I'm using a thunderbird 18 amp ESC with a dx6 with ar6000 receiver.
I loaded the ArduIMU+ v2 with 1.8 and the plane is perfectly balanced. When I switch to stabilize, it holds for a few seconds, then nose dives. Ditto for fly by wire A. Am I missing a setting, or can anyone provide a few pointers as to where I should

Hello all,
I am trying to build myself a tricopter. My soldering skills are close to non-existing, so I have been looking for an already assembled board. The ones I
found here in Europe, are the arduIMU v2, CHR-6dm and the two Razor 6DOF resp.
9DOF IMU
Hi everyone,
We are working on a senior design project at the University of Arizona Department or Aerospace Engineering. Part of our project utilizes Ardupilot, and we are trying to figure out how to (if its even possible) tune the code to fit a specific airfram

I got to the point in my first quad arducopter build where it came time to load the code, exciting!
With everything connected, (including ESCs) I proceeded to power up the board via USB.
The dim LED struck me as kind of odd, but at this point I

Hi, All !
ArduPilot software on ArduPilot board works well. But I need more R/C channels to control. Can non-Mega ArduPilot software be run on ArduPilotMega board, especially with non-Mega ArduIMU ?
As I can suppose, the first thing is to set "Arduino

What happens if you get DOA electronics from any of the DIY stores?
The simple answer is nothing at all, and you should not expect to get a refund or a repair. This is why (qouted from the terms here at the DIYdrones store) :

I'll start by saying I'm new to this project.
So, as a way of getting familiar with everything, I've been studying both the hardware and software by r
