Hi - I am trying to set up my Pixhawk to trigger a camera using Arduplane and when I tried to test the voltage step-up circuit described here I noticed that there wasn't any voltage across the +/- aux out pins. In fact the only set of pins with a vol

It works fine with Mission Planner, when I power off my TX, failsafe is triggered and RTL occurs. I did test on flight and works great.

I have an issue with my setup and RFD900.
When the RFD900 in ON (27-30 dbi of power) the servos are tremoring and when RFD900 is OFF - all working fine.
Somehow RF noise affects to the servos or servo wires or maybe APM 2.5 and there is

I had my PixHawk on a DJIF550 Hexa Frame with the new DJI E300 propulsion kit, controlled with a Spektrum DX9 and a HobbyKing R800x receiver that has SBus out connected to the PixHawk RC-IN port, and was working ok, after some tweaks.

What's the preferred method of interfacing the Arduino with a Pixhawk? And is there a guide out there somewhere for it?
I'd like to use an Ardunio(+Pixy) to locate and move a quad copter between indoor waypoints.
The only method I'm aware of is to u

I fly a QAV400 with Pixhawk and 980kv motors. I had done several AutoTunes in the past with this setup without any problems.
Now I upgraded the motors to 1100kv ones and now it happend.

So today I was flying my S800 hex with APM 3.1.3 and pixhawk, I did 3 short flights. The purpose of these flights was to test my new gimbal. For gimbal control, I'm using mission planner, 3DR data radios, and a PS4 controller. For flight i'm us
