Can't get my Sony NEX5 to trigger off the Pixhawk with the Flytron SLED for Sony NEX.
I know it's not the SLED because I've got it working with a servo tester.
I have a 5V BEC plugged into the RC9 just to power the rail with 5V and the SLED in RC10,
Hi all,
I am getting a Xiaomi Yi camera, and I was wondering it its wifi function would interfere
with the Iris+ like the GoPro wifi is said to.
If so, is there no fix?
Thank you!
I have made some good progress on my Vario project. I was able to get vibrations, and mag issues resolved and Loiter performance to an acceptable level. I noticed something though, sometimes while taking off in Loiter the heli will spin around anyw

Recently, I just found out that the ideal battery weight for my skywalker is around 700g. I placed the mapping camera at the middle of the SW belly and batteries at the front to balanced the CG.

After a good short test fight, I wanted to test land / takeoff sequence. I noticed a motor (front right on my X quad) did not spin regularly. Any idea of the reason ? bad contact could be a cause ? See log below for Rcout.
