After some info from someone with experience or knowledge in this area, rather than just hearsay or speculation, please:
If I have two radios, one horisontally and one vertically polarised, I know the interference between them is minimal so you

I recently updated my UGV firmware to ArduRover 2.42 (I cant' remember what I had before) but with the same params, when I get a connection between my GCS

HMC5983 replace HMC5883L temperature compensation triaxial compass
The regular HMC5883L compass has no temperature compensation, is there a benefit to this one for ArduCopter?
Ok, so I know sticking an APM into a TBS Disco is not new, but it's certainly new to me.
However, my starting point is slightly different from the normal route, and would appreciate any advise others may have. Basically, instead of starting with a fl

I have an Hexacopter running Arducopter 3.0.1 with Mission Planner 1.2.62. I could not find on the copter parameters the possibility to setup and enable the gimbal pan and tilt parmaters as it was for 2.9.1b and older version of Mi

I have an application where it is desired that the plane stays level in auto flight. It should turn with the rudder and not bank at all.
ArduPlane currently cannot do that. It uses ailerons as primary heading change control and the rudder is used a

I want to put the APM power module on a rig running 6S battery packs.
I see the Max input voltage of the current sensor is 18V.
Any recommendations how I can monitor a 6S pack with the APM in Mission planner?
thanx!

anybody using an HMC5983 sensor or has experience with that? Compared with the 5883L it can output at higher rates and is temperature-compensated. I'm planning to build an external compass pole...
