Ok I received the mq9 from nitroplanes as a gift not sure if this is best format for ardupilot. This thing has a 8 ft wingspan! Is this going to be a nightmare for my first ardupilot project ?any suggestions greatly appreciated thanks-
Read more…Guys,
I'm a little confused as to what and how to set-up a 3 pos switch. I would like the 3 positions to be:
Manual
Stabilize
RTH
The Arduino interface says:
If you only want 3 modes set 1=2, 3=4, 5=6 and set your switch to produce 1165, 1425, and 18

I'm a video game programmer (focusing on artificial intelligence) and I'd like to take some of the concepts I've had a chance to experiment with in virtual worlds to our very concrete world. I'm interested in building a "multi propeller" cop
I'm using 2.4Ghz rx/tx.
Using 900Mhz for telemetry.
Question is, since the rx/tx is spectrum, shouldnt I also be able to use 2.4Ghz for video, or would it stll cause interference?
If so, what frequency would be good otherr than 2.4 and 900?

Easystar noob here.. After upgrading my ESC to extended-length motor leads, I'm trying to tuck these three 16ga silicone wires into the Easystar fuse before gluing. The existing channel is not deep enough to hold them.. maybe two at the most.

Hi there,
I'm reviewing the code whilst finishing off on the last details on the APM (voltage monitor, xbee connection, etc.) . I noticed that the APM makes rather heavy use of the eeprom also in flight.
From what I gather, the eeprom is written to a
Hi all. It seems you have some experience with this Easystar platform..
I'm building one just for ArduPilot, and starting with brushless..

Hallo,
i play with idea to equip my airframe with ardupilot but i need to control ailerons by two separate channels. Is there any ardupilot modification with such feature?
In description i saw only one channel for ailerons ;o(
Please tell me where the different props should be mounted.
Should the push props be forward and back or left and right?
Thanks

For a first-time user is it 'best' to use the latest? Or should I start with a tried-and-true version that may not have the latest add on?
