I was out playing around with "Circle mode" the other day and noticed that circle will stop the helicopter in it's tracks and point east for some reason. I love the fact that it's holding a position cause I was unable to do so with "Loiter". I though

I appreciate the updates of MP but I don't like to have to be careful to say NO to the update whenever I startup. I am staying with an older version that works for me but I could wipe it out anytime I startup if I screwup and answer YES to

I seem to have encountered some weird camera gimbal operation with APM 2.5 and MP 1.2.22. I have used the APM 2.0 before with camera stab fine with pitch and yaw. This is the first time I have used all three camera axes - pitch, roll and yaw

I've noticed my quad is keeping its existing yaw orientation when returning home in RTL. I find this really confusing, is it possible to have it orient itself in the direction of travel?

I'm in the process of assembling a 3d robotics hexacopter from a kit, and in the directions, it gives me these steps:
1. Solder all bullet connectors to the motors and ESC. Male connectors go on the
motors and female on the ESC.
2. Slide a piec

Is there any software out there that can count a cattle head numbers? Like, I take a serie os pictures and put these pictures in a computer and a software counts the numbers based on image recognition? I don't need real time recognition...
Thanks

In the attopilot setup instructions in the mission planner it says I should measure my ESC voltage and subtract 0.3v from it get the correct voltage calculation.
What's the procedure if using a separate BEC?

This is a simple question I am having for some experts out there. I am getting a GIMBAL LOCK problem when I pitch my APM-1 board 90 degrees (downwards), the roll and yaw values becomes crazy.

i found this at MK-Forum: Sexpander - A small Spektrum DX7 Channel Expander
I think ist is pretty neat, but needs code change.
Do you think it is possible to implement this at ardupilot?
And how would it be done best in terms of compatibility?
