When I select "over Terrain" in the configtool, the altitude is getting weired numbers. But only when leaving the USA for setting waypoints.
Within the US, everything seem good, but I live in Switzerland and I would like to use the "over Terrain func

If I am using the IMU is it necessary to plug the Ublox GPS into that board or can it plug into the shield? If I plug it into the IMU the IMU will get a solid blue but the shield and Ardupilot will continue to blink blue. If I plug it into the shield
Read more…I've been running the test suites and everything appears to be checking out fine so far. However I noticed that when I switch from manual to one of the two modes loaded by default in Ardupilot my rudder moves from center to about 30 degrees left. I'v

This is really just a simple question of documentation, but what pins are the "SERVO" pwm pins connected to? IE, which pins would I declare as output in the firmware to control servos based on the orientation of the IMU?
Hello everyone
Anyone knows if is possible to change/create the waypoints during the flight?

Read more…Hi,
Hi
I've read through as many helicopter-autopilot discussions here as I could find. I'm trying to quantify what the issues are with going from a fixed wing autopilot to a helicopter autopilot. What I've been able to gather, is that vibration seems to
What program or flight simulator do I need to use the joysticks of my futaba tx to practice flying? Do I need a special cable to connect the tx to the computer?? If so...link??

Should I buy something that has ailerons?
Been a long time away from the website, and I gotta say you guys and gals have made some significant improvements to an already impressive system. I hope to be back in the field playing with our UATs this summer.
