"If you can't do it in the software via MP try swop CH1 & CH5 servo plugs on the APM (not AMP), if that doesn't resolve it swop them on the Rx then reverse them to get the correct direction of movement."

Flaperons on AMP

Hello everyoneI would like some advice on flaperons on AMP. I have my plane set up with flaperons and it works as expected in manual mode. I had to reverse RC1_REV to get the ailerons to move in the correct direction when I switch to other flight modes, otherwise both sides just moved in the same direction weather I use flaps or roll stick. Although now when I hit the flap switch the two sides move in the opposite direction of each other.I have my ailerons in CH1 and CH5 of the AMP as in the…See More

"Two main questions: Are you using the correct serial speed in Mission Planner? Are you using the APM with 7.4v plug-pack whilst also plugged into USB?  - It is best not to do this, you could cause an overvoltage ground loop (where the potential…"

AMP2 Potentially dead

Hey everyoneOn my first bench test I made the wrong assumption that my receiver scales the input voltage. I have a 7.4V receiver pack hooked up to the receiver that’s hooked up to the AMP2. I then connected the AMP2 to the PC through USB. Initially everything seemed fine with light flashing. I continued to Mission Planner to set up the plane, although AMP2 fails to connect now.It is still visible in the COM port and 3Dfix is solid so it does still get GPS lock. When I hit connect in Mission…See More
