Today I got an email from Hobbyking advertising their HKPilot Mega V2.5 Flight Controller. Has anyone else seen this? It bares a striking resemblance to the Ardupilot Mega 2.5. The description is virtually the same. I know the arduino based boards an

I did order an APM couple of months ago and I did pay shipping to Canada (QC) like $10, using USPS.
Now if you want to order the same part, shippi

Potential setup is:
- Camera gimbal(Cinestar 8 like) with ArduIMU + Ublox GPS.
- ArduPlane.

Read more…Hi,
a few days ago i started experimenting with the takeoff-waypoint.
first flight was ok, but since then i have a good chance that the value for altitude is corrupted before takeoff (although i have 7,8,9 satellites)
this might be coincidence and have

I would like to know who is sitting down. RTL_FINAL to 0 or Land? Will the new firmware turn off the engine when landing? Is it okay to take off and land between checkpoints? There are also a number of minor issues. In RTL why he sometimes climbs

I could really use some help.
I want to build a version of 2.9.1b that has the external mag enabled, so I need to build the code on my Mac. I've been pounding my head against the wall for quite a while trying to figure out how to get the Mac Ar

I narrowly avoided a flyaway with my newly finished Flame Wheel 550 with an APM2.5. From what I've determined so far, the issue seems to be related to mounting the APM between the top and bottom plate on the FW550 I had it mounted directly on

My plan is to mount 2 cameras on my quadcopter.
A Hero GoPro, for a front view, and a small Sony CCD camera for a rear view.
I transmit the video signal back to my video goggles using a 200mw FPV wireless Tx/Rx set.
Works OK now with one camera.
