New user, just assembled my board, and I think it's up and running fine. But I'm a little confused about what is going on with APM and the firmware.
Originally I found APM Planner 1.0.77 somewhere on one of the links in a wiki, downloaded that, and

I have an Arudplane and use the mission planner via an Xbee link. When I replay a tlog file the aircraft symbol at the centre of the Map display shows a current heading that seems to bear little relationship to the GPS track and sometimes shows I am

Has anyone looked at the MB-LPS-01 series of differential pressure sensors by Microbridge?
There is quite a lineup in sensitivity/range (see spec sheets attached).
I'm looking for an air-speed sensor appropriate for a low-speed UAV (say, 15

I was having trouble getting my APM to read the RC signal. I thought it might get fixed by re-uploading fresh code and running the setup, so that's what I did. But once I updated the code (using mission planner), I found that my APM

So now, we have to buy USB Capture Card, li
