I've been working on getting Ardupilot 2.6 working. I've never had any other Ardupilot load running on this particular board. One strange thing I've found is that when I switch to any auto mode (RTL,…Continue

Hey all, I was hoping for some tips. I'm trying to get 4 channels (ail/ele/thr/rud) of input and output working on my ArduPilot Board. I'm starting with the recent 2.6 version of the code. I've…Continue

Tom Hastie replied to Hyon Lim's discussion Have anyone used Castle ESCs?"Yep... all the Castle Creations ESCs I have had have been auto calibrating by default.
What this means is each time they boot, they watch your throttle stick to fine tune the end points. This isn't a big problem on most airplanes that…"
Tom Hastie commented on jasonshort's blog post Arducopter Beta 2.0.38"Cool. Thanks for the answer.
Is 0.37 the "old way"? Or the "new way". I only got my quad back in the air last night after a month of no flying, so I'm using 0.37 which was the latest available via the Mission…"

Tom Hastie replied to Grant Maxwell's discussion counter rotating propellers"Slow flyer are fatter blades and generally lower pitch. They are more efficient on slow flying aircraft. They also tend to warp if you spin them too fast.

Have you tried more with Arduimu on gas planes? How did you manage to damp the vibration issues?

Thanks!"

I have a new version of 2.7 to upload soon that has double the CH3 and CH4 resolution - 4µs steps. You should be able to try it by tomorrow if testing goes well."

First Flight with Ardupilot 2.6
Posted on April 14, 2010 at 7:52pm 6 Comments 0 Likes
I had a couple of very brief flights with my slightly modified ArduPilot 2.6 code this evening.
I only had the chance to do a couple of passes in fly by wire mode, but the initial results are promising.
Still some gain tuning to do, but this isn't bad for a first attempt.
In the plot below:
Blue line is bank angle
Red line is pitch
Green is heading.
Blue DOTS indicate times when the Ardupilot was in Fly By Wire…
Continue ArduPilot Channel 4 Code
Posted on April 14, 2010 at 7:00pm 10 Comments 0 Likes
In case it is useful to anyone, here is my code for controlling the 4th channel through the Ardupilot board.
The main thing that stumped me for a while is you need to change timer2 from CTC mode to Normal mode. The default Ardupilot code has Timer 2 in CTC mode which resets the counter every time the throttle compare interrupt is captured. To drive two channels you need to be in Normal mode allowing the timer to go all the way to 255 before resetting.
Channels 3…

I think I've debugged one of the issues I was having with my OpenLog connecting to Ardupilot. This will probably be blatantly obvious to you veteran Arduino Programmers, but it got me, so I figured I'd post in case it helps anyone else.
After a few flights with only the open log and the ArduIMU, I decided to integrate the ArduPilot board and move the logger to the Ardupilot board. My ArduIMU was now talking to the…
