Hi,
I recently moved the APM 2.5 board from a quad copter to my plane.
In the quad I was using a power module and everything woked just fine.
The equipment I have:
Airtronics rd6000 super TX
Airtronics 92777 FM reciever
APM 2.5 borad (with the latest firmw

However, I'm installing an airspeed sensor now, w

There are a couple of people I know who have already faced this in RC5. In 3.0.1 I see that I do not get issues, so posting it as a separate forum.
I am using sonar (XL-EZ0, MB1200) + baro on my APM 2.6. Using 3.0.1 RC5, I have attached th

I am interested in using multiple ground stations for one arduplane platform.
This could be for example 2-3 computers with radio telemtry and mission planner.
The idea is to be able to have a person that can dynamically give a command to the Ardu

I read that one can attempt to quadrocopter Autotune pids.
Is it possible (or who have already tried) Autotune pids to make a helicopter?

This is a discussion re the bad Accel, Gyro and Baro values that we're seeing with ArduCopter-3.1. The increase in the SPI bus speed from 500khz to 8Mhz has exposed a hardware problem on some boards. That hardware problem is that the 3.3V regulator

I'm setting up an APM heli using a PX4 + IO, but I couldn't find any info of wiring. My setup is a 120 swashplate with a separate direct drive variable pitch tail, which means I have a normal tail servo with an extra motor at the tail to control.

I have calibrated radio. In radio calibration: When I push right stick forward the green pitch bar goes up and shows pwm value 1940, stick in the middle value is 1520 and when the stick is pulled back the value is 1100 and the green bar is down. S

I'm using the latest SW with my APM 2.5 (think it's 3.01) and I had a really strange auto flight over the weekend.
