Hello Everybody!
I have ArdupilotMega, soldered it a few days ago and connected to PC via usb to test. Most part of the tests via CLI works good, however I've got a problem with gps test.
So, I go the CLI, then type: test - > gps and get something like

I am trying to build myself a cheap tricopter using the arduIMU v2+ and a HMC5843 magnetometer. Due to my lacking soldering skills, I managed to solder the magnetometer somewhat skewed/tilted. My question is if I should try to desolder the

I'm testing Madgwick's quaternion DCM C code with a Sparkfun 9DOF sensor stick. It's oscillating a lot due to the accel integral term (like 5-10 degrees peak-to-peak, lasting for minutes).
I know the idea is to keep the P gain low, so that

I have APM 1.0 (running the the 1.02), Mediatek GPS with the 1.6 firmware. I enabled the line and added the 16 to the APM_Config.h

I'm a UAV newbie and I am investigating the myriads of possibilities in building a UAV platform. I have chosen the ArduPilot mega + IMU as my autopilot platfrom and all is good with that. The next thing is to figure out the groundstation setup.

I have no time to play with my ArduCopter.
I want to sell it now, if someone in Germany is interested, let me now.
