I am having 2nos of apm 2.8 boards , facing a serious problem with one board .When changing and writing the Stabilize roll _ pitch values in extended tuning page from apm planner2 GCS the values are not stored and getting returned to 0 , but the oth
I have little to no expieexper in the drone field. However, a year ago I set to accomplish a very ambitious goal (meaning I failed it miserably). In summary, I wanted a drone that can detect RFID signals and react to those signals. Aft
I have read that an ESC is not using the same cooling internal circuit while operating at 100% or at 50 / 75%, and that therefore, the ESC cooling system will be more powerful at 100% than at 50 / 75%, so it advised to use the right prop to allow the
I am building a diy controller mostly for learning mavlink using a Teensy 3.5 MCU and APM Planner. I have a lot implemented already: can send messages to APM planner to display GPS, Attitude Data from an IMU, Pressure sensor for Altitude, battery s
I have been testing ardupilot (using a pixhawk 2.1) for use in GA aircraft. Today I noticed a phenomenon while performing a long coordinated turn. Initially, ardupilot indicated the correct direction of turn and bank angle. Then after ~30 seconds whi
Is there a feature in the Pixhawk 2.1 autopilot system that, in the event of a radio failsafe or low voltage failsafe, will command the drone to return to a previously set waypoint and land there for recovery? All input/ideas are very muc
I have a quadcopter that is using a Pixracer flight controller that should be ready to fly, but when I try to connect the copter to mission planner(ground station), I am receiving a "Com Port Denied" error. Any thoughts as to how to fix this is

I installed a PixHawk Mini on a quad and am having some interesting problems when I throttle up. The motors all oscillate and the quad vibrates terribly. I've flown this quad with these motors and speed controls before with know issues. Anyone kno
What do you think about using Indoor navigation technology for drones. Does this make sense? and in what areas would it be great to implement such a technology?
I bought a quadcopter kit called Skyviper E1700 and I put that together to get a basic understanding of drones, but I would like to make my own (not from a kit) now. The kit does not require any soldering, but almost every website and video I have lo
I'm looking for a way to have triple redundancy autopilots in a drone, I mean, three Pixhawks. The idea is that if two of them have similar readings, the output of one of that two can be send to the ESC.
I've got a SP F7 Dual, and an X8R receiver for my first quad DIY project.
Between these guys, there are a ton of pins, but very little documentation on how to correctly wire them. Most of them seem superfluous, but which, for which use case
Hi, I'm pretty new to RC in general. I have built a Bixler from hobbyking and it comes with the Futaba 14SG radio. I am now in the process of radio calibration. However, when I come up to Mission planner>Radio Calibration it seems my left stick when
i have a APM 2.8 and i was using a spektrum ar6200 Rx ppm i "upgraded" to a Frsky x4r sbus everything seemed to go well with the radio calibration but now the quad wont fly it tips to the right when i try to take off this quad flew fine with the sp
