I have my switch working right, I can see circle mode when I activate it, I can see it move servos on the ground, but very very little.
I have LIM_ROLL_CD cranked to 60 since it's supposed to mean bank angle of 20 (it gets divided by 3) for circling,

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

I have a fixed plane and APM 2.6, and I have a mission plan that should go for few km, do few circles then coming back to home. (Maximum 10 waypoints).
Do I have to upgrade to pixhawk to ensure a safe flight or the APM 2.6 will be able to do it ea
Yesterday when i wanted to try the Hybrid mode for the first time, nothing happend.
My quad did only a ALT hold.
I'm on a Pixhawk (ex GPS and Compass) with Arducopter V3.1.5
In the logs I see that I'm having a "Hybrid error".
Anyone having this problem a

I was wondering if anyone in the DIY community has ever put a Aurdopilot on a gas powered airplane. If so did it work and does the engine effect the autopilot. I am about to put it in an airplane with a 3 meter wing span and I don't want it to crash

We are doing a test flight for more than 30mi, (15mi both ways). But we wanted to check the Elevation graph in the mission planner but we were getting the message that the distance is too big or too low waypoints.

I am very new to APM but not to quads. I am surprised to find that when I lift into the air the quad rotates fast (anticlockwise).
The control was set with right yaw to arm; left to dis arm.
