Hi,I've bought both a 433 MHz telemetry kit and a minimosd recently. The 433 MHz telemetry kit is composed of two "air" modules and an USB FTDI cable to connect the ground air module to my ground…Continue

Hi,I've recently purchased an APM2 with a builtin GPS. It is mounted in a HK Turnigy Talon v2 quadcopter. I've had a few flight in stabilize mode and it works well but I cannot get a GPS fix. The…Continue

Helge replied to Remi's discussion problem with my builtin MediaTek MT3329 (APM2)"Hi
I would also like to change the mediatek for a uBlox LEA-6. I have the APM2.0 with built in MTK.
How do I de-activate the mediatek, do I have to unsolder it from the board or can I leave it in?

Michael Wooten replied to Remi's discussion problem with my builtin MediaTek MT3329 (APM2)"Here ya go... what you want. just de-activate the on board GPS, and connect this bad boy up. it has a bigger antenna surface area, and the reviews are incredible. you could extend its height over your gear with a light…"
Leigh Green replied to Remi's discussion problem with my builtin MediaTek MT3329 (APM2)"...Not sure what the go is, as I have been using GPS devices for many years, I developed a tracking system with Franson many years ago and use SANav devices, and leadtek, and even Nokia...all have fantastic GPS pickup, but the Mediatek onboard seems…"
Remi replied to Graham Dyer's discussion Flight Mirror Mode?"Hi
once the WP recorded using this method you only have to switch to auto mode and it will then follow the recorded waypoints ?
Are the waypoints still available after an APM restart (after e.g. changing lipo) ?

Remi replied to Remi's discussion Can I use the FTDI cable shipped with my 433 3DRadio to update my minimosd ?"Hi,
answering to my own question ;)
I've checked that both devices expect 5V, that both devices have the same pinout for GND, +5V, tx and rx and I tested and it worked :)
Another good surprise was Arducam OSD Config perfectly working on…"

Remi replied to Michael Müller's discussion GPS-Lock only via USB"I think your setup is like my first setup when I encountered the same problems as yours. Putting the rx and the ESCs far away from the APM greatly improved things for me, I think you should try. I think you should put the ubec far away as well (or…"
Remi replied to Michael Müller's discussion GPS-Lock only via USB"Hi,
I made some further tests today. I finally ended up to put the ESC at the end of the arms, near to the motors and this + shielded cables + PCB connected to GND below the APM makes perfect GPS locks in 1-2 minutes with 8 to 11 sats. I have…"
Remi replied to Adam's discussion New Quad Build All tips welcome!!!"Hi,
I've assembled it as described above and I can get around 7 minutes flight time with 2200 mAh 3S lipo.

Remi replied to Michael Müller's discussion GPS-Lock only via USB"I connected it to the APM GND which is the same as the 5V one from BEC."
Remi replied to Michael Müller's discussion GPS-Lock only via USB"Hi,
I added a printed circuit board connected to the ground below the APM and replaced every cable with shielded ones and it seems to be a little better. Yesterday I easily got GPS lock where I didn't get any before my mod. Today I added the…"
Remi commented on Michael Springer's blog post ArdupilotMegaPlanner runs natively on ubuntu linux with the program mono"Hi,
I think I get the same issue as Sam. It works fine on both 64bits Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 but it fails with a segmentation fault with both 32bits Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04.
Here's the complete output in the terminal :

Remi replied to Michael Müller's discussion GPS-Lock only via USB"How thick is your CFK plate ? I'll try with a plain printed circuit board I already have first.
Thanks for your answer.
