Hi all guys,
I have a very strange problem.
I bought an ESC to control the motor of my electric model, and I connected evertything to my Autopilot, but I realized the ESC makes strange noises and cannot understand which is the source.

Two days ago I uploaded an improved gyro/accelerometer calibration code to the Pirates's thread (http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=17455791&postcount=4992). This code makes sure the platform is stable while measuring the gyros' rest p

Whenever I switch APM to FLY mode (handle of the switch closer to DIP-switches) both boards (oilpan and ardupilot mega) got shut off! No leds, no ftdi virtual com-port in computer's device list. And the buffer chip(74act157 on APM board)

I finally got my replacement motor after previously having issues with motors shorting themselves out etc, this is the 3rd right side motor now, the last two went up in smoke (literally).
At first it was suspected that it was the poor qu

So i can't do setup(radio, modes) in serial monitor after uploading
Read more…This is a basic script for connecting U-Blox GPS to U-Center through an APM (as a middleman) basicly connects Serial 1 directly to Serial 0 (USB) bidirectionally, FYI you can modify the code to use the telemetry port Serial 3 as well.
