We are trying to determine if the Sonar has the capability to hold the elevation less then 1 meter. We are attempting to get it to hold things around 30 cm.
When we use the testing routine in the CLI, it appears the sonar starts measuring pretty acc

And now I am looking for the latest and best instructions on testing and checking things out.
Does anyone have a success story to share? :)

Read more…the openpilot board I have is very smooth and wobble free once the PIDs were tuned. My APM2, OTOH is giving me more of a challenge. I just cannot get rid of the bounce without the controls feeling like mush. I was wondering if anyone with both board
Read more…Anyone found a good solution for mounting a camera on an airplane that has a propeller on front? I was concerned about the propeller rotation interferrign with the view. Would mounting on the wing make the plane fly unbalanced as far as airflow?

me personally i think the APM is capable of bringing my plane back and landing if the rx fell out ! do i think DIY should be respons
Hi,
I have almost the same problem as droter and kbcopter in this forum. My observations:
One of the 3DR radios (433 mhz vers.) seems to be ok but I am not sure. It flashes the green LED, but the red LED is NOT flashing upon power up. It seems to respo

Thanks

I've just setup my MiniOSD and have the Mavlink working, but I only seem to ever see 2 different flight modes even though I have several setup. The same thing happens on the Flight Planner too btw..
Is it possible to see the othe

I'm building a heavy Octo for aerial photo & video based on the APM2 board + Carbon Core Octocopter1000 with 360 Pano Mount and Mega Radius camera mount.
The power is provided by two Turnigy nano-tech 6000Mah 6C batteries connected to 8 Hi

Wasn't sure where to post this.. but are these at all useful? I guess they would have to be tested and measured against standard grommets. Not sure how "new" this is today...
Read more…Hi all,
I am working on developing a PID controller designed to hold a levered arm level by controlling an EFlite outrunner motor. The idea being if I can hold one hinged arm level than with 4x the hardware I could make a platform fly. I am using some

Just checked now and the output rail is dead, it'll power up fine with 5V on the input rail. A couple threads mention a diode that may have gone,

I've got a frame (Quadrotor RM450 V2 Airframe) that can snuggly fit 12x45's with about 20mm gap between the props, which gives it enough physical clearance for the props to spin freely without worry about them hitting each other. I've flown it
