Regarding APM (a servo question)

Alright, I understand that the older Ardu-pilot could proces 3-4 channels to fly the plane.

On APM you now have 8 channels to play with?

Dose this mean I can have the needed servo channels to fly APM, and use 2 channels to control an pan and tilt for a camera set up?

 

Thanks ya'l

  • This is what i have so far,

    Velocity = 15 meters/sec

    Y = 100 meters

    X = 50 meters

    Gravity = 9.8 meters/sec

    V=D/T          Y= 1/2 Ay ^ T` 

    15 = 50/T= 3.3s to reacech target Horizontily

    100 = 1/2 (9.8) ^ T`= 4.5sec to reach to reach target Verticly

    X`+Y`=C`

    3.3`+4.5`=30`=5.5secs to reach target (in english, the pay load should be dropped around 5.5sec's before reaching target)

     

  • thats really cool! im excited!
  • essentually, if the pan and tilt is running off the APM, can I program the APM to move the pan and tilt to different degrees at different waypoints?

    ex. way point 1 (move pan servo 30, move tilt -30)
