hi,I'm using an Ardupilot Mega and the IMU Shield Oilpan for my Autopilot System. After the initial setup using the Command Line Interpreter, I'm having a problem with the servos in that, when I put the Ardupilot Mega in Flight Mode and move the RC S
Read more…I have researched a ton on what commercial gyros are doing with the delay setting. This is used to alleviate the phase lag introduced with the slower servos. How are they actually implementing this in software? Any help here would be great

HK, once again thanks for the awsome GCS!
Just a few questions regarding the GCS and APM 2.012
I understand that APM 2.012 is beta but I am curious if anyone is having luck with these few issues.
I just want to make sure I am not missing somethin

I'm trying to run a simulation using X-Plane to get comfortable with the RC system. I'm unable to get an output graph for the servos in APM Planner, even though the servos are connected through APM and they move when I move the sticks
Read more…Not sure if this is a dumb question since i havent gotten to that point. What do you have to do to get all motors responding to the throttle stick? Or does the ardupilot take care of it by outputting whatever signal comes in from the throttle stick,

I receive my official Arducopter full electronics last week from jDrones. A lot of fun during building.
I have soldered ESCs power directly to Power Distribution Board.

hi, I'm new to DIY Drones...actually I never made a UAV like project... but I think I'll try to in the future.So, I got some xbee pros, and I have a gps here... one like this:http://www.cutedigi.com/pub/GPS/SR-92_User%20Manual_EN.pdfso, I got it conn

Hi all,
I fly a 4m fuel powered UAV, i need to add engine temperature and rpm sensors, a fuel level sensor and a battery voltage sensor.
I read the "how to add analog sensors" in the manual but i need to know how do i add them to the apm code so i can
Hi Guys,Experienced RC pilot shopping for an airframe to do my first ArduPilot build with.Loads of experienced guys here, but one problem, I really can't stand the EasyStar style aircraft. I know they are really popular here but no, just no, can't be

I have a old Ardupilot board that I wana use for antenna tracker in HK*GCS but after installing the ArduCode and connecting the pin out 1 and 2 up to my servos I have no movement in the servo's , I measured the voltage output on - and + and t

I'm back to the world of Arducopter since a few months of absence due to personal problems and I didn't keep up with all the things that happened.
Browsing around I saw that there are 4 firmware available:
I am trying to determine how much vibration is a factor in other quadcopters based on a given throttle setting and how that affects stabilizing the craft in flight. I'm asking for someone to simply share a graph of their data while the quadcopter is
