Hello,
With the APM and Oilpan operating normally what voltages should be present on the TelemPort pins on the oilpan when referenced to ground without the DIY Drones XtreamBee interface Board connected?
These are the values I am getting,
GND to
Hello! I'm new to the DIY Drone community, but have been into R/C aircraft and FPV for years. (Started back in highschool with a simple 200mw 1.2Mhz transmitter and camera on my sailplane) Anyway, I'm interested in upgrading my plane to have some UAV

today I flew my plane with APM (1.02) + MTK16 GPS. On the ground home lock went ok. In the air stabilization mode worked perfect, then switched to RTL, this workedperfect too - from 300m away returned and hanged around me. Then switched t

Hello,
I have a MAX7456 chip, which is a relatively simple OSD chip. It's fitted on a breakout board and you talk to it through an SPI.
I tried to find out a way to easily connect the chip on the ardupilot, but the current SPI is used I think for the A

Hi Guys,
APM with Airspeed and MediaTek 1.6, running the latest APM public release (i.e not one of the CVS but the main download page).
I have been tuning the system up, and it flies superbly! Except when I go AUTO > Manual > AUTO
If I let the plane

I've observed two major issues:

Tried the GPS hold in my quad today, and it looks to be working. It will hover within about a 10-15 ft space horizontally and about 6-8 ft vertically.
Will the ublox module provide better accuracy or is a matter of the rate at which the APM is samplin
I hope this hasn't been covered already here. I did some searching, but didn't turn anything up.
I have a gps track formatted in kml (and I could probably massage it into a variety of formats or restructure the kml if needed.)
Basically I would like t
