Gents I need your help.
I recently upgraded one of my 2.6APM powered quads to a Pixhawk. One of the reasons I went ahead and did this is because the Pixhawk is supposed to take PWM RSSI signals directly (into the Sbus port aka Pin 103) and I could di

Would like to get suggestions on how we can measure the quality of a video and still photography. Metrics will be important to improve two of the banes of multi-copter photography :

Read more…Hi,
I have been using APM on planes for a while now and I want to try it on a FBL heli. Reading some threads I got the impression you guys use the APM (or Pixhawk,PX4) without the usual FBL electronis like V-Stabi, Beast, etc. correct ?
When APM goes c
