I have two copters each with it's own transmitter. The problem is they are different types of transmitters. So in order to make it easier to remember the switch assignments on the transmitters, I…Continue
Loiter Hold/RTL/Auto mode in wind

I'm curious to know how much wind you all have been able to get loiter hold, RTL, or even Auto mode to work in. So far, I've got loiter and rtl working in up to 10mph winds. I haven't tried auto…Continue

I know this report is a bit late but I just flew my custom hexa (apm2) and tried alt hold and loiter for the first time on this copter. I was surprised and impressed that alt hold works perfectly. …Continue

Vishal replied to u4eake's discussion APM 2.5 with NEO-6M ublox gps (not 3DR LEA-6)"I was able to get the settings changed and the when I connect it to the apm2.5, it gets a fix. However, as soon as it gets a 3D fix, the artificial horizon in Mission Planner moves a little on it's own while the apm is still. Is this…"

Vishal commented on Matt Gunn's blog post How to trigger a Canon camera through an RC transmitter"Roger, I believe Matt is correct that the camera must be on to use the requested command.
However, I've been looking into how to control lens retraction with CHDK. You could just leave the camera on but have a script to extend and…"

Vishal commented on Kevin Hester's blog post Android Ground Controller, alpha release"This looks to be a great tool! I'm very interested in purchasing an inexpensive Android device to run this on. Any suggestions for a device that would work well with this app yet cost under $200? I don't mind buying a used one…"
Vishal commented on Matt Gunn's blog post How to trigger a Canon camera through an RC transmitter"To my understanding, you can setup different functions at different pulse widths. So, a specific pulse width could trigger the shutter. A different pulse width could zoom the lens, switch to a different photo mode, etc. "
Vishal commented on Matt Gunn's blog post How to trigger a Canon camera through an RC transmitter"The power via usb is to trigger the camera shutter. One of the many functions of CHDK is that it allows you to use the usb port to trigger the camera shutter since most of these small cameras don't have infrared triggers. So once…"
Vishal commented on Matt Gunn's blog post How to trigger a Canon camera through an RC transmitter"Great video! CHDK is very nice indeed! I've been using it for a while now for triggering the shutter. What I'd like to do next is figure out the scripting to retract the lens for landing and go into the photo review mode on the…"
Vishal replied to Kristian's discussion Shooting direct down"Hi Don, I just use a separate fpv camera mounted near the lens. I'm not sure how much lag these HDMI to AV converters have. If you try one, let me know your thoughts on it."
Vishal replied to Neil Baker's discussion Point and shoot camera with video out?"I have an older Canon point and shoot camera with CHDK on it (SD750). The problem I experienced with it is it won't allow video out and the usb port to be used for triggering at the same time. When I hook up both, it keeps taking a photo every…"

How much wind can Arducopter handle? A test...
Posted on August 16, 2012 at 7:30am 2 Comments 1 Like
I've been wanting to check wind handling capability with my old quadcopter which I use for testing purposes. The problem is that it's been very calm for wind speeds here for the past month. But today was a great opportunity. I checked the weather this morning it said 16mph with gusts up to 24mph. So I grabbed the quad, radio and anemometer and headed out to a…

I wonder if this could be used with the APM? Pretty interesting to see this now available for less than $300.
