Finally I've got all systems working. The combination of the telemetry modem and GPS module gave me a lot of headaches. The solution proved to be a separate UBEC for the modem and moving that UBEC as far away from the other electronics as possible.

I have done several loggings with my rover but none of them contain EKF data when converting to .mat file.
Below is a screenshot where it says that AHRS data logging should be enabled. My question is how to enable logging of AHRS data in order
Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Ardupilot 2.6 Quadcopter, basically ever since I built it. Sometimes, the EKF Failsafe triggers. This happened once every few flights, but after I attached a camera and a gimbal, this happens basically every fl

I'm a newbie in the drone world. I've bought a DJI S900 and a Pixhawk and everything went well up to a point. As I don't want to mess up anything, I want to make sure what is the correct way to connect the rotors of the drone to Pixhawk.
In the

I am using Pixhawk in order to control my rover. If I have plugged in the power module and the USB cable into Pixhawk, will it cause any damage to Pixhawk?
Thank you!

I have a very fundamental question.
I'm trying to implement obstacle avoidance using the MaxBotic sensors.
I have the option of using either a PixHawk or an ArduCopter. I have both.
