Why is telemetry baud rate locked to GPS baud rate?
I seem to have problems with my new PPM board from DIY.
The blue light is on and NO ppm out.
First 4 channels are connected to the RX.
Does this board come pre-programmed ?
I have also tested with only 3 input CH and 4 input CH
Blue light always on steady
Today i made my first testflights with my Ardupilot setup. It almost worked...
The setup:
* The plane is a high wing aileron trainer with a 160 cm span and lots of wing area. Very stable.
* Ardupilot running ver. 25_04.
* No shield.
* x,y and Z sensor f
It would be nice if diy drones charged delivery at cost or cost + 10%.
300% profit in delivery is a bit of a joke!!

Can the Ardupilot be powered from both a 5V supply or a 6 Volt supply?
If so, how are you regulating the power into the ATMega328?
From my understanding it can't take more than 5.5 Volts.
Does anyone have a circuit diagram?
Thanks in advance!

Hi All,
I have the 9DOF board running the latest code and am getting the expected output from the serial port. My question is this: Is there a software (windows prefered) program to graphically display the position data from the board for testing pu

The Fly-By-Wire and Stabilize modes of ArduPilot make amazing teachingaids, especially FBW as it's difficult then for even the most ineptbeginner to get the aircraft into too much trouble.
With that in mind and an old 168 APv1 board that's doing nothi

I set up my ArduPilot and I am ready to load everything up into my EasyStar, however I can't seem to get the throttle to work when I hook it up through the ArduPilot. I get no response. My servos respond without a problem.

Dear All:
I just bought a ArduIMU v1 board and tend to build up an GPS-aided AHRS. Instead of the sensor boards, I tend to integrate an ADIS 16405 sensor with the board. The final aim is to integrate both the DCM algorithm and the accuracy of
