I found a website for a completely FREE software program to design your own antennas for FPV etc.
There is a, steep learning curve but,There are tutorials and a well written help file.
Just wanted to share this with the members who love DIY.Have fun

I have a big problem, hope someone can help.
When I updated my Pixhawk from V3.2.1 to V3.3+ I'm not able to calibrate Accel and Compass correctly.
Here is what's happening:
On the first connection after updating to V3.3 or V3.3.1 the voice is reading

I didn't have any other power going into it at the time.
The pixhawk is a 3DR one.
I haven't tried to po

I am testing the PX4flow together with Pixhawk, and it seems to require 3D Fix before arming in Loiter, even though EKF_GPS_TYPE = 3 and geofencing is disabled.
Could this be a new bug due to the new feature of not being able to disable GPS p

Does anybody know where I can get more information on redundant radios on the pixhawk using the two telemetry ports? Two 3DR radios, 2 RFD900+ radios, or any combination of the the two to allow full comms with the aircraft in case of fail

This quad has worked fine, but would act flakey sometimes too. I thought I had narrowed it down to the cheap hobby king camera generating noise. I wrapped it in copper and things seemed to be working good.

My quadcopter suddenly lost control and crashed. Fortunately it fell from low altitude and after some tape it flew without problems just minutes later.
But this crash is bugging me, I am not confident (for obviuous reasons).

It's been a long time since I've posted on here.
I work for a radio broadcast company, and I've been wondering about the use of drones to inspect the tower and mounts of antennas and other gear mounted up there.

I am pretty new to all this, but I have a problem with using 'Make' to compile the ArduPlane code in Eclipse for my Pixhawk. I have been following the directions on this page:
