II have the realflight 5.5 RC simulator.
I use it to practice my orientation skills without bending real hardware.
Whne I ordered my ArduCopter from Jdrones I started looking for a simulator that had a quad.
The visual presentation of a Quad is very dif

I just began working on my own INS/IMU over the past couple weeks. I've made pretty good progress so far. I'm using the newer Sparkfun 6DOF IMU board with an Arduino. I've opted to use a complementary filter, which so far look promising.
I've

I am stuck at the esc calibration stage.
My esc's seem to behave erratically.
I am following this manual--

The motors seem to power on and off on their own. I seem to have no control. Sometime

Read more…Hello,
I'm thinking of fitting a 70A automotive relay between the LIPO and the ESCs, which are the standard AC2 m2mpower AC20-1.0 type without optos. In the field, the APM/IMU would then be able to boot up with the ESCs and motors isolated. The APM is

This is first time I fly (successfully at least!) and I've noticed that my controls seemed "inverted"...

Okay in theory of course, could the ArduPilot fly a full scale helicopter?
Instead of servos, you could talk to the existing fly by wire of a helicopter (which then move the mechanical linkages). There would be no need to change any code or outputs

I am running APM using a separate power source(a 2S lipo) on the aux power lead(unsoldered SJ1 blob jumper). I have realized that if I disconnect power from this connection, I lose all control of the servos.

Looking for some suggestions to try and troubleshoot an interesting problem. I have a standard ArduCopter kit (the most recent version from the DIYDrones store, + GPS / magnetometer / sonar, but no telemetry) and am running 2.0.23. In addition to t

Okay so I have a quad with Arduino and an IMU. It in itself is a stable flying platform (theoretically, I haven't built it yet). What I want to do is send from a PC/Laptop RC signals to the Arduino on the Quad. Basically make it Fly-by-Wire* wi
