Hi,
I was doing the first preliminary tests and was testing to see if everything looked ok.
Throttle, yaw, roll all works fine: if I move the stick the copter moves the way it should.
The one one that is reversed is pitch: with the front arm pointing fo

Is it a good idea to plug in the 4.8 v battery pack to the AP

I'm trying to setup my turnigy 9x with stock firmware to send 8 channels to the APM2 and I was trying to understand how it works.
In the configuration I can assign to the AUX channels, ch 5 to ch 9 from the output of the following switches and pote

Here is one method how to configure the throttle failsafe to APM / Futaba T8FG (Super)
1. Make normal radio calibration in Mission Planner.
2. Enable throttle failsafe in failsafe configuration page and set PWM limit value to 1000
(this PWM limit val

I just configured my radio and APM 2.5 to throttle failsafe mode. When I put the power off from the radios the APM goes to CIRCLE mode, not in RTL mode. OK-> I understood that if I'm flying in STAB or MAN mode (not in any autonomous mode) the fail

Read more…Dear all,
I have seen a few websites that sell RTF quadcopters, hexes, octos etc... using Arupilot. How do they do it?
What I mean is, if I bought one of their products, will all the settings be pre-programmed on the board and then shipped?
What would h

The board powers up but all the LED's are lit and it's not recognised by a PC through USB.

Problem:-
I mostly fly on my own which makes it difficult to use a laptop and change PIDs in flight so I usually land to upload a new value. If I trusted my settings more perhaps I could go ‘heads down’. My flying field is not great so frequent landi

My APM2.0 with ArduPlane 2.68 does couple of things that I cannot believe is quite right:
Hello,
I'm using the APM 2.5 to register GPS and IMU information but my missions takes me around 1.5 hours.
Is there anyways to extend the capacity of the APM 2.5?
I was thinking about getting arduino UNO Rev. 3 with a SD shield and try to connect it to

I've recently assembled my 3d robotics hexacopter kit, and I'm trying now to calibrate the ESCs, which are 3d robotics brand. When I plug in my Lipo, they make the musical note and beep, and the propellers jerk slightly. And then the beeping
