A day to give thanks for all we are blessed with and I have a lot to give thank for... A healthy and loving family,good friends,work and the ability to do what I love e
I am running Minim OSD V1.0 on ArduplaneV3.2.3. Power supply to OSD is 2 stages, ie. 12V to video side and 5V from APM2.6.
OSD firmware is R800, Char set 2.4.0.2 mcm
As soon as I arm the motor by pushing the rudder stick to the right, the flight data

there is a weird problem.I do the compass calibration according the COPTER-tutorial through Mission Planner(Live Calibration and OnBoard mag Calibration).The result seems ok because the X-Y-Z offsets are all less than 150.But when I rotate

I am looking at buying/building a hexacopter for farm use. Looking to use a multispectral camera on it (like the parrot sequoia, agrobotix or agrocam).
I need at least a 20min flight time. Payload is not that heavy. Those cameras together with gi

In order to avoid GPS drift, I change GNSS to rtk, it can provide position correctly in ±1cm.
although the ardupilot can receiver accurate position information,
drone still have flight drift in loiter mode ,the range around 45 cm.

i just had my copter flying with new pros and motors. It was a littlebit twitchy, so i did autotune which workted like a charme! The copter was very very well flying. The only thing was, that there was a slight drift (really not that much...) bu

It is, by a good margin, the smallest CP omni antenna available. That does not mean performances is compromised, quite the opposite actually. It have sim
Hey guys. I have setup a GLB brushless gimbal. I can't figure out the correct setup through apm. I want to be able to adjust with my rc6 input but also be able to POI following. I got it setup correctly through the gimbal software to control it with

I changed to Attopilot 180, because i have 22,000 6S battery.

Read more…Hi all, I hope I don't embarass myself with this question.
As the UAV is moving forward, for example, it has a certain angle w.r.t. the earth. This would mean that there is a component of the gravitational acceleration in there, which has to be elimin
Read more…Hi all,
I am currently doing research for building an optimal hex copter for long distance flights with heavy payloads. Since I have no experience in building hexacopter especially in that size I would appreciate your opinion on my theoretical setup.
Read more…Hi,
I am relatively new to this, but I have been flying my 550 Hexacopter for several weeks now. I initially loaded APM 3.3.3, and have had no major issues except one.
I noticed many comments about earlier versions of APM whereby While in Loiter or RT

I have an H-600 type quad, with a pixhawk board running Copter 3.4.1.
Is there a way to reverse the motor CW / CCW setup? I want the front right motor to run CW, front left CCW, etc.
I think my frame twists when motor 1 and 2 hold all its weight

This forum has been awesome for teaching me about UAVs and mapping techniques, so I appreciate everyone's contribution. Keep up the great work!I am an undergraduate research student looking to create an aerial imaging and mapping rig on
