Im trying to do obstacle avoidance with 9 Maxbotix LV EZ0 sensors on a quadcopter such that 8 are horizontal to cover 360 degrees, and 1 below for altitude hold. Im measuring distances from these on an arduino and then sending DISTANCE_SENSOR
SO i have a problem. I was usuing my landing gear today and it worked fine one flight, put them up and down a few times, took off and landed in the same battery etc and then i landed and turned off the drone, swapped the battery and then took off aga

Does anyone know of a GOOD controller that can be connected to Mavlink via USB and can actually be used to control a multirotor? I have purchased a dozen joysticks, simulator controllers, etc. but I haven't found any of them that is really what I
I am trying to figure out if or how I can access GPS information from my 3DR Controller? I know it is possible to access GPS information from the Drone but is it possible to do so from the Controller also?
