Hi all,
Hope you're having a pleasant Monday so far :)
Today I launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund my new line of quadcopters with a self-supporting frame that I designed.
You guys have been instrumental in helping me navigate around the technical
After my quad became a smoking hold in the ground on Friday (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BGHvz1Owe0), I decided it's time to research redundancy for a motor/prop loss. I've been searching and reading. And not surprisingly, there is a lot of con

Read more…Hello friends!
I have my motors all wired up and bolted onto my frame. The problem is when I spin them up I get some pretty nasty vibrations especially at about half throttle.
To remedy this issue I plan on using a vibration app and a cable tie to pin
Warning #1: PX4/Pixhawk users upgrading from AC3.1.5 (or earlier) may need to re-do their compass and accelerometer calibration because AC3.2 also uses the backup compass and accels. Pre-arm checks have been added to ensure this has been done.

This is prototype of my new pan tilt with fpv camera - video and pic attached. Here is a youtube link to the video also:
It has an arduino built into it and I am just now starting on the firmware.

Read more…Hi,
I'm new to Arduino sketches and was wondering if it is possible to connect something like the Arduino Nano, Micro or even Trinket to an APM 2.x via USB (or the Telemetry output pins) and detect what mode the APM is in at any given time -- i.e Stab

初歩的な質問で大変恐縮ですが、xbeeとレシーバーの使用についてご教授願いたいと思います。
今回missionplannerとpixhawkをxbee経由で通信しつつ、UAVの操作を試みたのですがプロポの電源を入れた途端、xbeeの強度が激減してしまいます。PCとUAVを10mほど離すと完全に切断されてしまうほどで、tlogといったデータを取るのが困難になっています。
おそらくxbeeとレシーバーの周波数2.4GHzが干渉しあっている
I know that sounds strange. My receiver (Orange R910) is all PWM. I just got some LEDs from Flytron. These LEDs can use a PPM signal to sync the flashing. Is there a way to:
A) Get the APM to send PPM instead of PWM out one of the outputs?
B) Someth

I have a MinimOSD (original 3DR) running OSD Version 2.0 connected to a Pixhawk, running Arducopter 3.1.3
I get a video link - but no overlay from the OSD.
The OSD is powered from both sides (Pixhawk and Camera).
I have tested the OSD to work fine on

I see the the notices that in the USA to use the 3DRadio 900 MHz link, you need a ham radio license.
Ok, I have that (Extra class licensee for many years)!
But I don't see any place in the software to allow my Amateur radi
I would just want to know if there is ayn recommended altitude to test the failsafe in the field? The reason I'm asking this is because the last time I field tested the failsafe my hexacopter rolled to left and crashed. Two broken arms and a couple o

Total newbie here with PixHawk, etc.
I have my new hardware today (Pixhawk, GPS, 3DR Radios, etc). So I decide to connect it to my computer and start learning the software.
I have the PixHawk connected via the USB cable. It seems to work. Get

Really like the look of the airframe, but want to do my own build.
