When I switch into RTL mode APM immediately cuts my throttle to zero. My Sky Fun Jet does a beautiful job of gliding back to launch and circling, but the throttle never comes back on. I am guessing that APM cuts the throttle to descend, but shouldn

First of all thank you, this is a great website and will help me loads :)
I have been following the changes taking place to the ArducopterNG code and was hoping fro a major release some time soon. There doesn't seem to be any visible activity on the Configurator so....
Hi all,
Running some tests on my APM after config and the test -> airspeed is coming back with results similar to the following. Pretty sure my Skyfun isn't doing 20km/s sat on my workbench...! Can anyone shed any light on this...? Is my airspeed sen

I soldered a magnetometer on the OilPAN
Then I uploaded the test code for compass to get offsets and everything was working well and I decided to load SuperStable code.
I switched off everything, in orde
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

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
