Some may get confused on how to connect the ESC motor leads to the motor.
Nice work on the code guys.
I have setup everything for arducopter with the configurator and did everything the directions said. The z axis acceleration sensor is displaying values of 400 or so when the the copter is not moving. And when doing the flight pre-check, when I arm t

I am building my first UAV. It's for no other reason than for my personal enjoyment. (at first)
Maybe if I have the "right stuff" and UAVs become more mainstream commercial I might change careers but for the moment, I

I've seen all sorts fo things written about the Xbee 868 modules in regards to RC control, the duty cycle, etc, but I can't seem to find is a definitive answer as to if anyone is using them successfully for AP or APM groundstation.
I know the 900

Is there a good way to test and make sure everything is working correctly before

Read more…Hi, I am building a arducopter and have the standard female-female servo leads to connect the RX to the APM. This amounts to a lot of wires. Is it possible to reduce this somehow? could I use a custom harness that connects power and gnd for channel 3

They are labeled PG0 and PG1.
Thanks!

Hopefully I am right for asking this question here !! I want to buy a complete sensor platform. That means an IMU like the ArduPilot Mega IMU. All things like Accelerometer, Gyros, pressure sensor is included.
Then I would p
I just received my arducopter in the mail and I was reading the manual on how to solder up the distribution board. The instructions are for Rev. B, which has a lot less holes and it is confusing where to solder the jumpers for the 12 gauge wire and t

Hello all,
on a quest to gain longer flight times with my arducopter,
I'd like to know if it is ok to use a 4 cell 14.8v or 5cell 15.8 volt lipo battery?
Best,

Well I have just set up APM for quadcopter use, but have been having a few issues. I don't seem to be getting any PWM signal out of APM Nor am I getting any transmitter readings in the configurator. The Gyro/accel data is displaying ok, The receiver

While trying to think of a way to increase the payload capacity, size and flight time of a quad rotor aircraft I had an idea, which may or may not be novel and was wondering if anyone else has entertained it.
Hi Guys,
I've decided I've messed about with the electronics enough for now and it's time for me to get an airframe and get airborne. The Skywalker seems to be the one that best meets my requirements - not too large, but with decent payload capacity (both wei
