I have been looking at the firmware and it is a lot of code. I am curious how many lines of code are in the project and I thought it might be less than 100,000, but would like to get an estimate.

Thanks for a great forum.
The USB-port on my APM is beginning to get unstable so I have bought a bluetooth HC 05 to serial module. I have now digged through the forum threads I could find regarding the connections, but are still unsure as to ho

I am trying to get an IR temperature sensor mounted on my copter to send back live data through a designated parameter through mavlink. The sensor has an option for analog or spi outputs for the signal. I have the pixhawk on board and have the spi

I usually fly helicopters but I bout a quadcopter, pixhawk, 3dr radios and gps.
I realise the pixhawk uses PPM. I have a 7ch spektrum receiver. I was wondering, for a quadcopter, do I need 8 channels or is 7 channels enough? Because I know th

3DR owns this site correct?

This question is both for a pixhawk and an APM 2.6 (I have both).
Short question is that I have 2 12V lipos. I'd like the first one to run the motor and the second one to run the flight computer, servos, camera, and OSD.
This way if the throttle batte
This is perplexing. I've got a nice solid 5v coming out of the power module. Everything powers up nicely. Yet it shows 0 volts and 83 amps. It's just sitting on my desk disarmed. Params are set for the voltage and current, and using the 3DR power
