Hi Guys,
I am using APM-1. I am raising this question after I heard from Chris Anderson that SD card interfacing with APM is not possible. It may go a bit technical from here as follows:
I read that SD card interfacing is possible with bit-banging by n

It's been a while since I have contributed to the forum. I have been spending quite a bit of time working bugs out of my Tricopter build but have learned much in the process. What I wanted to share with you was my revi

today i tried to fly in the altitude hold mode resp. loiter mode.
When I activate it the Hexacopter ascends about 6-8 meters and descends to the ground.
I just installed the MB1260 XL-MaxSonar-EZL0.
When deactivating the sonar everything works fine.

Hi,
I'm building my arducopter, after a few years leaving it in the box.
I have the APM2.0 with the case, but cannot find a way to fix it to the jDrones frame.
I could fix it without the case using o-rings, but I cannot see how to fix it with the case o

When I activate the Alt hold mode, I´m unable to raise my quad.
In AH mode, throttle stick position is used as a baseline for altitude maintenance. This means, that altitude can still be manually changed by raising or lowering the throttle co
