Unfortunately, I ran into some issues with APM - it kept crashing. This happened 3 times - once at altitude while in stabili

I have an APM 2.5 on a hexacopter frame and I am getting background noise on the gyros as seen looking at the tuning raw sensors on the mission planner.
The noise on the gyros when the platform is stable on a desk is enough to cause the camera mo

They are incapable of supplying much more than 400ma, so with GPS, Apm, Long Range reciever and Minim they are near the limit.
Any load near 400ma and the voltage drops to near zero.
I cant understand why they even mention 2

I have recently fitted a gimbal & camera to my Quadcopter (APM 2.5/2.9.1) with a video link. It was just a cheap chinese one similar to this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261102207365?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Hi,
So I know that the APM has Magnetometer Calibration(finding the offsets) built into the code but the ArduIMU v3 does not. Does anyone have the link to that snippet of code that calibrates the offsets?
Thanks,

It is archaic in the way you have to access everything, now if i could code i would do something about it but i cannot, so i thought i would post here in the hopes someone e
Hi Folks,
In Radio calibration i am being able to use only two modes, one of which is flight mode 6 which cant be changed from manual. Is there any way, i could make extra flight modes with the transmitter. i use a 9cap transmitter with APM 2.5.
