Hi All,
I am very new but want to jump right in as soon as possible. My prime interest at the moment is vertical still photography (mapping, etc.) and I would like to order a fixed wing UAV and go from there. It will be a learning platform that I hop

nothing much is showing on the apm when i play a log file.
This is a video exampel of a flight i did yesterday, gps light was solid blue, so it mean at least 5 sat (only 2 notified in the video) and instruments not moving much.

It looks like writing a parameters file with this new version and previously saved with a older version of MP gives u

If it does, where does one connect it and in what flight modes does the APM use the OFS to stabilise flight? Or how exactly does it work?
Thanks :)

Read more…Hi,
I bought a QuadPOD to learn how to fly a QuadCopter. The radio I have is the Spectrum DX 5 2.4Ghz.
All you can do is trim, you can't adjust the reponse. Fast is 100% servo travel, Slow is 75%. With a Quad I think you need 50%. I've calibrated

Read more…Hi,
Does anyone have idea how to make failsafe RTL when GPS fails? Here is some ideas:
OPTION 1:
If GPS fails ardupilot could calculate the distance and bearing to home using the init position fix and the last known position fix before the gps failure.

I can't find any instructions about assembling it.
I am now wondering whether I need to solder the GPS to the support pins that are labelled 5v Gnd or whether it picks up the 5v and Gnd via the multip

The video shows a quadrocopter with some coils around the outsides of the motor arms flying over an array of coils, inducing a current on the stationary coil to power a small LED light.

i ve seen in the last update that optical flow can be enable throught the mission planner, so i ve ordered one :)
i have a cpl of questions:
in what mode exactly is it working?, improving the use of the sensor in alt mode?
