I had previously had a crash that was caused by a drop in Vcc.
I couldn't identify the cause of the crash so what I did was change the wiring so peripheral devices wouldn't draw current through the APM but rather through a separate BEC off the main ba

thanks to this forum I was able to build my first copter. It is a Hexa +, with 360kv motors, 15*5.5 props, an AUW of about 3.1 kg, and about 30 min loiter time. You can find some more details on the Ecosynth webpage.
Basically, it now flies

Just tried to configure my shutter. I'm using an opto-isolator with CHDK functionality. The idea is that I should be able to pull a pin high for a specified number of ms, configure a CHDK script to measure the time that it's raised and then tak

Cruise mode normally works well, but on my last flight, I had a strange drift which I could not correct. See below.
You can clearly see when switching to Cruise mode, the plane turns to the right continuously, I bring it back, then it turns righ

Read more…I have tried to use the APM 2.5 on the FPV Raptor without great success.
First of all, it does not keep altitude during turns in Auto and secondly, it only uses throttle to try to keep altitude. Have a look at this:
