Hey there all.
Before I go away and madly assemble my Mega, I was wondering if anyone has had experience with running one in;
A: A very large airframe.
B: Hi vibration environments.
My airframe has a wingspan of 11 feet and runs a 111cc Horizontally oppo

The screen resolution is 1024 x 600 max, and the application doesn't correctly resize is and is too big for the screen.

I moved the motor controls via the code to 3-6.
I set every thing up in the configurator, the raw data feed showing a variation of on

The blue led on the GPS is stable. The LED C (red) is off. Do I have GPS fix or not?
Thanks for helping

I'm worried if I accidentally rapidly increase throttle that my copter will fall from the sky. There's a procedure given for the arducopterNG but have not seen one for ardupirateNG.
Opening the ardupirateNG in arduino and clicking on the Arducopt

Read more…Hello, I would like to share my experience on some test flights I've made today.
I am flying ArdupiratesNG code so I can say the stabilization algorithm is very similar (if not identical) the the current RC2 NG code.
This is what I experience when fl

I'm trying to change my loaded code from arducopterNG TO ardupirateNG.
In the arducopterNG, there is a need to put in declination to compensate for magnetic behavior experienced at local copter location.
// Declination is a correction factor betw

Thanks!

I've purchased the ArduPilot and IMU board and the MediaTek GPS. Im in the first stages of getting things going.
The ArduPilot was pretty easy to download to, but Im having problems downloading the firmware to the IMU. I have followed the tutorial

I need to build a circuit to use the output from a commercial headtracker like the Flytron DT-3K to drive 2 digital or analog servos DIRECTLY, bypassing the whole Tx/Rx paradigm.
Using the DT-3K system WITH a Tx/Rx driving the 2 servos would
