I'm not sure what happened here so I'm hoping that someone could look at the video and give me some ideas.It was in stable flight mode.It started to drift to the left and as I was correcting, the quad started to slightly oscillate left and right, the

From what I've read ArduCopter is doesn't do a good job at holding position at low altitude.
Wouldn't it be cool to use AR Drone's system for low altitud

Read more…Well to answer my own question… yes it can :)
I was surprised this could happen. Maybe it's a defect in the prop? I had at least 50 flights on it and usually always do some full accelerations but this time when I pumped the throttle, I heard a crack

I used the UDB HILPlugin for Xplane on both Windows and Mac using the compiled binary for both operating systems. On windows everything works fine; using the same configuration of the setupHILPlugin file on Mac I can control the airplane but both

I'm trying to setup my Arducopter with Configurator 1.2.2. but it fails when it tries to connect my Arducopter. It writes "reading configuration" and nothing happens. I put 30 sec timeout and my USB port is the right one.
I don't know if it is c

Read more…Hi,
I successufully configured the UDB Red Board with MatrixPilot software (2_5_1 version) and managed to perform the first tests on Xplane with HILPlugin, but there's still something I did not get yet:
I calibrated the Mag with the CLI till the numbers didnt change.
When I watch the artificial horizon, the heading drifts.
Over 5 minutes the heading shifts 45 deg.
I set the declination to 6 decimal points to see if that helped.
Could this be related to
