Hi everybody,
I've been developing on an Antenna Tracker based around my Ardupilot Mega V1 for the last few months and am just about to start on Mk 2.
The tracker is able to rotate continuosuly in azimuth. I wanted this feature so the tracker can be

Hi all
I have a problem connecting to my brand new APM2.5. I connected the UBLOX gps and then connected the APM to my USB / computer. As the video shows, when the gps is connected, the leds are lit for 2 seconds and then dim. If i don't have the gps c

I am having a bit of trouble with APM 2.5 and MP 1.2.51 (I upgraded from 1.2.50 this afternoon). Yesterday I took my new APM 2.5 out of the box and loaded Arduplane 2.73 firmware. Everything worked great. I could connect and disconnect without any

Last weekend I maiden-ed my new 8' (2.4m) Super Sky Surfer with Arduplane 2.72 and had a fantastic first flight. Stabilize, FBW-A and Loiter all worked fine right out of the box with no further tuning; although I'm sure some refinement

Read more…Hi All,
I've misplaced my power module and would like to know if it's possible to use my APM 2.5 without it until I can get another one in. Is it possible? How do I power the servos and APM?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
