good day.
I have a roblem with 3dr radio telemetry, do not connect to each other.
the strange thing is that will make connecting one month ago and everything worked perfect, on a Friday to a Monday stopped connecting for no apparent reason.
I wonder
Hi
i am looking to have my fx-61 fly a waypoint circuit continuously until the battery voltage drops to a certain value which then executes a RTL/RTH but actually follows like a waypoint path to the RTL/RTH to do a landing.
is this possible ? has anyon
I am doing AP and photogrammetry with Bixler + APM + GPS + telemetry.
It flies fine but as soon as going upwind when wind above 10mph, plane is wagging, fighting, and battery gets dead very quickly.
Bottom line I need something slow but wind resistant

No more GPS fix, bad GPS health on MP, compass working OK.
Power on Ublox says 4,87v when connected to USB and 4,95v when connected to Lipo

Is there anything special to know or to do between Home and Waypoint 1 ?

i have an issue i am not sure how to solve. the problem is the pitch and roll reversed issue.
on the mission planner if i pitch or roll it shows correctly, but if i look on the plane it is reversed. anyone seen this problem before or know how to fix

May I suggest a new APM mode : "twister" ?
Now that we are entering the 3D world (video, printers, scanners), I can foresee many uses for that mode. Photogrammetry, inspection, even selfies... Could be used by p
Read more…Before doing that, I would like to have your opinion.
I have always tried as much as I can to take advantage of nature forces instead of fighting it.
So I am starting from a fact : upwind flights are way slower than flying downwind.
I want to take advan

I am flying my Bixler in stabilize mode and auto, everything works fine including RTL (I have to wait 5 good minutes after first GPS fix for proper home than it is ok).
I have just overloaded my Bixler with a Canon A2500 and a Mobius on the wings

Problem : plane climbs above the pre-determined waypoints while doing the mission and keeps on climbing. I have no clue why.
It should have nothing to do with cruise speed right ?
Is my barometer not w

About to do my first RTL tomorrow.
Is there any throttle variable to input as in a copter, or is the throttle managed entirely by my TX ?
Thank you

I am now building a Bixler.
I have 4 servos (2 ailerons, 1 rudder, 1 pitch) connected to three cables to the APM outputs and 1 ESC opto also connected to the APM output.
I therefore need an external source

When enabling RTL the following happens: It tries to get the plane immediately to the RTL altitude of 100m, which is fine. but it gives max eleron and decre

I get very violent servo twitching (only on Channel 2) when the Ardupilot is in Flight Mode 6 (Manual). I understand that twitching Servos in Manual Mode can be a very common problem because of the power source/servo cables, but in my case
