Hi folks,
I've been doing research into learning how to access offline maps in droidplanner 2 on my new android device.
I'm completely new to this android operating system but have gotten the hang out droidplanner 2.
My current issue is offline maps. I

Hello all!
Glad to find a forum based on the Y6 -- apologies if I'm missing anything obvious.
1) Tried to get my Y6 off the ground several times (after doing the calibrations/etc from ardupilot.com), and each time one of the back arms (the left one I

Read more…Hi All,
Currently I am using roscopter ROS node(link) to send RC override control to control Y6. However, it turns out that I can not change flight mode by using my RC transmitter when the APM is connected with roscopter node.
Is there any way to confi
Read more…Hi guys,
I'm considering 'building' a Y6 copter. I have been quite surprised by the few affordable Y6 frames available.
Anyway, the 3DR Y6 frame seems a pretty choice: quite cheap for the quality (I hope so...), foldable, not super-large, elegent...

I'm pretty new to UAVs and DIY drones, and I've been tasked with building a Y6 as an environmental research platform (seemingly a common thing...). I've got pretty far with my build and just waiting on propellers so I can complete transferring

Read more…So I am rather new to this, and have been having some trouble with the setup of my 3dr y6, 2013 model. The main issue has been that during flight it has major issues holding its heading, with respect to the yaw. This isn’t a problem all of the time
Read more…Hello all,Thank you for all the advice over the last few months. I love my Y6. I have a GoPro, with gimbal, FPV. I can actually see in real time what the GoPro sees. The components I'm using are all the standard 3DR kits. I have two questions though.
Read more…Anyone experienced with this? I'm satisfied with the performance of my Y6 now and would like to try FPV.
At $189.99 the price seems right. Any reason(s) not to use this system?
I already have an AV-USB adapter to start out using a laptop, may get moni
Read more…Are any of you guys (or girls?) using a sonar module from the 3DR store? If so, how did you mount it?
They sell a mounting plate, but it's for the "Hexa-B", not the Y6. It looks like it goes between two arms of the hexa, and so wouldn't work on the Y6
