ArduPilot manual update?

Posted by Tim McMahan on March 1, 2010 at 7:41am
While I was setting up my first wiring on an ArduPilot last night, I noticed the manual shows Input 1,2, and 3.  The board itseld though, is clearly marked 1,2,3, and 4.  This made me wonder a few things...

1- I assume the newer board can use ailerons and rudders independantly?
2- Are there other changes that aren't in the manual yet?
3- When will the manual be updated again?


Thanks,
Tim

    Tim, to answer your question #1 - the ArduPilot (not Mega) has 4 inputs and outputs, but to use 3+ you must solder a few extra wires on the back, and the code only uses 3. There is no support for independant ailerons and rudder.

    That fix was fast! Thanks! The wiki is WAY better. Though maybe harder to print.

    Woah. I go to the main page, click on "Ardupilot" to the left of the FunJet. Then at that Ardupilot page, scroll down a bit and hit "complete manual" just below "What you need to make a navigation-only autopilot" .

    What manual are you looking at? We switched to the wiki a couple weeks ago. There shouldn't be any links still to the old manual.
