Is there a point and shoot camera that has video out like the go-pro? I currently use the gopro video out to send back video of what I am taking a pictures of. I am looking to upgrade to a camera that takes nicer pictures than the GoPro but still n

I have uploaded latest firmware to my helicopter on APM 2.0. When going through "mode setup" i can normally set modes and change between modes. But when going to FLIGHT DATA page and connect with helicopter, when i change between modes nothing

I thought that this (below) camera mount was going to do the trick (and at a bargain pric

I have a problem when using flightdata, and calibrating the radio in the APM Planner. In the planner software, the graphical flight data window does now show changes when I tilt the board, nor does the raw data view show any values but 0. Fur

I was running ArduPlane2.60 library example under arduPlane/libraries/APU_IMU/IMU_Oilpan_test.pde
I just want to check the reading of gyro's and accelerometer. However, when I run the program it gets stuck in setup() here:
imu.init(IMU::COLD_STA
Here's a quick mock-up of the basic idea (not to scale): http://i.imgur.com/bNL4y.png
When vertical, the UAV operates essentially as a quadrotor, with the CG as low as possible to maximise stability.
When in horizontal flight, I think that differential
Hi All,
Why does this happen in APM code in this important function (ArduPlane/ArduCopter)?
imu.init(IMU::COLD_START, delay, flash_leds, &scheduler);
If we use the 'arduino' delay.. the IMU calibrates infinitely (esp. Accelerometer calibration). Using M

Read more…Hi fellow droners
After some shopping around for a easy-to-fly plane with extra space to accommodate the APM, I remembered that the Sky climber is a very good plane for this.
I had one just under a year ago and it went rogue, this was my fault though.
Read more…I have an APM1.4 running 2.7.3FW and the latest MP application.
The camera in the Hex is in a roll/tilt gimbal that is working fine. As the APM1 only has 8 outputs that leaves me with the relay to trigger the camera shutter via a CHDK Gentled link.

My HexaCopter got taken on its first test flight yesterday and I was very impressed.
However, despite new batteries (Turnigy Nanotech 4s 5000mAh 35-70c), every now and then the UAV would "twitch".
Sometimes this would be quite violent or subtle, of

Finally got my HexCopter from uDrones.
I purchased the complete package with 3DR Telemetery, OSD / FPV, Sonar, and Camera Mount.
The camera mount is for much later.
I have no idea how to get the OSD / FPV or the Telemetry to work and I've reached

I am using Mission Planner v1.2.12 mav 1.0, with ArduPlane 2.65 (latest code base). I am getting an empty 'Flight Data' screen (I have connected to maVLink and everything else is Ok).
I have attached the screenshot of this, and turning out to b

I'm on finals building my first 3Drobotics Hexacopter with the bigger 880 motors.
I've tried to find recommendations for LiPo:s but haven't really found any good advice.
It appears that a 3 cell package is correct but which capacity (mAh:s) would be

Is that true?
But would I get any additional benefit from adding sonar to APM 2.5?
Thanks...
