Each time I've reconfigured my TRex500 with APM - equipment changes, different position for the APM, comapss and GPS etc., I've of course redone the compass calibration. But each time, although MP seemed satisfied with the
I would really appreciate feedback on the shopping list. I know this is a bit basic and simple RC stuff but maybe theres something that applies to the Pixhawk system I may miss.
I used to fly but left the hobby after having a whole bunch of stuff dis
Hey all you Pixhawk experts! I have acquired my first Pixhawk system and intend to implement in into a gas powered Vario helicopter. I may have simply missed this while searching through the forums and wiki, but here is my initial question.
I have a PWM switch hooked up to AUXOUT 1. It is activated like a camera servo from CH8. But because of the CAM_DURATION parameter, I can only keep the PWM switch on for a maximum of 5 seconds. Is there a way to keep the PWM signal high with the came
I have the RSSI (PWM) port of my FrSky X8R Rx connected with a servo cable to the SBUS input of the Pixhawk. I have Pixhawk configured for RSSI input to that port (RSSI_PIN set to 103 in Mission Planner, plus RSSI_RANGE set to 3.3) I have read that i
When setting up a survey in Mission Planner I define a polygon and then select 'Survey Grid' from the Auto WP selection. The Survey window comes up with a lot of useful information and some tabs for Advanced functions like setting the camera angle et
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.
OK so we all know what happens during an AUTO mode mission if GPS fails for more than 5 sec., GPS_GLITCH triggers and if GPS_FS_ENABLE is true then it will either LAND or ALTHOLD based on its configured setting......all good.
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.
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
