Connected up the new XL-MaxSonar EZ0 (MB1200) which turned up in the mail today and I'm testing with the motors running and the motors off while holding it about 150cm off the carpet.First log attached is with the motors running. The sonar data start

I just recorded a 9 min hover in roughly the same spot out to a tlog file and then exported that to a KMZ file. When I play it back it looks like the altitude recorded jumps to zero on one tracking point per second and the rest appear at the cor

Stable mode is very stable in windless conditions. Alt hold and Loiter are very accurate so no problems their. I w

I am a System Engeneer and programmer, i like arduino concept and have done some different thing with it : network temperature sensors with wiznet and arduino328, 2 wheel autonomous robot with URM37 that can be piloted with iphone btstack and

Does anyone have a basic primer on ho

test:398: error: 'mix_mode' was not declared in this scope
It seems that the mix_mode variable is declared in Parameters.h, but that is never include

So I hooked the airspeed sensor to an arduino pro mini (5V) for debugging.
Code:

After a crash i managed to read off the logs on my APM and check it via usb, but unfortunately when i took my heli apart i accidently hit the on switch and burnt off the capacitior on my oil pan.
Its the 47uF Tanatlum just above the "analog 3.3v" t

But after some flying the quadcopter suddenly turn(yaw) 90 deg (in simple mode) and i was not able to steer because he was now and then turning 90 deg, always c
Read more…Hello all. I was wondering if anyone knew how to implement camera stabilization for Pan (Yaw) and Tilt (Pitch)?
I was thinking I would use channel 6 for Tilt (Pitch), 7 for Pan (Yaw) from my RC receiver to the APM and then APM outputs 5 (Tilt) and 6

I had several bad crashes and had to rebuild... so when I finally got all my parts (postal strike in Canada did not help) this is how it now looks
As you can see I did several "updates" to the original design...
