Hi everyone. I am a “newbee” to RC flying and I am building my first quadcopter.
I have two major problems. The first is that 3 of my 4 motors randomly spin up, or randomly beep, even when the APM2 is disarmed. The second is, that after re-installing
Read more…I recieved my new APM 2.0 a few days ago. I tested the board, then installed it in my existing Gaui 330x quad. All was good to the point that firmware and config. was done, ESCs successively armed. I even did a spin up of the motors and all was well

Read more…Hi folks,
I new in this hobby and I am confused about a few things (ok, many things).
The Wiki says that to calibrate the ESC's, I should have my transmitter endpoints set to +100%/-100%. In the radio calibration section of Mission Planner, it talks a

the heading actually says it all. I am wondering if it is save to supply the APM with 7 Volts.
Thanks

I'd love to be able to use this as a PPM input into an APM2, but am concerned about channel assignments.

Hi folks,
Has anyone had any trouble with APM2 taking 5+ minutes to get a GPS lock when used with a Frsky 2-way telemetry receiver?

Hello,
Iam just getting to grips with ApmPlanner (v1.1.92) together with an APMv2.0 and run into a problem.
I set up a simple mission to fly to waypoints, loiter for 40seconds and then onto the next.
My problem is, when i switch to 'Auto' mode, my plane

If I put 4 of these in series I'll get 10,8V 750F capacitor. How many mAh's would this give (if compared to 11.1 V LiPo battery)? Do you find any reasonable usage for this kind of capacitor? What do you think?
One cell:
Capacitance: 3000.0

Hey guys, this is mainly a question for our friends at 3DR, but anyone who has looked at the traces on the APM2 daughterboard, and knows the GPS module, could offer ideas.
