't get it to work either. Initially The code appeared to load and I had some cli function, but I could never make it totally through the setup. I tried to relay the code and now nothing works."

"Mission planner is now replacing old legacy Configurator. ArduCopter 2 (ACM) will support this along with many other features."
Christopher Cooper replied to Matthew Gray's discussion Arducopter Configurator"Here's the ArduPirated page on PID values and tuning: http://code.google.com/p/ardupirates/wiki/PIDSettings
Also look up the wiki article on PID control.
Kp rate is something I never found a definition of in the arducopter wiki, but I'm…"
