"I have had similar issues with my elevon models which was partly solved by re-doing the RC handset calibration in the mission planner after having flown and trimmed it manually. I obtained the best results by using the elevon output mixer in the…"

Selling a Sony FCB-EX11D color block camera and an Intertest interface board
Started Nov 7, 2012 0 Replies 0 Likes
I'm selling via the eBays a new and unused Sony FCB-EX11D color block camera and an Intertest I-shot interface board. If you want to design/build a proper small camera gimbal, similar in performance…Continue
ArduPlane/IMU shield power problem- APM only works via USB power.
Started this discussion. Last reply by Seth Feb 15, 2012. 2 Replies 0 Likes
I have a strange power problem. My IMU shield only seems to work when powered via the USB plug. When the APM is powered only via the BEC, the servos move erratically, the ABC and TX/RX LED's on the…Continue
APM Planner for X-Plane camera control

In X-Plane's "Data Input & Output" dialog, item 127 "Camera Location" allows the position and angle of the view to controlled. Would it be possible, with the new camera tracking Arduplane and…Continue
Sending aircraft attutude via I2C

Question:I would like to send aircraft attitude information via I2C to another arduino. Has anyone attempted this? If my understanding is correct (probably isn't) I could use the same I2C port as the…Continue

I had to crank up the bank limit to 60 degrees to get 30 degrees of bank in FBW-B at full stick deflection. Any idea why?
PS. What are acceptable vibration levels for Arduplane?"

"Hi Seth,
ok, if you don't solve it, then upload a tlog showing you moving your transmitter sticks to all extremes while in FBWA mode. I will take a look and see what the issue is.
Make sure you are using ArduPlane 2.72.
Cheers, Tridge

Seth replied to Seth's discussion Arduplane tracks great in Auto/Loiter/RTL: FBW-A won't turn... in the group ArduPlane User Group"Tridge,
Thank you for your help- I had it setup initially with normal rates/travel in the radio, with the linkages adjusted to give the required small travel on the Zephyr at full throws. With this the P terms for Pitch and Roll Servo had to be…"

"sounds like your radio limits are not configured correctly, or you configured with high rates in the transmitter and now have it set to low rates.
Cheers, Tridge

Arduplane tracks great in Auto/Loiter/RTL: FBW-A won't turn...
I'm running the latest APM code in a Zephyr II and it flies well in Stabilized and all Auto modes, tracking waypoints and altitudes great. In FBW-A however I can't get more than about 10° bank and very shallow climbs and descents. Had anyone else experienced this or have a solution?Thanks!See More
Diego Di Bacco replied to Seth's discussion APM Planner for X-Plane camera control"I already have the Pan and Tilt angles as output of my control, but I don't know how can I interface Arduino with the X-Plane view. Maybe I can do it with APM Planner, but I don't know very well how."
DeveloperMichael Oborne replied to Seth's discussion APM Planner for X-Plane camera control
"the only issue is how does one convert the rcout pwm to an angle?"
Diego Di Bacco replied to Seth's discussion APM Planner for X-Plane camera control"Hi! I have a similar problem. I have a sperimental UAV with a gimbal camera mounted below. I want to make a Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation with X-Plane 9 of the camera movements. I did an Arduino code for ArduPilotMega where I calculate…"

I'm selling via the eBays a new and unused Sony FCB-EX11D color block camera and an Intertest I-shot interface board. If you want to design/build a proper small camera gimbal, similar in performance to commercial setups, this is what you need.The EX11D is capable of 10X optical/12X digital zoom, has good low-light performance, and is very small (59.2mm long, 95g). The camera is controlled via the serial VISCA protocol, and the interface board outputs composite video easily transmitted by an…See More

Open source closed loop control gyro stabilized camera turret.

Pictured is my first attempt at a camera system comparable to what you would find on a commercial UAV. I hope to make available to the DIY Drones community a light weight, affordable, and highly accurate turret compatible with APM or any other open source autopilot system.
The goals for my design…
