Would it be at all possible to create a database containing exactly what the default parameter values are in each build?
We have all this wonderful color showing us supposedly where there is a problem, but we have no way of knowing aside from memory w

Have a look at the release notes in the forum for lots of details on the changes in this release.
I'd also ask that you not reply to this posting, but instead use the new APM forums for discussion of the release.
Read more…Rookie here. Got my receiver all setup and connect to ESC, binded transmitter fine. Tested all servos, worked great. Plug in the battery the thirty time and now when I push the throttle the main motor doesn't fire up, it spins slowly, making a pain
Read more…The copter flies very good in calm winds. RTL, loiter, alt hold all perform nicely as well. In auto mode flight if their is much wind at all during forward flight between waypoints it will start bucking. Sometimes it gets past it but yesterday I thin
Read more…Just got an APM 2.6 which I cant get working with a futaba 2.4ghz receiver. The APM works with up to 3 channels connected to the receiver when I connect channel 4 the APM locks up. I have three receivers and get the same problem with them all. I also
Read more…Hi All,
I am nowadays coming across air frames, which host motors "at an angle" to the normal (i.e. 90 degress to earth's frame of reference).
In my understanding, this allows the vertical force vector from the rotors to be angled differently contrary
Read more…This flight is short. And I should have tested from higher up!
I have everything working except alt hold. I can't find a combination of gains that work. It always oscilates.
This time, I put it in loiter, it was stable for about 2 seconds, but when it

Read more…a few weeks ago I began messing with using a bike rim as a multi rotor frame.
I was surprised at how well it worked, and I invite any of you out there to confirm what I have found.
This is the way I see it, please correct me if I am wrong.

Read more…I have a weird issue on only one of my APM2.5 boards where in alt hold, the copter will climb when I move forwards, and drop when I move backwards. This climb/drop happens as soon as input is given.
Is it possible that I have a bad board? I am having
Read more…There is a thread that I cannot find with the info I need. I am getting ready to set up a HK Bixler v1.1 and would like to know the best motor/prop setup for long flight times. I will probably start with the stock motor and 2200 mAh battery to begin
Read more…Hoping someone can help. With everything up and running on the APM 2.6 (Compass, GPS, Airspeed Sensor, Telemetry) what kind of Mah is used?
Read more…I use my quad for aerial videography of kiteboarders. My main mode of operation usually involves using alt-hold (and more recently loiter) to set an altitude just beyond the reach of the kites (~30m above the water level) This allows me to better foc
Read more…Not sure why, but I discovered that the optical sensor was wiping out my eeprom every time I powered up my APM 2.6. I had to erase my eeprom and reprogram the APM every time it happened. I'm just going to remove it rather than troubleshoot it as th

I had a very strange crash with my quad. I made dozens of successful missions with APM 2.0 - 2.9.1b Arducopter firmware. I felt this platform was very stable and did not upgrade to 3.0.1 on this frame.
Well I had a crash few seconds after taking of

So I was having some strange issue (turned out to be my own fault, swapped motor outputs, been fixed) and decided to reset everything to default. Everything is working fine now except
