I am using continuous rotation servo for 'Yaw' control of my camera gimbal. I am using it for stabilization around a setpoint/ target angle, using PID's.
If I give a target of say 60 degrees, the servo should adjust its speed in such a way as

Or it did until I flew

Read more…I asked this question a while ago, with no reply.
Am I right in assuming that the value ‘ay’ as displayed in the flight data screen is sideslip? Would it be a simple programming change to feed this to the rudder for perfectly coordinated turns?
I have

I am currently using the rainy days to setup my APM2.5. Now, I got a Mediatek MTK3329 GPS from flytron.com quite some while ago (used it with MultiWii via I2C at that time).
this GPS also provides serial interface and since I switched over fr
I guess I am right with it, that the APM now gets its trim values on every boot from RC. But if you don´t use an RC(Joystick or only MP) or its powerded off, thats not so fine. Can anyone confirm this "issue".

I don't know if this issue is related to hardware, software or my setup, or if it's an issue at all.
I have two airspeed sensors and both exhibit jumpy readings when the plane is static and indoors. When flying, the log (screen shot below) shows a lot
