I tested FBW A and after hand launch the plane climbed very very very slowly even though I had the stick from radio pulled fully down. But when I switched to stabilize mode the plane seemed to have lot more control in pitch. What is the logic of the

During the Arducopter purchase I noticed that I have to make some choices:
My requirement is to fly the quadcopter with GPS (for waypoint navigation), sonar (for height sensing) and IR (for object avoidance). I may go for a Hero2 camera with a

Read more…I was quite excited receiving my power module, but shocked at how heavy it is! Then it struck me, I could probably do away with my BEC, since the power module supplies 5.3v at 2.25 Amps.
Bad idea? If not, where would be the best place to take the powe

From MAVLINK documentation, I understand that the protocol uses little-endian encoding on the wire. This assumption produces meaningful data for a lot of packets. However some packets make no sense in LE

Although, I have experience with quads, I am going for my first purchase (ready-to-fly) kit for Arducopter. I thought better ask the community on where to purchase, Udronesor jDrones or buildyourowndrones based on their experience. Factors

Read more…Hi,
first up - my problem is with an APM 2.5 clone (arduflyer) - I know some of you don't want to assist with hardware not bought from 3dr store (which is fine) so I'll make this point clear at the beginning so you can stop reading.
If you're still re

Ok, so Im setting up my APM 2.5 with a RFDesign 900 Modem and a Minim OSD. I have been looking around and so far, I have seen in relation to the 3DR radios and minim osd, people are running them in parallel. However, I have also seen where t

Are there some basic instructions anywhere on how to operate the radios? How do I know it's recording or not? How do I set up MP so I

I wanted to check [before putting the order for the 433MHz 3DRs] if anyone is using or tested a Scherrer LR RX/TX with 3DR telemetry? They are using the same band so interference is likely, anyone care to share their experiences and/o

I happened to chance upon these cloned 3DR Radios at HobbyKing while looking into the "DIY Electronics" section.
Really sad to see that they haven't credited DIYDrones / 3DR at all except a link to the wiki page. The have just coied the description fr
