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

Basically for the IMU and Motherboard I am using (Arduino) I need to take the power from a 1000mAh 11.1v Lipo battery and convert it to a 3.3v power source for the boards. However, I also need this same battery to power four brushless motors

I am new to this and got a working ArduPilotMega soldered together and flashed with the current APM release 2.1.2. Sensor output looks reasonable from the CLI test utility. I would like to hook up my APM on ground to qGroundControl (0.8.3-build24)

When I engage Alt hold the quad climbs a little bit and drops again, then goes up but a little further. Then goes down again and the distance keeps getting bigger.
I only use baro.

Would be fun to have bicopter support (Avatar type).
Two rotors and two servos outputs.
Servos outputs would need diffential mixing.

I have 2 quick question, I got a predator on his way 74" from Hking in which I ve planned to set up 2 x 5000mAh batteries that weight around 500gr each.
( Google says 500 grams = 17.636981 ounces )
Do you think that this is something doable
