Thanks for reading.
We are having problems with the RCIN port of the Pixhawk for the purposes of passively logging servo signals via a PPM encoder.
The intention is to be able to quantify the actual control inputs to the helicopters control system. T

But i have a question: what it means A40°, 50°, 40°, 30°?
How much is single load (in grams) for each mark?
A40°= ? gr
50° = ? gr
40° = ? gr
30° = ? gr
Is there any issue with opening mission planner twice, connecting each application to a different UAV with different telemetry radios and flying 2 missions at the same time with one ground station computer?Thank you

I've been having quite a difficult time with tuning my Tarot t960 with Pixhawk.
I've had the system flying fairly well and doing missions, but I can't get the rapid oscillation out of the pitch access, roll is fine. The CG is set perfectly and

In some cases it sent the ESC into program mode, so by the time we lowered the throttle level we now had a non-functioning ESC. Also t

Hello,
I have an ARF Quanum Venture on which I've put an APM 2.6 FC with a 3DR telemetry and MAVLink OSD.
The problem I have is that, when telemetry is connected, I cannot rise the throttle level above 10-12%, depending on the flight mode. Even with t

The adapters have two parts, one the bolts to the bell,
