Assembling a 3DR quadcopter and reworking a Rover from last year and I have a couple of questions which aren't getting answered by the vendor so I thought I'd try here.
Hello, i have a problem wit the air module, i accidently set baud rate to 111, like in the picture, and now i cant load or upload any settings or upload a new firmware, even with forcing bootloader (tried it using rs-232). Is there any way to flash i

I want to use the new capabilities (thenks Jani) of the JD-IOboard to transmit the telemetry to my Flysky er9x firmware through the DJT-D8R-II plus combo.
Therefore, I'll update the firmware to the er9x frsky. Furthermore, I want to become the

I am a novice and just bought a ready to fly Arducopter Hexa 3DR couple of weeks back and having problems with throttle settings. They are too sensitive. full power comes at approx. 3 if you assume Throttle has scale of 0-10. My friend has crashed

Hi finally was able to test my jDrones quad outdoors but I'm not sure everything is ok, but maybe, having never flew copter, this is the right behavior.
Behavior I noticed in the quad
First problem I've seen is that the quad drift quite a lot forward/

I can get MP to gag on demand, although I'd rather not. 8-)
I connected to my board via USB, and entered the Configuration screen.
As you can see, I went to the ArduCopter Config screen.
Click on 'Refresh Params'.

The problem:
- I put a set of new props on my good flying apm 2.0 Quadrocopter
- I have EVERYTHING soldered: Motors/ESC/APM so there is no quick plug in/out possible.
- I want to do dynamic balancing with the props. I did it with the old set of prop

Hi,
I'm trying to setup my Turnigy 9x to trigger failsafe on arducopter, but I noticed that when I turn off the radio, the signal of the throttle stays the same as it was before turning it off, instead of dropping to 0.
I found this page on the ardupil

I was thinking about it, and "Loiter" mode would use GPS when there's a good lock and optical flow when squal is good, and ignore each input as necessary. Separate from that, we wou

Today I tested my latest plane design. Before the first flights I decided to make a short test drive with a car just to test how the APM 2.5 and installed telemetry and other things work. During the test I noticed quite interesting thing...

Cause if so, I'll glue the arms in place, so they don't shift.
Or screw em in real tight. But I'm afraid that

I need to reverse a channel of the radio (the pitch channel, which by default is setup the opposite way I'd expect it to work).
But in the latest version (1.2.27) I cannot find the checkbox for the reverse any more (like the screenshot available in

I noticed that in ArduPlane 2.68/CGS_MAVLink.pde, line 1159 (about):
case MAVLINK_MSG_ID_SET_MODE:
There is no call to mavlink_check_target.
Is that intended?
Doesn't it mean that if one has 2 UAVs in the same network (broadcast radio, multicast TC
