Hi Guys,
I'm just testing my new ArduPilot Mega board before the first flight on my twinstar. Everything seems to work and rudders move in stabilized mode when I tilt the plane.
Now I am desperately seeking an explanation for all the parameters in the

I've just been doing some tests with the Minim Osd and I must say it's great. One thing which is bothering me though is the positioning of the characters on the screen. I am transmitting using a fatshark 5.8 Ghz transmitter to my fat shark gog

After this thread (http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/a-noob-flying) I did some flying tonight and played around with the Alt hold and position hold with some odd results.

Hi All,
I am running a bixler with the Arduplane 2.28 firmware. Everything works pretty well, but I have been seeing a few strange issues with the reported altitude of the plane. The spot where I launch is 10m above sea level, but when I reload the ho

I have this current sensor for my OSD but would like to transfer it to APM1 on a quad.
It's not complicated - Sensor Gain: 100 (1 volt output equals 10 Ampere current).
Tried connecting it to APM following the wiki instructions, but it would only show

I've had my 3DR quad for a few weeks now and have done a bit of flying over the weekend and bits in the evening and still not getting the hang of this. Not sure if it is me or if it is the 'copter.

I.e. one apm controls top 4 motors, second apm controls bottom four motors.
Obviously 8 ESCs and maybe even dual transmitters.
This would be a truly uncrashable system.
Iv noticed even w

It bobs up and down 3-4meters. Iv tried changing the alt hold P to 0.30, 0.35 and 0.4.
It works the best around 0.32. But it revs the motors too hard and pulses the copter up and down.
What should I change with regards to
