Hi all,
I have two questions I am hoping the more experienced might help this noob with
History.
I built a quadcopter SK450 frame, APM.2.5 with v 3.0.1 & CN-06 GPS that with a mixture of some bad tx programming that switched on RTL when it shouldn't hav

I'm flying (Plane) in very steep terrain and I want to be able to loiter over a point to climb to an given altitude before continuing on with the mission. Same for my approach, I want to loiter over a safe location until the aircraft descends to a gi

I am using the ArduPlane on an FPV flying wing and i am wondering if i can get the mission planner to work with only an incoming stream of data since i want to use a modem and send the mavlink from the plane to the ground station over the Video Tx

Please visit www.CarbonCore.com for full photos and specifications.
The Cortex is a Co-Axial Quad, similar to an Octocopter. And folds-up!

I had another crash today. I started the flight in manual mode and switched to FBWA when I had gained some altitude. The plane felt really sluggish. Turn radius was very large and the plane kept loosing altitude slowly. I should've switched to manual

I need to mount the external GPS/Compass modul not in the "normal" direction so I like to ask you if I configure it the right way in the software. So my configuration looks like this:
And in the Mission Planer I se<t the paramter like this:

I am starting to build an APM 2.5 hexacopter with NTM Prop Drive Series 35-36A 1800k/v motors. As I learned that there is a constant like 190000/RPM equals to diameter, 4S batteries will only handle 7-8 inch propellers. Is that
Hi,
I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this. Since about 3 weeks ago the Mission Planner will not load any tiles below a viewing altitude of about 100km, this is not very useful for mission planning.
Before then I had excellent im

I'm a regular APM 2.5 user and I am trying to better understand the dataflash logs to diagnose problems with my craft easier. As I stated I run APM 2.5 with ArduCopter Version 3.0.1, 3DR MTK v2.0 GPS, X-frame, DJI F450, DJI 920 kv motors,

Thanks,

Id like to know if the DJI Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal is compatible with Arducopter 2.5? The Naza controllers are just way too expensi
I have several questions about the 3DR radios that I was hoping some developers might be able to answer to facilitate my thesis research...
[1] The 3DR wiki says 8 parameters must be the same for two 3DR radios to communicate, but I cannot find a fixe
Read more…Here's a noob question. Is it safe to use the BEC within one of the 6 ESC's I have to power a camera (gopro)? Will everything function OK if I remove the 5v lead from my ESC connecting to the PDB, leaving only the signal wire?
Here is the ESC I am usi
Read more…Problem !Twitches on my quadcopter only occur if the input of the APM's ch6 gets high input (100%). Like when a switch on the Tx is in position 1 or a nob is turned up.When I reduce the input of ch6 to about 50% or disconnect the wire to ch6 entirely

Cheers Kim
Read more…Hi all. Sorry to post another telemetry module troubleshoot but this is really puzzling me.
I am running a 3DR Y6. I recently bought a 3dr 433MHz telemetry set from a local supplier uavrobotics.com.au. The two modules seem identical so I assume it doe

The setup is pretty vanilla, with a 1000K Turnigy motors, with 12" slowfly propellers and a 2S 4.4Ah LiPo.
The Ardu-Pilot setup is similarly vanilla - APM 2.6 with G

I've been having an issue where randomly i'll start to lose altitude; giving 100% throttle does not immediately help.. the copter still drops altitude a bit before regaining. Thankfully this has happened where it did not cause a crash; at most
