Align 550

Posted by Ross Manship on April 23, 2012 at 1:22pm

Has anyone tried to set up the ardupilot on an align 550 fbl set up. I'm a newbie when it comes to setting up the ardupilot only just had flying round in a fixed wing for some instrument tests.

 

Does anyone know where to get longer cables for the x bee modules and the gps modules?

 

Regards

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for the guidance, it looks like it is very possible, but maybe better to start with a cheap er helicopter untill I know what I'm doing. I am thinking possibly a belt cp v2 or similar.

    You're best to move this discussion to this forum:

    Not many people come here.

    I haven't heard of a 550 being used yet, but it should be same as a 600 which I've done.

    The Xbee cables can be made longer just by using new servo crimp plugs and reuse the Xbee 5 pin connector housings.  There are long-ish wires for the GPS available.
