I have run into some problems with the PPM encoder on my APM. The trouble begun when iinstalled the APM in my Twinstar II.
After installation i could not switch autopilot modes reliable and afterinstallation of all servos i the yellow LED started to
Hi, I am a novice of Ardu Project. I got a MediaTek GPS, a ArduIMU+ with ArduPilot(red). My GPS and IMU work well in miniGPS Test and ArduIMUTest respectively. But I failed to do Test Program 6.

But after removing the IMU, it shows:

I am not using an easystar and would like to refine my throttle parameters as I need a bit more ground speed to keep the plane in the air.
I found the CH3_MIN and CH3_MAX and will change it.

Hi all.. I am currently trying to read the GPS data using Microsoft Visual Studio.
I am using the EM406 GPS tester and I am able to see the data through the serial monitor.
I've typed a simple C# program to read.
Please correct me if I am wrong somewher
Hello,
I am completely new to the arduino community, and have been itchin' to try out arduino. I still haven't ordered a kit still because of a couple of questions:
1. what kit should I order?
- Im completely new to this.
Are there any plans to add the capability of modifying the waypoints/flight path while the plane is airborne using ardupilot?
Thanks.
Using ArduIMU+ V2 (Flat) with arduino-0019 IDE on Win Vista SP2...
First step went fine -- I connected the ArduIMU board, and Win Vista found and installed the FTDI USB driver.
Then I launched the arduino-0019 application, chose port COM4 (FTDI USB), o
Wanted to get your all's opinion on this engine for possibly reducing vibration to be used for AP.

I am currently designing a glider (no motors) for long duration flights and I would like to make the glider at 4 pounds (1816g) or less. I am considering a carbon fiber frame ( I don't plan to do crazy stunts with the glider ), and also considering t

Is the only difference between the two is the code?
Or are they different in the hardware (I saw there were some versions of the ardupilot and it seems that th

I have ordered the xyz sensors and the ardu shield kit from diy drones. the stuff is with a relative of mine in USA. I wish to know weather or not the US Customs will object on sending the stuff to me in Pakistan as my relative will courier the s
I'm building my UAV airframe this weekend and I need to install the active pitot tube in the wing but my ArduPilot Shield kit hasn't arrived yet. It appears that the active tube is just a plain tube connected to the Shield by fuel tubing. Can someone

I am using configurator v1.2.1 and software 1.31 for my arducopter.
The gyros do not show any movement when I twist and turn the quad.

Hello,
what must be my PID regulation frequency for my QuadRotor?
1ms, 10ms, 100ms?
It seems ESC for Brushless motors can't change values under 20ms, so it is not necessary to compute PID quickly?
I have an IMU (Razor 9DoF) and i communicate with it

First of all, I am back! as I said that I went for my examination.
Now it's time to continue with my project.
A question had come to my mind recently.
