Hi All,
Very curious about what size batteries people are using, their payload, and what kind of flying time you are getting. Would love to extend my flight time as much as possible, so trying to find the right battery.
I am currently using ZIPPY Fligh

Didn't somebody make a board with several status (more than the usual three) LEDs for hooking it to the APM? And make a special branch of the firmware (Copter, as far as I remember) to control them? I cannot find it anywhere. I was about to do tha

This may sound crazy. How about a quadcopter designed for underwater use. Brushless motors operate perfectly well submerged and the rest can be waterproofed quite easily. Idea being that one would use small props, basically the quad would operat

Hi I am using an APM 2.6 with the latest Arducopter Software.
Today I connected a MB 1200 XL sonar sensor to the APM (pin A0).
I enabled the sonar in the Mission Planner and selected the XL-EZ0 / XL-EZ4 sensor.
If I use the CLI to test the sensor I get

my APM 2.5 just stopped working. When I connected it to Mission Planner via USB (battery not connected) it began to update the values as normal. But then in the middle of the job it just froze. Now I cannot connect to the Mission Planner anymore
As far as I can tell these two products are the exact same thing.
What keeps me from buying the cheaper one?!!! Once again they are the exact same thing! Now I love 3DR to death, but a 30$ price deficit is calling my name. Please gi

Has anyone actually managed to get this to work? I can get my hexacopter to trigger via the Remote Control and via right clicking on the map in Mission Planner and saying "take picture" but not during an automatic flight.

When Planning a mission with an auto take off, how does one set a pure "take off and rise vertically to desired altitude" command?
AT the moment I can only get the copter to take off and immediately dart off to waypoint 1. Sometimes it is not high e

I would like to use a 433 LRS system with an FPV plane (X8) but the alternative 3DR 900 Mhz telemetry hardware is not permitted in Germany even if you have an Amateur Radio Licence as I do. The 800-1000 Mhz band is widely used by mobile phones and

Does any one know will the 433MHz LRS works well with the APM 2.5 installed nearby? I mean not very close but on the same model.
The reason why I am asking is that I had an issue with the 35MHz standard radio system and APM 2.5 board which is gi
