I'm currently testing APM at my desk using an elevon setup. Currently, I am only using a 2 position switch, 1 position being manual, and 1 being stabilize. Dx6i default settings for plane.
When in stabilize mode, moving the APM/Shield works correctly

I'd like to know what digital and analog pins can be used for other tasks than the original.
For example, if you don't need 8 INPUT and 8 OU

I saw some recommandations with powering the APM with only 2S 7.4V lipo battery through the 5V linear regulator on the Oilpan.
But I'll need a 3S 11.1V or 4S 14.8V to power my servos AND the APM.
So my question : is it possible to use that kin

At my school, there have been a few senior projects related to UAVs.They were good projects except they were never completed either due thecomplexity of the project or complications along the way.

Our small USB controller lets you control a range of Nikon or Canon digital cameras for remote controlled or automated photography. Some Canon Powershot cameras also have controllable zoom.  The |
After a month of struggling with trying to figure out why I had no GPS data, I discovered the following tip in the APM manual. I tried this and it solved my problem. As they say, RTFM. Thanks again to everyone who has tried to help me figure out m

I am planning to add the magnetometer to my APM to provide heading information.
As a PPL holder, I am fully aware that GPS can only provide track information and as such, GPS based navigation is inefficient in anything but dead calm conditi

Getting interested in UAVs down here in kiwi-land.
Thanks for the range of resources everybody! Have had a great look around and was just wondering on which was the best FPV/UAV platform.

I have placed an order for an Arducopter kit and I am very enthusiastic about this project. After looking through this site further and the Arducopter Wiki I am very confused however about what I will actually get for my money.
I am having problems with my MediaTek GPS receiver and I am wondering if the firmware upgrade that is linked to the Ardupilot (not APM) Manual is current? I updated my MediaTek firmware several weeks ago using this code, and I am wondering if it is
