Hey folks,
I have a new project where i am wanting to use an Arduino uno to switch a few bits of electronics (including an LED) on/off. I have been reading everything on transistors and resistors and arduino outputs and leds and am lost in a maze of f

I have power going to the output rail with a 5V Castle BEC.
The twitch is very random and fairly small deflection. In m

I've replaced the 2.9 APM_RC libraries with the libs from 2.8, and commented out some code in radio.pde that referenced those libraries. The issue's disappeared using this workaround so at least I can fly on 2.9 using PPM.

Read more…Hi,
does anyone know if it is possible to use the GPS unit of FY-31AP with the APM 2.5? As I see the FY-31AP GPS needs 3.3 Volt as power supply. And the APM delivers 5 Volt at the GPS output. What can I do?
