"Yes Jason this is a slightly modified version of the 2.9.1b. Navigation and attitude is the same, but we push a bit more on the mpu6000 with different gyro full scale, faster sampling and a 250Hz loop. We have the current Arducopter master (AP_HAL)…"

"Did you ever get a reply from Jani? Just curious becuase I have bought a number of these 30A ESCs but could never get an answer to emails for the recommeded settings for use with APM2. I suspect the rate should not be at the default of low."

Add a backup battery on the MTK GPS module.

Posted on May 31, 2012 at 2:28am 40 Comments
