Folks,
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

1) Configuration Tab/Planner, my Dist Unit is Feet, and Speed Units is fps
2) Flight Planner Tab, my Mouse location/Alt is in Meters and Home Location/Alt (abs) is in Feet, which is MSL = (means

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.
I whic

I'd really like it to remember the home location when I arm it...
Thanks for the information.

New to this...
Have installed the 3DR telemetry radios, and am looking at the possibility of using a joystick for telemetry control.
First...
What's the general thoughts about the pros and cons of joystick/gamepad vs R/C radio?
And I assume I

Read more…I'm running into problems with Voltage sag, I think.
Eg: At rest, armed V=11.8. Spool up to hover power, and it drops to 10.5. Push the sticks a bit in Stabilise, and it's down to 10.0. Land, disarm...back to 11.7-11.8.
This is slightly annoying and da

I had a crash a couple weeks ago ("moderate" impact?...APM case intact), and am wondering about the integrity of my APM 2.5+ and it's accelerometers and other sensors.

I'm doing PID tuning today, and it's 20mph winds. The thing is bouncing around all over the place even in loiter, and I'm not sure if it's the rates or the wind. :-)
