For our senior capstone project my team and I will be modifying an off-the-shelf quadcopter to locate and hover near a Bluetooth wireless signal for the best signal strength. My question is this: Can the Cheerson CX-20 update its flight plan while in
Hi guys, I´m running the latest MP version with APM 2.7.2 (from HK) with APMPLANE 3.4.0 firmware via data radio. Everything seems to be fine, except for radio calibration (in may case) roll reverse checkbox. Setting Manual Mode The Tx and roll servos
I was just wondering if anyone has had any success in using Turnigy ESC with the antispark feature on a Quadcopter. I am working on a heavy lift quad and was planning on using the Dlux controllers but wanted to see if anyone has had any success in us

Hello everyone! I am trying to assemble a boat with APM to move autonomously. Since I am using 2 BLDC-s to move the boat, I am using the Rover firmware with SKID_STEERING_OUT and _IN turned on. In the documentation it is written that in this mode outp
I recently inherited a "broken" drone from a friend, and have begun the process of fixing it. It is an octocopter with an X8 configuration. Two of the motors do not work on it, and I was wondering if anyone knew what the exact model of these
I am working on an autonomous drone project where 4 Drones flying in circular path and need to talk to each other. Drones are running on PixHawk flight controller.
We are running python script in Mission planner to control 4 drones.
My new TriCopter made its first long-duration test flight today, fully autonomous. Using APM2.8, ArduCopter 3.2.1, APM Planner2 on linux. It flew the same 15 minute mission repeatedly until the battery got low. After letting the battery recover fo
First post (possibly of many!), just to see if anyone else has encountered issues with the Minihawk/Pixhawk Mini, when connecting the GPS/Compass or the 3DR telemetry.
From the WIKI: EKF / DCM Check Failsafe Copter 3.2 adds a DCM heading check and an EKF (Extended Kalman Filter - Pixhawk only) check to catch flyaways caused by a bad heading estimate......
I received two errors simultaneously in my log. ERR: EKF_CHECK-
