Hello,
following the discussions of vibration problems in the thread "Arducopter drift issues" and the helpful suggestions of JMD45, and others, I have implemented the 'silicone legs' solution for mounting the ACM/IMU, and thought I should post a few

I'm trying to write waypoints to my APM board using QGC but I get the error "Operation timed out"
I think it's because QGC says my rover is in "Uninitialized mode".
QGC keeps saying: "Uninitialized, booting up" where it shows you the status of you

Hello,
Thanks again to all the people involved in the APM.
Today had very good success with APM and HK GCS.
Considering the airframe is an EasyStar, I encountered fairly strong/gusty winds, estimate 10-15kts.
Mission consisted of 13 waypoints with diffe

Some questions from an FNG; New to Arducopter/Quadrotor UAVs, but eager to learn...
Afternoon all,
Ive been doing a fair bit of lurking, and am very interested in the ArduCopter system, namely for the pre-built Quadcopters on jdrones.
To be honest, my practical RC and Electronics experience is pretty limited, but I am very keen to lea

I know this has been answered I just can't find it. I am assuming yes.
Also, how would I go about do this? I know I need a special programing board w/USB. Is the program in like C++ or anything similar?

Hi All,
I've been trying to understand how to get a quadrotor helicopter under control against wind, keeping it in the planned path and speed, despite the wind.
I have got a set of equations (six of them to be precise -x,y,z,theta, phi and psi), all of

Hi
I'm just setting up a Skyfun with an APM and a JR PCM9X.
Im after some clarification around elevon mixing.
Presently APM is connected directly to Skyfun servos.
Receiver is an R770S connected to APM.
I'm not using a VTail mixer between the APM and serv

My question is how well does the latest version of the Ardupilot Mega handle smaller airframes? I've only been seeing the ArduPilot used on larger/medium sized rc planes like the Easy Star.
Is it able to control a smaller airframe well enough?
