Here is the Pixhawk log/bin and a screen grab from my 5 min Arducopter flight flight this morning.
All was going well slow flying in stabilize then the machine had a sudden huge uncommanded disturbance in pitch and roll. I was only 1 meter
Read more…In DroneAPI it's easy to retrieve the APM's location, speed, and altitude, but is there any way to get the raw IMU data as well?
For example, to get the current location you'd print "v.location"
Is there an equivalent for the IMU, like "v.imu" ?

Legitimate 3DR Pixhawk owner.
I started my first Pixhawk build 3 days ago with SimonK Afros. No go. Sync issues, even after FW update.
Bought and overnighted some EMAX 60a ESCS. Apparently EMAX also has compatibility issues with Pixhawk.
No go,

Is there a way to set the motor-compass interference on the ArduPlane?
Parameters are there I just see not GUI to do the calibration. I normally I wouldn't ask, but the compass direction moves about 40deg between 0 and 100% THR.
Is there a di

Has anyone on this Forum added an autopilot to a Gyrocopter?
A Gyrocopter would seem to make a good stable camera/mapping platform, capable of longer flights than a multicopter, and able to fly slower than an airplane.
Read more…It appears that "sonarrange" data is the raw data measured by Lidar Lite and used to set altitude below RNGFND_MAX_CM . However 45 degrees pitch causes 12m drop on 40m intended altitude and 0.9 m drop on 3 m. Calculating with 20 degree pitch the var
