Hi All,
I am just coming up on Mission Planner/PixHawk. I'm not in the air yet but working in bench mode with USB telem. I have to walk to the nearby park to get GPS lock but there is no wifi there. I want to prefetch a local map but I cannot find th

is it possible to use the UART0 interface while flying to get some flight-relevant data? I was setting it up and everything worked fine, as long as the USB cable was plugged in. Is it possible to use one of the other UART interfaces (how?) or

I have built a arducopter a few years ago end 2012, but I encountered some problems and left it there (and also for other personal reasons) till now.
It was with the APM 2.0 board. Now I'm trying to catch up and I've seen that, apart from APM 2

I've completed a quad build using a pixhawk for flight control and have a question.
The user documentation recommends that new pilots should learn to fly in Stabilize mode prior to trying other modes so enjoyed my inaugural lift-off the other d

This is my first post so please bear with me. I have searched and browsed this forum but I cannot find what I need.
I have a HK450 (T-rex 450 clone) that I have converted to a flybarless setup. Also I have installed APM 2.5 with Arducopter 3.1. I h

Great forum. I have been flying my APM 2.6 for a few months without any major problems. I am currently running firmware 3.1.5 and have done circa 50 flights on this version without any issue. However, a couple of days ago I was in the middle

I've been following a few folks working on sense and avoidance systems and I'm convinced that their approach (i.e. an elaborate sense and avoidance system) is overkill. Should the focus not be, especially for FPV, about the overlay of information wit
