In APM Planner (latest version) my apm 2.5/6 wont initialize. When trying to connect it says "initializing", but does not move on.
I just loaded the latest plane firmware onto it.
In Mission Planner (latest version) it does not connect either, it gives

Which of these orientations is the best way to mount an FPV camera on the 3DR DIY Quad?
Top, Middle, or Bottom?
Hi,
trying my first flights I always ended in trees or wheat fields.
(Copter recovered every time)
Some times it flew good and respond well, even to my RTL test.
But suddenly during my "lessons" there where some flyaway attempts (had to shut down and do

I was wandering if there is a chance of modifying the PWM output on one channel.
Let's say AUX1 (CH9) RC9_MAX from 2200 to 220000?
Would that affect the Pixhawk hardware in any negative way?
Currently the maximum ls 2200 and I managed to inser

I am new to multirotors (obviously) and I need some help with my Turnigy 9xr for my new Y6b with pixhawk. I will try to explain as concisely as I can. I ended up with a mode 1 transmitter that has the throttle on the right. Obviously this needed ch

It's not a new achievement using wifi as Telemetry but this UART to WiFi module has really long range (up to 400 meters), and unbeatable price. Very small form factor (about 2cm x 1.5cm) and light (3 gr). Great for the small sized UAVs. And
