I am experiencing some trouble with my new ArduStation! I wired the + terminal of my 6s LiPo (22.2v nominal) in series with an additional 164k ohms resistor(s). That makes the divider 100/(240+100+164)*25.2=5, so the max volts at the divider output i

I wonder why "analog" offsetting is done for the gyros and accelerometers at program start? Why not filling omega_I with appropriate startup values instead? This way the code gets a bit leaner and kind of legacy-free.

I assembled APMega into a EasyStar.
Its early days with the programming but radio test code works - i.e. supplies different values as sticks moved.
The Turnigy ESC beeps alot (mainly a 1Hz beep-beep-beep constant). This beep is constant except when the
