Hi Guys, I just want to share what happened to my team a while ago at the field. We just installed the airspeed sensor the previous night. When we tried to connect via 3DR, it hangs at this part of the parametersWe tried several reboots, reflashes to
Hi guys,
My team and I are assembling a Skywalker FPV with APM 2.5 and we have a little issue with the throttle on boot up. Upon initialization, the throttle range of the tx stick is changed, motor spins up to about 15% power although the throttle sti

I require 5x ERA-8SM+ amplifiers from Mini Circuits.
MOQ is 20 devices, not too bad, comes to just over $25, BUT the postage and handling to this end of the world is $100 !!!!!
Any kind soul over in the US

I got the HK RQ-4 and I'm about to order my first ArduPilot to put it in.
However, on the TX, I have now configured the plane with V-tail rudder/elevator and flaperons. In the ArduPlane manual, it shows only 2 configs, standard 4 channel and elevo

i can't connect APM planner 1.2.12 with Arduplane 2.60/3/5 (APM 1) in baud rate of 19200. It is normal at that baud rate or need something to fix. baud rate config is made through Arduino 1.0.1.

Posted here couple days ago regarding setting flaps more specifically crow flaps into APM2.5. Today after tinkering with the code finally a breakthrough.
I can set the innerboard surfaces flaps only with the outer board raising up when i

I was thinking, is it possible to create a small box as a "follow me beacon" that sends it's current position to an ArduPilot as "append waypoint" command. The question is, what does Ardupilot do when it reaches the last waypoint in a list without

Need a little bit of help.
Im currently trying to make my control surface on my Rite Zephyr II such that they are flaperons. Basiclly there are four surfaces, 2 on each side and with some searching in this forum i have managed to make them wor

Hello everyoneI would like some advice on flaperons on AMP. I have my plane set up with flaperons and it works as expected in manual mode. I had to reverse RC1_REV to get the ailerons to move in the correct direction when I switch to other flight mod

Hey everyone
On my first bench test I made the wrong assumption that my receiver scales the input voltage. I have a 7.4V receiver pack hooked up to the receiver that’s hooked up to the AMP2. I then connected the AMP2 to the PC through USB. Initially e
