How do I know what mode I am in when I use the switches for GPS hold (on/off) and acrobatic/stable mode? I have telemetry data coming in, but is there a way to display what mode I am in so I know which position of the switch is the right one? And my

Hello,
First of all I would like to say Thanks to the DIY team for such a great
product.
Quick question, I received my Arducopter just the other day, however,

Hi guys!
This is my first post, so please take it easy on me. I received my ArduCopter this week and assembling went smoothly. I have been flying a MikroKopter Quad and a MikroKopter Octo for two year, so I'm not entirely new to the field. I'm an embe
Hey guys,
Some may get confused on how to connect the ESC motor leads to the motor.
Nice work on the code guys.
I have setup everything for arducopter with the configurator and did everything the directions said. The z axis acceleration sensor is displaying values of 400 or so when the the copter is not moving. And when doing the flight pre-check, when I arm t
