I'm using non-Mega Ardupilot with non-Mega ArduIMU+ V2 now. I need more channels to control, so APM looks nice for me. Is it possible to replace AP with APM, leaving old ArduIMU+ in place ? I know the new IMU is much more precise and full of feat
Hi All,
I am doing the first test with my new APM :)
Leds are Ok.
Gps starts saying -1 sat and then 0 sat but gives the correct coordinates, is it ok ?
My problem is with the radio setup.
I get this in setup->radio

Hi all
I am building aflight controller for my thesis project. I understand that I will need a microcontroller to controller the sensors such as IMU, alitimeter, pressure snensor, GPS etc. But my supervisor wnts me to look at CPU as well.

Hi,
Hellow all! this is my first post here!
Im a novice from Taiwan.
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:

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

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:
