Dear All,
I bought an IRIS+ 3DR quadrotor and I need to replace the radio module which is installed on the IRIS+.
This because I bought the wrong IRIS+, I work in France and I bought a 915 MHz IRIS+. I contacted the support center of 3DR and they told
Read more…Hi All,
I'm setting up my first non-fixed wing APM and need some help. I've setup the APM and speed controls on my 3DR Y6 (2013) and went through all of the calibration. Had to reverse the ailerons to get the radio calibration correct on the calibra

Is there a routine that allows a user to fly a manual mission, tracing it in software such that the movement can be re-run as a mission later?
Read more…Sorry Bill,
I do realize the effort that you have invested on APM Planner but I really have to stop using it because it is painful the lag of features regarding Mission Planner (or even DroidPlanner on Android) and the communication bugs are just too
Read more…Hi guys,
I wanted to ask whether the Lynxmotion V Tail 500 is supported by ArduCopter or not.
As you can see the airframe consists of two motors plus a V Tail with both inverted motors. Since I don t want to buy the MultiWii suggested by Lynxmotion but

Now I want to take photos using

Read more…I just got off the phone with 3DR a few days ago and 3DR confirmed a known telemetry bug in Mission planner so I know I am not the only one having this issue and I'm not going crazy, (well not today anyway).
This is the issue I told them I am having a

Is it possible with mission planner to pause a mission at run time?!
I have a hexacopter with APM 2.5 (AC ver 3.0.1) programmed to fly over a testing area with Mission Planner (ver 1.3.7). The idea is plan an auto mode mission with

Read more…Hi guys I have just started using Pixhawk and I find that I can load Plane or Rover and then it will connect to Mavlink without any problem. However, with any of the copter versions, connection never happens. No mandatory panels etc. And no response.
Read more…I bought the neo 7m gps/compass from rangevideo. It says its preconfigured for pixhawk. It also came with a 6 pin gps cable plug instead of a 5 like APM needs. I cut the plug to fit and the apm seems to see the gps and compass although the compass is

I tried to fit them to my stock 3dr quad kit (with the 880kV motors) but the internal diameter

I would like to share with you my great joy and amazement with the success of an autotune I performed on my SteadiDrone QU4D X. The platform uses 100kv motors and had an all up weight of over 9kg. I was very hesitant

I would like to know what you think is the best solution (price/quality/ease of use) for mapping around 300km (180 miles) of a highway??
We need to do photogrammetry of this project and I have suggested the use of a UAV instead of a manned

I have a request to build a copter which can handle 8Kg extra payload for a flight duration of 40 minutes.
The project is for the Local Search & Rescue Team to find the missing and lost people in the snow and mountains. The payload will be 2 ways
