I cant find any info about APM in taiwan.
so I come here ......but my english is not pretty good
maybe I've found what I want but I missed it.......
hope anyone can answer my little quest
Hi,
after soldering i checked the resistance between all neighbouring pins to make sure i did not make a connection between 2 pins whilst soldering.
all are ok, except the 2 pins marked in attached image.
when i check those, my multimeter beeps, which

I successfully build some Mikrokopters (mikrokopter.de) already and wanted to take a look at Arducopter too as it's 100% open source and seems to be easier to customize and play with.
I built my first one now and have the following question: If I c
Hi All,
I think it’s time to upgrade my motors and ESC’s. I am new to the electric hobby, so when looking at new motors, and comparing them I really don’t know what to look for.
What I have now:
APC 12x3.8 Slow Flyer
TR2217/20 Turnigy 2217 20turn 860kv 2

my problem is the blue led on the imu v2 not locked because the baud rates in the ardupilot and the arduImu not the same ...
can some one tell me where i can find the baud rate in the ardupilot code and in the imu code to change it ..
or if some

After installing the Xbee I was able to power up, get a GPS lock and see telemetry with
Hi all
This must be the best sell pitch ever or just their fantasy.
But still, if somebody can come up with a formula ( battery size , prop size,
motor ) to get at less 50% of that it would be great .
This are the specs for the MD4-1000 from the MicroDrones
Hi all, I have downloaded the latest ArdupilotMega Beta code and installed it. My partial settings are as follows:
1. Downloaded latest Beta Code
2. Defined GPS as #define GPS_PROTOCOL GPS_PROTOCOL_UBLOX
3. Defined GCS as #define GCS_PROTOCOL GCS_PROT

3. Re-set sketchbook

Hello,
Hi All,
I am just starting to play with my APM and with Arduino IDE, but I can't find the hardware documentation
of the arduino mega, I've been looking in arduino.cc and can't found it.
I would like to know the number of timers, interrupts, io,configs,
I WILL NEED TO MAKE A SCHOOL PROJECT FOR MICROCONTROLLERS, AND THE HELICOPTERS IS AN AMAZING TOPIC AND EXCELLENT PROJECT TO DO. THE ONLY THING THAT I NEED IS INFORMATION TO BUILD A QUADCOPTER:
The work being done here is nothing short of fantastic. Opensource brings together some really great minds.
Ok, enough congratulations, on to the suggestions
There are no performance details anywhere. What does it weigh? What motor/prop/ESC? What is th
