"You can encode telemetry into one channel of your audio stream, thats what a lot of antenna trackers do. The point of an antenna tracker is that you wont ever loose video because it should outrun your planes range."

xbee loop speed?

Im running an xbee telemetry link at 5600 baud, but I recently noticed that when I connect to it, my copter seems to be a little bit less stable. Is this normal? Should I try reducing the baud to fix…Continue

basshead commented on Jake Wells's blog post My new quadcopter"Yes! I just got my APM working 100% and I like it a LOT better than my naza. RTL is pretty flawless now and I actually trust it like I trusted my Naza, and this is after owning and crashing arround 5 APM's over the years"

"@CyberCrash,
I use the 57600 with either my 3DR telemetry or my homemade Xbee 900 Pro.

basshead replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"It would be pretty cool if for 2.9.2 a linear throttle transition was applied every time the APM took control or gave control of the throttle. "
basshead replied to António Cabral's discussion LiPo battery detected with less cells than it realy has in the group ArduCopter User Group"If your charger has a NiMh mode, you can try trickle charging it at the lowest setting until it's recognized as a 4s battery again. Its really not that dangerous, just be smart and do it in a ventilated fireproof place. "
basshead replied to Michael's discussion Best $150 (or less) radio"Why are you against a Turnigy radio? They are kinda incredible in the same way things like the arduino are incredible, they are cheap with a HUGE community with tons of use-cases and mods behind it. "
basshead replied to Gareth Rens's discussion Running two APMs in tandem"Also they wouldnt be on the same axis, causing weird accelerations diff's between the two.. It would just get messy. Its much better to just have a stab loop without an imax that can correct for a down'd motor."
basshead replied to Han S's discussion mix and match ESC's?"Good to hear, as a matter of fact technically you should be able to use any combination of motors/props/esc's on any of the arms and it will all be compensated (quite nicely now with the new re-routed I term) for."
basshead replied to Han S's discussion mix and match ESC's?"Technically speaking the IMU should just compensate for whatever variances in throttle response different ESC's have. You should be fine. "

Y6 Pulso 2820/14's with 13x6 APC electrics

Alright guys, here's the big heavy lift y6 I have been working on for almost 2 months now! I had it flying perfectly until a crash involving some motor troubles but now that is all sorted out now. I have re-routed the wires through the arms, stepping down the gauge significantly to do so. I also added lights, and as of now am powering the entire thing on one 12v filtered variable PSU rail and a 5v BEC for just the radio.
My wireless video TX is coming in next week and I already have…
