Hello, I had an unfortunate crash with my fixed wing (Skywalker X5) and ended up frying both my motor and ESC. So I ordered a new motor and ESC from online store. The package arrived today but the problem is they sent the wrong ESC. I ordered a 30A E

I am looking to see if anyone knows of a ready to fly pixhawk based mapping plane at around the $1500 price point with camera. I know of the TuffWing at around the $2500 price point plus say 200 for the camera. I was also looking at using the RMRC An

I'm working on setting up auto flaps for landing and takeoff on my aircraft. I followed this: http://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/automatic-flaps.html, but I can't seem to get the flaps to move on my benchtop when I put the Pixhawk into FB

"APM: PreArm: "
And:
"Got MAVLink msg: COMMAND_ACK {command : 400, result : 4}" When running on MavProxy

I am using telemetry 9xtend900 mhz to send and receive pixhawk data , and I am using Video throw video transmitter .
now I have information to send such as :
Sensor data
Camera control data
Gimbal control
that data doesn't work with Pixhawk So I n

I have the pixhawk armed without GPS (solid blue light, APM Planner says "armed").
Pixhawk is plugged into my computer over USB
BEC powering servos (well, one servo at the moment) by it's plugged into the AUX rail.

I am using Arduplane with my gas plane ,
I want to include some sensor such as

Fuel level sensor.
Motor Temp Sensor.
I need to add them to pixhawk and control them from mission planner .
Is there any information about this ?
How to ?

I have tested my plane with one Airspeed sensor MPXV7002DP Also wrote on it "CY" and "K1419"
and It works fine in Auto mode and every thing is ok .

I am very new to this forum and I would like to try to get started by building an ArduPlane.
I can fly an airplane model, I have some manual and electronic engineering skill, and I am pretty good when it comes to software.
Unfortunately, when

I've been using a Pixhawk for a while and I've never had this happen:
We calibrated the accel/compass and gyro when we arrived at the field
All sensors looked good after calibration.
On the ground all of the servos worked (tested throttle as well)

We did a XAUV Talon flight with latest Arduplane release.
The flight started fine in auto take off with a catapult method.
Once in flight the plane started to make a sinusoidal trajectory as if the center of gravity was off, although the CG had been

As many planes are too small to mechanically create exponential aileron movements it would be very beneficial to to this with MW.
More up than down.

We did a XUV Talon flight with the new 3.5 firmware. I need some help to interpret the VIBE graph and the PID pitch tuning graph.
First the VIBE graph : I see Z-accel seems quite high (and in the classical vibration graph, it goes from +5 to -5

Hello, I am going to prepare a VTOL platform and I have a question: what are the pros and cons of QuadPlane APM and VTOL px4? Which should I choose?
Does anybody have any experience with these two softwares?
