"Well, this sensor has a normal Serial interface, so will be easy connect to the APM. You just have to try to connect these two pins to an Arduino and check what is the output."

Arducopter 2.8.1 on my APM 1

There was a special warning message that the latest version of Arducopter doesn't work very well on the APM 1, I'd like to know if the problem has been fixed or should I stay on the version 2.7.3.I am trying to have the drone very stable with a weight placed on one bracket, so there is any reason to upgrade my hardware to APM 2.5 to improve the stability of my drone? My drone is an hex drone Jdrone.See More

Today I went to a mega store and I found this "broken" car for just 9.99 pounds, so I decided to buy it and replace the crappy car that I mounted all the stuffs.

 

The next week I will buy 1 ultrasound sensor, extension IO and a compass, them should help the car to drive in a specific direction ( i.e. to the north ) and I am going to avoid the…
