I was starting to stray another forum off topic, so I thought I'd post here. I've been having a bunch of trouble lately regarding flying in these snowy conditions. There is almost a foot of snow…Continue

Hello,My quad running 2.9.1 (APM 2.0) seems hold altitude quite well in altitude hold mode and loiter. However, in altitude hold if I try and fly around it climbs. I tried guided mode and a point…Continue

Epic storm shot 2
Little did I know a thunderstorm was approaching! Edited and clipped from 3 frames of video at 60fps.
Acorn commented on Ted Van Slyck's blog post FPV Camera Mount"Yes. The lego parts could be used to Pan/Tilt, among other applications. Legos are pretty cool."
Ted Van Slyck commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post T3 Qube results"Sweet! Thanks Gary! I had a great time participating, looking forward to the next one. "
Ted Van Slyck commented on Ted Van Slyck's blog post FPV Camera Mount"Thanks for the complement Sgt. Ric!
Acorn: Do you mean like a pan tilt? Maybe my next design will incorporate that, would be cool. "
Acorn commented on Ted Van Slyck's blog post FPV Camera Mount"I haven't started playing around with FPV but I have some ideas with what to do with some of my childrens legos parts that are hinged. You tend to come up with these ideas when you have small children."

Ted Van Slyck posted a blog postFPV Camera Mount
I can't be the only one who has had some trouble coming up with a good way to mount an FPV camera on their quad. So I designed a simple snap together mount that I would like to share! This thing presses together and glues to your frame with some hot glue. It weighs 5 grams. I designed it with universal (should be anyways)…See More
Ted Van Slyck commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post T3 season two, the multirotor one."Richard, you have a good looking cube there, I'm gonna have to go do a better one now, mine is subpar!
Here is my latest attempt. I only flew each vertical once, total time about 13 minutes. Finish cell voltage was 3.7 per cell. I have a…"
Ted Van Slyck replied to Ted Van Slyck's discussion unexpected behavior in auto takeoff"my copter started doing some more bad stuff...it was constantly writing bad compass offsets after every flight?! Also when level it showed crooked. I tried power cycling a few times and no go.
EEPROM clear, total reset of all params and…"
Mike Boland replied to Ted Van Slyck's discussion unexpected behavior in auto takeoff"Arducopter has been doing this since 2.7 or 2.6. Only way to reset that I have found is to power off.
It is very random, although I have seen it a lot less with the new 2.9.1
But 2.8 would do it nearly every 2nd or 3rd attempt at a mission if you…"

Hey everyone,I have done auto takeoffs before, but today my mission had a hiccup.I flew the copter to the home position I programmed, landed, disarmed, armed, and just got the props turning, then engaged guided mode. The copter took off to an altitude of about 2 feet then just loitered there. I let it loiter for at least a minute. I could nudge it around, but the throttle was useless, so I know it was in guided. …See More
Ted Van Slyck commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post T3 season two, the multirotor one."Thank you Randy! I used the grid v2 function with waypoints 50m apart to get the points. I set the waypoint radius to 50m to check the accuracy, then set it back to 10 (i think). I copy pasted the waypoint lat longs to get the same point for each…"
Ted Van Slyck commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post T3 season two, the multirotor one."A little over 10 minutes. I only did 30 seconds at the corners. This was a dry run for me to see how the battery would hold up, I finished with 3.8v per cell, so the extra two minutes should not be a problem I think, but that was not measured under…"

EPP FPV Wing Project

I have designed my own flying wing and had it cut from flyingfoam. I would love the input of some of the members of DIYDRONES. The span is 60", I chose an MH60 airfoil and added about 2 deg washout. I cutout the motor mount and servo mounts on my CNC router.…

I haven't bought the apm 2.5+ board yet, because I was afraid that it won't work well with the epp fpv. ;) Maybe I'll order it within the next days. Hopefully the navigation is working well because I live in an alpine area and a navigation failure will lead to an unrecoverable plane.. :P cheers
