Been saving up for a while. Its finally time to start ordering parts..The goal for this protect is to simply build an excessively powerful drone. I want lots of lift, i want thrust and speed. I wanna do stunts. I've always been interested in tri-copt
I have twe sky walker platforms both with different setups.the problem is in above 14 mph winds then spiral in while doing quite tight turns which they refuse to recover ..even the ardupilot cannot cope .. Should I move to the skyHunter instead Anyon
I have a Quanum Q-2D brushless gimbal on a quad with Pixhawk controller. This is the first time I have used a gimbal. I was unable to make the Pixhawk to Gimbal connection work using the Aux outputs of the Pixhawk connected to the pitch and roll inp
on all the other FBL systems I have you set your collective travel (i.e. +/-10°-12°) and the cyclic for 7-8°. With 3.3 you do the collective, but I never found anything to adjust the cyclic in this or in older versions, therefore I used Dual Rate
I have the new apm pro mini from china. Had it working great until it stopped connecting. All I have is a solid green power and no action lights. Assuming ive bricked it, I've been everywhere on the net to see how to flash the bootloader etc. But all
I use an APM 2.5 running arducopter FW 3.1. It has flown for many months very well. After a crash which broke the micro usb port off the circuit board, one of the motors begins to spin only after the other three are at nearly 15%. I can take off, but
I'm trying to set up a plane with APM for my research. Everything seem to work find except for the fact that the plane always follows the planned path lines around 10 meters to the right (from the drone point of view). The path done is very st
I built avtail and have a kk2 flight controller. Angle of back legs is approximately 30 deg outwards. If I ascend at approximately 50% thrust, it rises facing the same direction. If I bump the thrust up to and beyond 60% and higher, it yaws ccw with
I'm looking for help testing and writing "arduino" code for some cool LED lights on the bottom of quads. The idea is to have a small PCB that can take input from RC channels and interpret mavlink messages. Then you can place smart LED strips
I have run into an issue on the most recent mission planner update. It does not occur when rolling back the software to previous versions. When attempting to geotag photos from the DataFlash log from a pixhawk I get an error message and a really odd
Dear all,As i am a newbie in the quadcopter world, i did my first flight ever yesterday, which resulted in two fried motors. After my research, i decided to buy the following parts for my first quadcopter. Those areDJI F450 frame with its extension l
I just set up a new plane but am using parameters from the same exact airframe that I was using before and am having a very strange issue.I am starting to get pretty good at reviewing these logs, but, am at a loss for this one.If you look, as soon as
I have Mission Planner 1.3.3.1 and Arducopter V 3.2.1, but so far I could not open nor play any log, What I have to do to display the logs or play them?
They show in the file under "hexcopter" but when I click in the MP in order to open the file nothi
I made this adapter to allow you to easily mount a standard point and shoot camera with a tripod socket in the base to any GoPro type mount. I needed this so I could easily interchange between having my GoPro and Canon S100 fixed to my drone.
I am trying to tune a Trex450 FBL and according to the online documentation RATE_RLL_P should be somewhere around .04, however in Mission Planner 1.3.31 it says that the range for that parameter is between .08 and .20. I am using Arducopter 3.2.1
Quick question regarding the max operating temperature of the pixhawk.
In normal flight use (Roughly 10 min) i'm seeing the temperature in my logs reach ~51.5C from a starting temperature of ~29-35C. Should this be a concern or is this considered a no
