Read more…I am interested in using Arducopter 3.x (esp. 3.1) and an APM2.5 with GPS units other than the 3DR GPS. In particular, I want to use the much less expensive ublox NEO-6M gps rather than the LEA-6H.
I've seen a few threads about this, but they are all
So I've never been 100% sure on this.
When using Survey (Grid) in Mission Planner, what focal length is the software asking for? Is it true focal length (i.e. that which is printed on the lens) or do we need to convert it to its 35mm equivalent? Sin
